Is 12 Hours Too Much?

I'm questioning the wisdom of taking 12 hours this semester as opposed to 9. Perhaps I was delusional when I asked the law professor if I could get into the Art & Museum law class. What do I know about law? Not much. Getting a good enough score on the LSAT to get into Washburn Law School doesn't count for much. Luckily I'm friends with a lawyer who I can call and bug with my random questions.
My philosophy class is a new experience for me. Somehow I managed to get through two undergrad degrees without having to take a philosophy course. Of course, Aristotle and I are close, and I did read some other philosophers last spring in theatre history, but I'm not on a first name basis with them. I have to write three papers for this class. Having never written a philosophy paper before I approach this task with some trepidation. The prof assures me that it won't be as traumatic as I think it will. We'll see.
Loving the film and lit class, even if it is an evening class once a week. We're discussing Latina/Latino cinema this semester. I'm excited to explore this area of film. Have to write in this class too, but we get to do a project which has the potential to be great fun. I may become a filmmaker after this semester - watch out Hollywood - LOL!
Advocacy has been interesting as well. I am getting tired of writing a response paper twice a week though. Yes, there's a theme this semester - writing - and lots of it! My hand may never be the same. If I make it through this semester without a breakdown I'm having a drink or two or three. :)
And, I'm TAing in an arts appreciation class and working in the VRC (visual resource center) in the School of Art. Getting to know people there and learning the ropes. I feel very comfortable and welcomed. Such a nice change from the past two semesters. I'm still dramaturging for "Rabbit Hole" as well, so I'm keeping my hand in the theatre pot. Thankful for the one and a half snow days we had last week. It was nice to spend a bit of time goofing off - won't be much of that going on for a while!
