So what has almost turned
So what has almost turned into a disaster for my educational plan has instead turned into something very exciting for me. I was supposed to take Creative Writing and Women's Lit this summer, my last classes to complete my major. But according to the new schedule those classes have been cut. Thank you Governor Schwartzenblacht. So I checked the summer schedule at West Valley College, which is kind of far from me but I had researched them before and knew they offered online courses, and actually I was very interested in one of their Creative Writing teachers. And it turns out that they are offering Creative Writing online this summer, with that particular teacher. Not only that, but this particular Creative Writing class is accepted as transferable to San Jose State University, and my current schools do not have an acceptable Creative Writing class. So I have already faxed over my application to WVC and hopefully I will make it into that class. I was already excited that I was going to take Creative Writing, but the fact that I may get to take it with Ms. Schulter is even more exciting to me. What is so special about Ms. Schulter? Well here is her webpage. Nothing much special, right? She grew up in Los Gatos, studied Music Therapy, got her BA in Creative Writing from UC Santa Cruz, became a teacher's aide for students with learning disabilities, received her MFA at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and went on to teach at several colleges in this area. She's also a classically trained flautist, loves ornithology and likes to hike. Still nothing special, you say? Well here is the web page for Jonca... her guide dog. That's right, she's blind. Blind, teaches college, plays the flute, hikes, studies birds, and teaches online creative writing courses. If that isn't an inspiration to us all, I don't know what is.
