The Yates School of Post-Graduate Studies

This is my very fancy way of announcing that after I graduate (and once life calms down a bit) I am going to compile a list of subjects and begin to seek out as much information about them as I can. And then I will tackle learning about each subject individually, using the library, the internet, and possibly former professors as my resources. 

I’ve realized that in my four years in college, I’ve encountered a lot of subjects that I’ve found fascinating, but haven’t had the time to devote all of my attention to. Just now, as I am faced with only Buddhism and Personal Finance finals left, I suddenly have boatloads of time to gingerly and lovingly soak up all of the information, and I’m learning far more in this manner than I would trying to cramcramcram it all into my brain (my choice study method, ever since high school).

Here is a sneak-peek at the prospective curriculum:

• Greek Mythology
• The Renaissance
• Shakespeare’s Sonnets
• Mediterranean Cooking
• Astrology
• Silent Films
• Beginner’s French and Greek
• The Great Classical Composers

And I will try to revisit Positive Psychology, Women’s Studies, Philosophy and Buddhism, which I took as college courses.

And I will start up a new Summer Reading List as well.

And I will edit the hell out of my first short story, so I can try to send it out for publication come September.

Geez, this is already a very busy summer.
