School is off to a good start!

The hardest course by far is French I. I'm just not very good at languages. But, it's fun in that I like the teacher and fine him quite interesting and funny. The class rolls along quite quickly. I just wish I was more skilled at it!

So far the math 110 is going well. I'm actually understanding most of it. And again, it's not a strong subject for me so I'm pleased. And again, I really like this teacher. In fact, I really like all my teachers!

I was a little nervous this morning in W290 (Writing). I thought I completely took the wrong approach for my research paper as I was led by the authors (artists) motivations versus just their works, but I think the Professor helped me find a good foundation for the paper. I believe, at least starting out, that I'm going to research Emily Dickinson's 'miraculous year' and take a look at it from the angle of what was going on historically, personally for her and where it appears to have led her works (themes). I can take examples from that period to work with. She wrote over 360 poems that year!

As for 3D Art I'm really liking that too! I'm making 3D toilet paper food and my food is a crab soup in 18th century bowls and kettles. My box art will be generational in nature with a 'private' feel to it. I'm setting it up that you have to look in a 'window' to see what's in it. :)
