Cold and Ugly - Tool
Okay, time for what you've all been waiting for: my "first day back" post.
Music theory should be fairly simple. Traditional lecture-style presentation, material I'm familiar with and (more importantly) care about, small-to-medium-size class. Nothing too complicated or strange.
Acting I was a complete shock. The instructor is a borderline fruitcake, big into motion acting and dance. For example, he wants us to wear leotards to class, and a portion of each class will be devoted to yoga exercises. Somehow, I don't think this is how Dr. Jones would've handled this class, but unfortunately she's no longer at the helm. Needless to say, I'm not sure I'll ever reach the "leotard" stage, but he said shorts and a tank top were fine "for starters." The only thing missing from the stereotypical acting coach is a lisp.
Patterns of Phenomena should prove interesting, if a little challenging. It's about number theory, infinity, statistics, stuff like that. The fun part is our book came with a little kit for building Platonic solids. The instructor is straight out of a teen/college movie: the geeky math chick. Her mannerisms remind me a lot of Alyson Hannigan's character in the American Pie series.
Tomorrow's lineup consists of Asian Civilizations I and Introduction to Philosophy. History has always been somewhat interesting to me, so that should be okay. Judging from the booklist, we'll be reading a lot of Plato in Philosophy, which is fine by me.
Stay tuned tomorrow for the killer sequel "My Second First Day Back," appearing only on this little digital sheet of existence.
