Overall my quarter is going well. I will say that I didn't expect the work load to be this demanding since I'm only taking three classes all in the art department. To my underestimating belief, I had the impression that art was one of the simplest majors and could be done by just about anyone. Fortunately for me I have quickly seen the errors in my judgement and can now say that I have an extensive respect for artist of all types of art work.
What you should know is that I just recently switched into an art history major from electrical engineering. I went from taking math, science and engineering courses to art history and studio courses. Honestly a huge shift. Instead of having set answers to problems, now I have the creativity to not only create an answer but mold the problem or question to my liking. Another shift is going from numbers to letters. No more having to compute page long equations, but sadly now its off to doing pages after pages of writing both in blog and essay form.
The shift is taking me a bit to adjust to. My papers haven't gotten the highest grades, they have all been in the B range, so I do plan to change this for the final papers in my art history courses. At the moment I believe I'm sitting on all B's, which is fine but I'd prefer to get some A's.
