For all of you juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, third quarter is ending, and forth quarter is beginning. This means signing up for new classes! You have all your necessary and super boring classes already set before you get the colorful paper with every course offered, but you need to fill just one more period, and you just don't know which one is blow-off-i-est.
Chorus and band shouldn't be chosen as blow offs. As fun as they may be, business is business.
P.E. would be a good choice, but you just can't kick back and relax when you desperately need to.
No core class spinoffs obviously. Those end up requiring work.
Art is the obvious choice. It's the only one left. But which one? There's so many. Well, general art is fun, but its just not specific enough. One day you're drawing, the next you're painting. You have to be good at everything! That's stressful. So, being more specific, you could take drawing. Drawing is more specific and the magnificent pictures hanging in the hallway make me wanna grab a pencil and jump in, but then I realize I'm a horrible drawer. And drawing bad pictures does not relax me.
So only one choice remains and that is ceramics. I took a leap of faith this year (actually i could only choose from two classes and ceramics was one of them and music history was the other). And what a leap it was! It's the most enjoyable class i've taken all year. Kick back, talk to friends, and keep your hands just busy enough that there's no need for sleep. The perfect class period. It's very difficult to make a bad fish. I tried. It turned out magnificent. Best fish I've ever seen beside Fudge's. But how can you beat a fish with a cowboy hat and a fu manchu. You can't. Ceramics also teaches you to be humble.
So when it comes to that extra class. Ceramics is the best.
