I register for Fall 2012 (and, I am able to also register for Winter 2013, and Summer 2012, if I want to do that at all…) tomorrow at 6am, and all day.
I had the classes I wanted to take all planned out and I was ready and all set to go.
Until I looked deeper into the classes.
As it would turn out, one of the classes I wanted to take the most, Early Child Development birth to age 8… conflicts with the ensemble class that I am required to take for my minor and to keep my music scholarship.
The class meets on Mondays, at 1pm-4:20pm.
Wind Symphony meets on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 12pm-1:30pm.
Obviously, this is a problem.
The class isn’t offered during the Summer or Winter semesters either. :/
I'm meeting with my band director tomorrow to figure out if we could make this work, and if not, I made a back up schedule.
IDEAL:
Monday:
8am-9:07am History of Film Music
12pm-1:30pm Wind Symphony
1pm-4:20pm Early Child Development Birth to Age 8
Tuesday:
10am-11:47am Foundations of Contemporary Psychology
Wednesday:
8am-9:07am History of Film Music
12pm-1:30pm Wind Symphony
Thursday:
10am-11:47am Foundations of Contemporary Psychology
Friday:
8am-9:07am History of Film Music
12pm-1:30pm Wind Symphony
Not so ideal schedule, but would still be okay:
Monday:
8am-9:07am History of Film Music
12pm-1:30pm Wind Symphony
Tuesday:
8:30am-11:47pm Studio Art 2-D
1pm-2:47pm Foundations of Contemporary Psychology
Wednesday:
8am-9:07am History of Film Music
12pm-1:30pm Wind Symphony
Thursday:
1pm-2:47pm Foundations of Contemporary Psychology
Friday:
8am-9:07am History of Film Music
12pm-1:30pm Wind Symphony
It was frustrating, because the Child Development class is the one that I really wanted to take. But it's only offered at that time, in the fall semester. I would have taken it over the summer, but its not available. The Music history class is also only offered in the fall semester.
This is kind of annoying. :(
In other news.
Went to the Neurologist today, and got my medication fixed up. Up to a higher dosage on my regular medicine, and then got a "booster" medicine for the afternoon and evening and such, on a "when I need it" basis. Hopefully this all works out, and hopefully there's no conflict with them. When my brother switched medicines or upped the dose, he started getting tics and things.
I'm glad that the medicine has been upped, normally people aren't. But this is the first time since I started taking the medicine in 2006 that I've had it altered. So, about six years. Because it's been so long, I had to schedule a few tests to be done later. I need an EEG and a Tavo test. The EEG is when they stick a bunch of probes and sticky nonsense to my head, I chill out for an hour, and they monitor me to make sure I'm not having subtle brain seizures or anything out of the ordinary. The Tavo is the one that sucks (even though having sticky crap in my hair sucks). I sit there for about a half an hour and watch a screen. Each time a star or bubble or something comes on the screen, I press a button. I guess it tests my reaction time, as well as my levels of patience and focus. Obviously, a tricky spot for someone with ADD.
But I'm glad it's being upped, because I'm realizing in college that I seriously need it. I need the assistance focusing on everything. I'm glad it was raised now, so that I have it to really focus and help with exam studying.
Everything is still pretty stressful, and I assume it will be until the semester is over, with my theory exam, piano exam, projects, essays...
I have a huge number of projects and essays for my World Cultures class.
- A group project on Ireland (45 minutes min)
- A research essay on Ireland (5-8 pages)
- Group composition project relating to West African music
- Take home essay test
Then of course the dreaded Music Theory II exam, an optional Aural Skills II exam (which I may as well take advantage of), another Contextual Listening project for Aural skills, the revision of three essays and a portfolio reflection essay for writing, and a piano exam. Oh, not to mention Juries. Fuuuuuck, juries.
Whelp.
See you later internet.
Gonna go die.
