Ok, ok, ok.
I’m bad at keeping a regualr blogging schedule. We all know this. But I think I’ll be able to get back in to the swing of things now that the semester has started up again and it’s relatively certain that I’ll be in front of a computer every Tuesday and Wednesday morning. So If I’m in front of a computer, I’ll be here, and type in a little of this and that. (what?)
So? What’s new?
Well the semester has started. The last one. Which means not only will this one be pretty busy (papers and projects and a class to TA and the extremely part time job) but it will also be spiced with the fact that I need to find a job. So, you know, no stress.
Although the semester will be hectic and busy and unnerving, I think it’ll be fun too. Here are my classes and why they’ll be fun: Architectural Conservation II – New semester/new instructor. And this instructor has already gotten us out of the classroom and off campus. Which, frankly, is where I want to be. There’ll be alot of work in the class, but I think I’ll learn alot too. Community Preservation Projects – All the students pick an organization that needs some sort of historic preservation work done and do pro bono work for them. I’m working for a town historical society up by the Canadian border who needs a conditions assessment done on their caboose. Awesome. Historic Preservation Development Economics – This is the class where we learn how to apply what we’ve learned so far in order to make a buck. 2 classes down so far and both really interesting. I’m not a huge numbers guy, but I like the idea of reusing something old, finding a new use for it, letting it tell its story, and letting people make money off of it. That’s the only way preservation ideals will be accepted by the world at large.
Anyway, the big scary semester will be interesting and fun too. That’s what I’m saying.
I’m also saying that I’ll try to do better about updating this here blog.
Woo.
