    Aww cry me a river! College is the best time of your life...oh, your going back for a degree? Yeah, well then i can sympathize. Congradulations on selfishly giving up all of your remaining free-time for the betterment of your family and yourself. My wife is almost done after 3 years of night school for her mba, and it has shown me that i do not have the desire to spend those hours, as much as i admire her for her sacrafice.

    My degree was in Civil Engineering. My wife has been slugging through her 2nd degree while working a demanding job so i think i have some insight to how college can run your ass ragged. Keep at it Kenyth, there is light at the end of the tunnel.

    Well, ceramics and big honking cigar ash trays may not be in the cards for me. That class requires lab/shop time during restricted hours to do your homework. I don't think I'll subject my wife to yet another night alone every week. I think I'm stuck with classes that allow homework you can take home.

    Kenyth, try checking out your course catalogue, and run a degree audit for yourself online (if your school has that, if not you can get them at your advisor's office), because i know sometime a fine arts credit will allow you to take an industrial art class to meet that requirement. I think it's usually like intro to AutoCADD or even or something along those line. That would be better than some stupid poetry class nonsense.

    If I was a traditional student, I would have more options like this. Unfortunately, night classes have far fewer choices. The total available fine arts night courses are:

    Introduction to Fine Arts
    Perspective in Fine Arts
    Ceramics
    Music (This one seems to be offered less frequently)
    Introduction to Drawing (Offered very rarely. Only heard of it, never seen it in the course catalog. I'd take it in an instant. I can draw a bit.)

    Yeah that sux man, good luck though. Hopefully you can get into that music class, i took one my freshman year for my fine art credit and enjoyed it for the most part. hopefully you have to take the perspective in fine arts class, that one just doesn't sound like it could possibly be interesting. Keep at it though!
