So the blog is back from winter break, and as for myself, this will be the masochistic quarter. I’m taking a lot of classes, too many really, but I’m excited about them. They are a good mix of stuff I enjoy doing, and stuff I want to push my boundaries in.
One of the classes that I think is going to be more fun than I anticipated is Labanotation. It’s required for my degree, I’d want to take it anyway to have some familiarity with it, but after our first session today, I’m irrationally excited about it. I think it will be a major nerd-out class for me, drawing the little symbols and asking “what if you change that situation to this situation?” all the way. We did a little exercise today with just the couple of tools we had learned, and I was washed over by a rush of glorious satisfaction at manipulating the symbols and getting it to come out right. (Kind of like math–and in fact, the teacher said that people with a math background tend to do well with Labanotation.) If only the class required a graphing calculator and a pocket protector, my life would be complete…
Hey, if I can’t wallow in my nerdy side during school, when can I?
