Hi Ho HI Ho...

Its off to work to work I go
... or Goodbye ITC, Hello CAMS
All the changes around campus have been insane and I have been busy helping Prof Pete change the ITC into CAMS. Easy task you say, not so I say. Since the whole place is undergoing a restructure I have been busy packing the items we are no longer housing into boxes appropriate to the depts that will now house them. I have also been busy taking inventory of what we will be keeping, finishing up partially finished projects that were left behind from the ITC, and helping Pete figure out some of the fine details in the workings of CAMS. Although it is sad to say goodbye to the ITC, and all the the ITC has meant to me for the past 3 years, I think is also a good, happy and welcome hello to CAMS.

Its off to school I go
... or Bring on the classes
Classes have begun and I believe that I now have my class schedule solidified. Its always nerve racking when you are unsure of your class schedule and major changes are still being made to it the day after classes started. Although my schedule isn't as good as the original schedule, I think that I am still happy with it. I no longer have any Pete classes, but I think I will survive since he is now also my boss. The good news is that I have 2 Compass Academy classes now, which I am pretty excited about. I think it will good for me to only be on campus partial time and spend the rest of time at Compass. Thankfully Cornerstone pays for those classes, that really makes me happy. I was thinking the other day that I really complain about how horrible Cornerstone is quite often. I also realized how ungrateful I am for Cornerstone. I really need to be much more grateful to Cornerstone and all that they offer me. I need to be grateful that I am able to receive a good Christian education. Not only am I receiving a good Christian education, but I am recieving it for free. Cornerstone didn't need to continue providing me with tuition remission, but I am glad they have. I don't think I would have continued my education if they hadn't. I don't think I would have been able to afford it. It has been a great oppurtunity and I need to be thankful that I have been provided with it. So, if any of you hear me complaining about Cornerstone please tell me to stop and remind me how blessed I am. End rabbit trail. This semester the class schedule consists of: The Transforming Media (COM 121), Anatomy and Physiology I (BIO 241), Intro to Fine Arts (FAR 211), Writing for Film (COM 250, Compass Academy), Basic Film Editing (COM 255, Compass Academy), and Mass Media & Society (COM 234). Although some of them are basic core drag classes, they will hopefully not be too bad of a load. 19 credits is pretty heavy, but I dont think that most of them will have much busy work. Let's just hope that I can maintain a somewhat normal sleep schedule and social life.

In other news
I was listening to Indie 103.1 (out of LA) today via internet broadcast. I really miss having a radio station like that at my fingertips while traveling my car. Back to the point... The DJ's were discussing the ugliest buildings in LA, and Park La Brea came in at the number 3 spot. It made me laugh a little. It also made me miss LA and PLB, even if it does have the #3 ugliest buildings in the city, it was still a fun place to live, in a great location. Although it being a great place to live could be attributed to the LAFSC friends for the most part. For an added point of enjoyment, Beverly Center came in the #2 spot. Since I was busy inventoring stuff at work, I happened to miss what came in #1 and anything lower than #3. I didn't really key in until PLB was mentioned.
