Humanities thing done ... now what?

I completed my Humanities project at 7:30 PM Thursday night. A huge weight just got off of my shoulders. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who felt this way. There were many people on the class's discussion board that said this was the most difficult thing they had done. I'm just hoping I pass it. If I pass this project, I pass the class. If I fail the project, I fail the class.

There's only four more classes to take at SVCC before graduating (assuming I pass this HUM final). I will be taking another Humanities class: Film appreciation. According to the SVCC Catalog, "An introduction to film as an art form, emphasizing a study of the aesthetic and production elements of the medium, including narrative genres, directorial style, cinematography, acting and editing." The other one is Principles of Modern Mathematics. According to the Catalog, "An investigation of the key ideas in contemporary mathematics. The following topics will be studied in-depth: mathematics of finance, basic geometry and measurement, coordinate geometry, and introductory probability and statistics. These topics are taught with an emphasis on problem-solving. This course serves as a general mathematics elective for liberal arts majors."

My Film books are going to cost $88.75, and it is a collection I have to get via the bookstore. My math book is going to cost $123.50 in the bookstore, but less than $35 on Amazon. I'm going to get the Amazon book on Wednesday, when I get paid.

I'm doing okay financially. I just made my first college payment yesterday of $193. All I have left this month are the textbooks. Hopefully I won't have to dig in my savings any further than what I just did yesterday.

I mentioned this a few posts back. I want to get a bicycle. There's a bike shop in town that I haven't made my way to yet. There's another bike at Wal-Mart that I like. So money is going to be a bit tight this month.

Which brings me to work. I'm still doing Saturday-Sunday-Monday, and may pick up an extra day next week.

Then there's NISB. I was planning on doing a photo feature, but only got halfway done with it before Humanities crunch time. Hopefully I can get a writeup of it done soon, and at least one more place. I'm also thinking about bringing back the Friday 5 in time for the fall season. I'll know more about the work/NISB arrangement after this string of days.

Finally, I'd like to end tonight by thinking about what Mike told me today. He wants to move out of the house in a week, and apparently he's already found a place to stay. All six of us have been together for 16 years. Kinda sad, but good for him and I hope he survives.
