So. Got the grades for last semester.  
Design I  -- A
Walking and Fitness -- A
Commercial Desigh -- B (and better than I deserved at that)

Making big goals for next semester.  Planning on taking another PE class to keep me in the gym.  (Beginning Weight Training)

One of my favorite Autocad teachers is offering a "Structural Drafting" Class that I'm so excited to take.  Love the teacher and his style and I know I can get all his work done in the class time so there's no yucky homework to worry about.

Taking Advanced Autocad with HOlmes.  I've heard he's not too hard from someone who was not-so-good at Autocad so I figure I should do alright.

I've got Residential Design I with Cheryl Sutphen.  Even though I dropped her 3DStudio Max class last semester (I waas just too tired after 8 yrs at school to focus), I liked her and I think I'll do alright.  I already know most of what I need from other classes. This should just be putting it together.

Mr. Kholdi (who gave me the undeserved B last semester) is teaching a class in ArchiCad.  I'll have to watch out for the big final project with him, but I think it shouldn't be too hard.

All in all, lots of computer-based classes this semester.  I'm getting two required classes and two electives out of the way though, so it should be pretty cool.  

I feel a lot more enthusiastic this semester than last.  HOpe my energy levels hold up through it.

EDIT:  This will leave me 3 required classes and 1 elective classes away from my degree.  OMG so close.

AutoCAD= Computer-assisted drafting. Which is sort of my focus. It's something that I get $45/hr to do freelance (although that company gives me like 2hrs/month of work). I figure I can get a decent paying job, and i enjoy the work. It's like a puzzle, trying to find the cleanest and quickest way to get the drawing done.

It feels so good to be near the end. Now if they only offer those 4 in the right semester.

And ArchiCAD is a drafting program that's only good for architecture.

3DStudioMax is a multi-purpose graphics program that's used for architectural idea-presentation but nto so much accurate drawing creation. It makes pretty pictures though, with easy-to-use animation and sunlight effects and stuff like that.
