A+

I failed miserably in my promise to post about my my class, but I aced the class itself. I scored 100% on my paper and presentation. I missed a total of three questions on my tests and quizzes. My percentage for the class was 98.37. The class was however "Itroduction to Technology" so as a Technical Director.... perhaps I had an edge.

Degrees

There was another hold on registration that required me to meet with an advisor. The degree program Dean suggested would require an additional 15 hours over the mandatory 128. So I went to the Art Department to see about dropping from a BFA program, that would require a lot of mileage on our 98 Dodge Stratus on which I just rolled the 100K mark, with a BA in Visual Studies. Rowena and Ella went with me to meet Brent Oglesbee the art department head. He was very generous, and very patient. He agreed to accept an earlier design course no longer part of the curriculum. He will also substitute the portfolio class he felt was not germane to the goals of the degree program in my case with a upper level studio class. This will give me the BA with only 2 more classes. I will have to pick up a minor ,such as the Theater Departments Performing Arts Management, or a second BA in philosophy. Or something else. I have a year to decide.

Admission

The part of that got me was“The Admissions Committee has carefully reviewed your file and is confident WKU will benefit from your addition to our community. We also feel you will benefit from the rich history and tradition of our university.” I should be too old to be touched by sentiments expressed by from letter. Later when I went register for my first class, however, there was a hold on my account. Apparently I had left a $15 dollar fee unpaid since 1982. I guess they didn't check my file too closely. I am just glad they didn't add interest.
