That's an interesting question. It's part of my scheme to tackle all fields of knowledge, I guess. This explains why I took History of East Central Europe and persisted despite my evident inability to comprehend the material. And also why I want to take:
A) Computer Science despite my relative lack of interest in its pedagogic value (reason why: because it is essential in today's world; many scientists - especially structural biologists and biophysicists - have to use the Linux operating system and I feel like an idiot if I don't know how to).
B) Photography despite the horrifyingly long hours that I'll need to invest in the class (10 hours spent in the dark room developing the photos; but I guess it'll provide me with time for reflection, and contemplation.
C) Introduction to World Religions: because I am ignorant. At the Jewish Center this afternoon, I was involved in an intense discussion about Islam (speaking of which, I attended a very fascinating talk by Professor Rabie two days ago; I highly recommend his website http://yazour.com/english/cv.asp), Judaism and Christianity. I need to know more.
D) Either Greek or Roman Art and Architecture, because Greece and Rome are the hotbeds of human civilization and modern culture. That sentence was terrible as it's too general. After the class, I'll presumably sound more intelligent when I attempt to talk about this. Ask me about that next year!
What about you? Let's inspire each other!
