Good morning everybody, today I thought we’d talk about something other than books: school. I’ve managed to read more than I ever have the past few months because I had no prior commitments outside of work. That’s about to change here real soon, classes start in nearly two weeks and I’m too excited for my own good. To be fair, it’s been a good six months since I’ve been gone and I’ve missed it. I thought this would be a perfect time than any to talk about what I’m studying and introduce my plans for new content ideas here on the blog.
I’ll be brief: I’m studying art history. My goal post-grad is to get accepted into a Grad program with a focus in Latinx art and afterwards finish up my PhD. I get asked a lot what I want to do and ideally I’d like to be an art conservator, but there are very few programs here in the states and they’re all really competitive. I’m not saying I’m giving up on this goal but I’m also not ready to pursue it just yet. Even though that’s my dream and always has been my dream I’d be pretty happy working in any capacity with art. Whether that be as a curator or as a professor I know without a doubt I’d enjoy it just as much.
I’m very close to finishing up my degree. I only have a handful of classes left and if I can manage it I should be done by 2020. This semester I am completing some of my General Education requirements at the community college. I don’t have a lot of Gen-Ed’s left to complete so for this semester I’m only taking three classes: Comp. II, Literature by Women and History of the Middle East - and to top things off they’re all conveniently online! After I’ve successfully completed this semester I will be back in the Summer to finish up the last of Gen-Ed and Major requirements that I can at the community college. At least that’s the plan!
With that, I wanted to talk about some of my new ideas for the blog. Since my education is such a big part of my life I thought it only made sense to share more of my academic journey with you all! Especially as it pertains to reading, because I’ve found that some of my required reading whether it be assigned or for my research has been really impactful and worth sharing on here. If you have any ideas for more study related content you want to see on the blog can contact me on Twitter or through my email!
That does it for this week’s post check back next week! Until then, happy reading!
