13. I'm eagerly awaiting the start of the spring semester!

Two more days!

I've got crazy ambitious ideas for the Foundation Review class - the culmination of my 1st year BFA program . . . after 3 years of classes. Only 3 (9) more years to go. Woot!

(In my retirement, I'm pursuing a BFA. As a university retiree, I get 2 classes per semester for free - so a second bachelors degree would normally take 5 semesters, but because it's a fine arts degree (and my original degree was in math/physics), it will take me around 15 semesters.)
