If you could study any new topic


You're given the opportunity take one class from a nearby University on any topic you want for free. You won't be required to take any tests and you don't have to change your career or anything like that. You just are given a free opportunity to learn about one new topic. Which topic would you pick?

Me: Either marine biology or something astronomy-related.

Probably architecture. I get a visceral reaction when I see beautiful buildings & homes - would like to know more about the classifications & history - for example, I love arts & crafts, art deco especially, decorative brick & tile work. Hate flat brick wall facings with no adornment. Kansas City has some great housing stock, going up during the early 20th century, when architecture was in a prime state of beauty, even for industrial buildings.

I find older architecture to be fascinating and I'm always sad when I see older buildings being torn down in the downtown area of my city to be replaced by something that looks like a warehouse. I think architecture would be very interesting to study, too!

Ancient Rome

reply

That would be interesting! I went through a phase where I was fascinated with ancient Greece and Rome and I've got pictures and decorative items all over my house that reflect that even still.

Wow, very cool!

Funny you said that, I just read a book about Ancient Rome.

Nice.

IS NAKED WOMEN A CLASS?...BECAUSE I WANT TO LEARN ABOUT THEM.

You could take one of those art history classes where they show pictures of lots of naked people. Just peruse the university's course catalog under "most boobies per credit hour".

reply

AWESOME.

If you take "Figure Drawing" they stand a nude woman in the center of the room so you can draw her.

What? You mean like doing an autopsy?

NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND....HOWEVER...I WOULD BE OPEN TO THAT.πŸ€”

reply

The history of Science Fiction

It's hard to choose one. I'm always excited about new things. I chose this class because it interests me and it would be difficult for me to study it on my own.

reply

GOOD ONE...I WOULD TOTALLY TAKE THAT CLASS....AND ANNOY YOU THE WHOLE TIME I IMAGINE.πŸ˜‰

reply

Oh right, you love fantasy.

There are many nude characters in science fiction, so I understand the appeal.

Although I am looking more for science fiction books.

I'm warning you in advance, I won’t let you copy my answers on the test.

reply

NO WORRIES...I HAVE THE ANSWERS WRITTEN ON MY FOOT....JUST GOTTA POP MY SHOE OFF AND...B+ HERE WE COME.🦢🏻

reply

That sounds like it would be an interesting class! I like science fiction stories. πŸ‘πŸΌ

reply

Having given it a lot of thought, I’m going with the art of film making.
