I'm sorry, I need to explain...but I'm back! :D

I need to explain why I haven't blogged in months. But the explanation is rather simple. College takes up my life. More specifically, my classes and homework. I swear Interior Design Majors have the largest amount of homework. I'll explain later, but it really is pretty ridiculous. Having a social life is a difficult activity, at college, in my major. Anyway, I've finally found time to post, and there's a lot to catch up on, considering so much has happened, and I haven't blogged about it in that time. This post will cover my classes and professors, as exciting as that is...but some of you might care :)

Unlike some other majors, especially undeclared, it might be a surprise that interior design majors are launched into the program. By this I mean all of my classes have to do with my major, because, near the end of the second semester of freshman year, I have this huge test that decides whether or not I continue in the program or not. There are about 73 kids in the program right now, but only about 40 go through. And at least 4 kids have already dropped out. It's rather stressful, but I can already tell I will be well-prepared, based on the criteria of my classes, and my realization that the Interior Design Program at CSU really is one of the best in the nation.

I have Visual Arts Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9-9:50 AM. It's in essence an art history class, but it also teaches basic techniques and definitions of terms in art. The class is easy and straight-forward, the professor is great, and I did really well on my first exam.

Following Visual Arts, I have General Psychology from 11-11:50. I took Psych senior year of high school, but this class just covered the whole semester from last year in basically a month. It's fast-paced, and I had forgotten a lot of what I had learned, and I love learning a ton of new things. But the most fun part of psychology for me is the research studies. By the end of semester, we're required to have 6 hours of research studies, which you just sign up for and attend and get credit. A lot of them are fascinating, but there was one rather traumatic one...anyway,

I have Sketching from 8-10:40 AM (I know...) on Tuesday and Thursday. It's killer. Mostly because I've never drawn before (I hated the art classes at my high school) but also because I literally have no idea what I'm doing, and all the other interior design majors who have become some of my great friends, are in the same situation. So it's not just me. It's also a huge time crunch, as I'll hopefully talk about later, but it seriously takes up a lot of my time. The professor is one of the coolest teachers I have ever met, not in the chill easy way, in the way that he will push you to your full potential and inspire you to always do better, to not be afraid of being bold and messing up, and to love what you do, and do it with a great attitude. It's fulfilling.

My other class on Tuesdays and Thursdays is Introduction to Interior Design. This class really gets down to the basics of design, terms, and analysis of interior spaces, as well as some architecture, and the psychology behind it (how a person feels when they enter a room). My professor is one of the craziest people I have ever met, and she reminds me of one of my classmates from high school all grown up. She's so awesome and always makes the whole class laugh, it really makes a lecture more lively. (except those moments I fall asleep due to lack of sleep- she definitely pointed me out the next day, it was so embarrassing...)

That's just a general overview, so that I don't bore you to death. But there will be more to come, and they'll be more exciting as well. Glad I could come back to this, I've definitely missed blogging so much. :)
