Art and Philosophy Class

I am so excited about this class! I have always been interested in philosophy but to have it combined with art; which I love; it is just simply awesome.

I am learning so much. This class is perfect to kick start my brain after seventeen years of being out of school. It has been a slow start but I determined to get a good grade.

I need to be a faster reader since there is a lot of reading to done and also my focus is bad. But I guess is just a matter of getting into some good studying habits.

It has been a little weird to to be seating in class with such young people. It was weird even back when I was in college because even though I was as young as them I was already a parent and always a part time student because I had to work full time. Even tough I'm pretty good at relating to young people now I really have nothing in common with them. Their lack of motivation really bothers me. While I'm ecstatic about the opportunity to be back in school; to me; it seems that they are there but really not there. It could be that to them a class like this is just a requisite and that is why they really have no interest in learning anything about it.  But even that is not an excuse to show some motivation and participation. There is about three of them whom are very smart and I'm very impressed with their eloquence and thoughts in the subject.

The professor is really good and that is a tremendous plus in a class like this.  There is nothing I dislike more than to sit in a class with a professor that I do not respect because his lack of knowledge in the subject or poor teaching techniques. But that is not the case here.

I was thinking that how have I not taken this type of classes before since I have always liked the subject. I should have a list taken it even if it was as a non-credit class. But there is really no point in looking back. All we have is the now and the now is pretty great!!!
