So now I have been back in school for almost a week. I've had both of my courses and have started the homework/reading assignments due next week. I'm still excited to be back in school, but after a monday that lasted from 9am to 10pm (this does not include my commute) it's lost a bit of it's euphoria.
I am taking two Master's of Arts Management (MAM) courses at GMU. The first is "Board Members Management." This course explores the realtionship between Board Member volunteers and the staff, specifically the arts director and executive director. It's an interesting course. We are going to be studying various cases throughout the semester. I'm intrigued, as I have never had to deal with a Board. I think I'll learn alot from this, and the reading is also very managable. Thankfully.
The second course is Art's Policy. Now this course has the potential to be great. I couldn't get a real feel for it in the first session, but I'm hoping for the best. So far the reading is a bit repetative, each of the 4 articles are pretty much saying the same thing. Arts are important for a culture, and are protected in our constitutional rights. That's great, but anyone who has ever dealt with the arts and actually sat down to think about it could have figured that out. I'm hoping it'll improve, afterall it is the first week.
The hardest part of this is definatly going to be sitting still and paying attention to a lecture for 3 hours per class.

3 hours at a time is crazy long (or so I've always thought). My attention span doesn't last longer than about 3 minutes these days, so I wish you all the best of luck!
