My hardest class and most time consuming is probable my media experimentation class, and most expensive. This class I learn how to use different types of paints and techniques. For example my first assignment is a photo Rendering assignment. If you have every seen photo-realsim art (aka the paintings of the prophets) paintings that look like a photo. That is my first assignment. Everything we paint is taken from a picture that we take. This fist painting will take around 40 hours to complete and I have one week to complete it! But when I was talking with one of my art professor about it he said I would be fine and that this is the hardest assignment for the class then they get easier.
My second Art class that I was scared about was my head drawing class. I was scared up until today (first day) when the models came in a we were asked to draw them! I was not ready for this at all. But then the words of Bro Call (my teacher I've had before and love) came to me just start don't spend time worrying how to do it just do it. I honestly don't think I would be able to do art if it wasn't for Bro Call. He will sit down right next to you and draw so that you can watch and he'll talk out loud so you can understand what he is thinking and doing at the same time. He also encourages us to talk and will ask us questions about our lives which always make class more enjoyable.
So the best part of being hirer up in your major is the fact that you know people! I know quit a few people in all my art classes which is great. Even better is that even though I haven't been here since last winter semester a girl I formed a study group with for Art History happens to be taking it this semester too! We both figured the other person would have taken before now. (We have to take quit a few art history classes)
I'm also taking my Edu 304 class which is Educational Psychology. So far it seems interesting and the teacher seems willing to help out if we need it. This class and New Testaments are the classes that I actually get homework that I can do during work.
Yep, thats right I have a job where I get payed to do my homework! I am a receptionist for the LDS Philanthropies office here on campus, and its great. I mostly answers phones and direct people where to go. I also stuff envelopes and file stuff. But since I work in the afternoon most of the actual productive things have already been done so I spend about 30 mins of work actually doing work and then the rest of the time doing homework, reading, or writing this blog post.

Being in the higher classes is great. It's always fun to walk into a new class and see a bunch of familiar faces. Also, work-study? I never had that... jealous.
YAY! I LOVE work study! Glad to hear things are going well. :)
