Block 7 - American Politics and Government [i]
Block 8 - Dance and Digital Technology [j]
FOOTNOTES
[a] Speaking of annotations and postmodernism, I can't believe David Foster Wallace committed suicide. Mom told me he died, but I didn't imagine the worst. I loved his review of Terminator 2. Poop.
[b] Waitlisted #4 and probably never going to make it in. There were few Block 2 class choices that appealed to me. Really.
[c] "Kathryn, I feel like you're trying to prove something here."
[d] Not changing this. Nope.
[e] I want to take Int. Politics of Mid. East and N. Africa later on, and not during a Block 8.
[f] with Carter, my ex-advisor.[k] I'm gonna feel the burn in this class. He's a toughie. But I feel that it will be very beneficial to my overall education.
[g] This was the only "West in Time" requirement I could fit in. While the requirements at C.C. generally don't ask too much of us kids, I think of the "West in Time" requirement concept (and the very small choice of classes that fit it) as rather silly. The good news is: there's only 7 kids signed up for it. That's not including freshmen, though.
[h] Still keeping it.
[i] a Poli Sci major requirement. Yawn.
[j] Sweet! And there's no final live performance, because the projects are filmed and made into a movie which is then presented, so I won't miss track things.[l] And Patrizia will be so happy. [m] She asked me specifically to enroll. I'm continually surprised at how phenomenal the dance dept. at C.C. is.
[k] Something tells me that I should learn to play golf, so that I can get on his good side. Not that we would actually play golf, but we could talk about it.
[l] Also, there's no papers and I'll be able to get some sleep during track season and not get sick [n] and attend all those pole vault practices besides.
[m] Patrizia taught my beginning choreographer class, and she's brilliant.
[n] I haven't been sick all Block. I have been so healthy[o] that I deserve a medal. Not even a sniffle.
[o] immune system-wise. Taunt me not about running.

Hi Kate: Thanks for the sked & all of the footnotes. Sorry I didn't realize you didn't know about DFW. Pretty sad.
The new sked looks good: two two-block classes means you'll have bigger chunks of time for some subjects - good, yes?
I thought you said your ex-advisor retired? Is retiring? Who's your new advisor? I love that you got into a dance class for block 8 and that your teacher requested you: sweet!
Also glad to hear you're stayed so healthy. Good girl, vegetarian living suits you. I just hope you'll be able to be back & running soon.
Thanks for the Sunday night phone calls; Dad and I appreciate them.
Good luck with the final project. Touch base with us when the block is over. Enjoy the break.
Love,
M
You made footnotes for your footnotes--silly Kate.
I hope you know that by signing up for Arabic lessons, you unwittingly made an agreement to teach me some things besides "hello" and "welcome." I got "hello" and "welcome" down, thanks to my ESL student last year. "Earrings" fell by the wayside.
Now . . . there is only ONE student signed up for West in Time: French Civilization Block 3-4.
Me.
