      <title>Let's Get This Ball Rollin</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Classes have started back up again and so far it looks like this will be a pretty nice semester.  I cut my course credits down to nine, which is less than full-time status, but I&amp;#8217;m picking up three extra credits by helping out as a Studio Assistant in the audio lab (so I&amp;#8217;m back up to twelve credits and a full-time status).  I won&amp;#8217;t tire you with the explanation of &lt;span class="caps"&gt;MSU&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8217;s grad requirements or where I am in regards to it, but ultimately, this means that I will probably have to take one or two classes during the next summer, but I can still walk in the graduation ceremony in May.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;This is good.  Why?  Because, by taking fewer courses and spanning them across the next three semesters, I will be able to take classes that I will actually enjoy (rather then cramming credits for courses that I&amp;#8217;m not even interested in, i.e. Social and Political Philosophy, into two semesters).&lt;/p&gt;


Fall &amp;#8216;06 Schedule:
	&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;MUS431&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#8211; Music Business &amp;#8211; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;M W 10&lt;/span&gt;:20-11:10&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;TC346&lt;/span&gt;  &amp;#8211; Interactive Media I (HTML &amp;#38; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;CSS&lt;/span&gt;) &amp;#8211; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;M 12&lt;/span&gt;:40-2:30 Tu 3-5:50&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class="caps"&gt;TC491&lt;/span&gt;  &amp;#8211; Social, Cultural and Psychological Implications of Computer-Mediated Communication &amp;#8211; &lt;span class="caps"&gt;M W 3&lt;/span&gt;-4:20&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;Add 15 hours as Studio Assistant (Wed, Thur, Fri &amp;#38; Sun) and I&amp;#8217;ve got a pretty nice week going.&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;So I&amp;#8217;d say I have my bases covered: both time in the audio labs and &lt;span class="caps"&gt;HTML&lt;/span&gt;/CSS web development topics.  Next semester I plan to follow up the Interactive Media I course with its advanced level course, as well as complete and independent study for my audio professor (however, I&amp;#8217;m not sure what it will focus on yet &amp;#8211; any ideas?).&lt;/p&gt;


	&lt;p&gt;School rocks when you enjoy what you study.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
