The most interesting opportunity just arose. My dad thinks I should try for it. There is a course coming up that is an Intensive Interdisciplinary course about Sustainability and the Environment. I think Dad wants to take it, and so if I take it, then he can read all my notes.
I just handed in my Silk Roads Religions Paper on Tea.
Two hours later, I am in the office speaking with the secretary, student coordinator, and the academic advisor about the Silk Roads teacher. I am apparently not the only student with huge frustrations with how he taught the class and graded students thus far. I think I stuttered thru the whole meeting. It necessitated siting in my RAV with some calming tea in the underground parking till my next meeting with the advisor.
In my next meeting, I brought up the Sustainable Futures course being offered by the Concordia University Summer Research Course. It is mostly just for PhD students or MA students at the very END of their program. But this is literally right up my interests and what I am involved in. I could earn 3 credits in a 1-week course May 29th thru June 2nd. INSANE! I have been tentatively approved, tho the department is not sure if I will be accepted as they don;t see how my field will fit with the criteria for the course. I will talk to Dad for better wording on the application. I am sure I can say something about Religious Stewardship and Paganism. Good grief, those certainly are all about sustainability in some way.
I need to have the new apartment and roommate thing sorted out before that class starts.
Please let me in. Please let me in. Please let me in.
