Are You Experienced?

Greetings All!
Yes I know it has been awhile since I have updated you on my college experiences. Sorry for the long delay..here it is....
Well, if you last remember, I last said that I would hope to have more changeling classes this semester...well ok maybe it will happen next semester. The one class that I fell in love with is my mythology class. LOVE IT! Now everything I see or do I relate to Zeus. And I am saying things like 'and lo' and 'alas' it my everyday speech...that and an art class are my only exceptions...the two that left rather frustrated (Music Cultures and Religion) where not as invigorating as I had hoped. My Religion class is more like a Starbucks chat room...a lot of stuff to think about but nothing that I am really learning.
Which led me to think - do I know everything? I mean - what really I am suppose to be learning or I am just seeking the BA to put on my resume and bump my salary? Sure I will learn a language (French next Fall) and I will know some dates and time periods about art history - but what am I expecting to walk out of KNOWING - that I have not learned from my (or my friends') experiences already? I am not dismissing the need (desire) for a college education nor am I saying I know everything - but I wonder what I am going to come out knowing that I did not experience/see/learn before? I think that is one (of the many) differences I am aware of as a 'Senior' on campus...that college is an experience but not for someone who already is experienced?...follow?
A few weeks ago some student threaten to do 'something' to the school on a particular day. The whole school was on lockdown. There was talk of snipers of the top of buildings - everyone needed to show ID..police were everywhere. I thought it was rather interesting listening to some students...quite a few were quite worried..some did not show - some classes were canceled. I not belittling the situation - especially nowadays (these times are a far cry from midnight bomb threats at a Freshman female Quad) - but more than a few times I heard students assume their safety on campus - even with the craziness that had happened on campuses just in the past year. Now maybe my East Oakland and DC living kicked in - but I was not fazed..I showed my ID let them check my bag I went on my merry way. Maybe this is an extreme example - but I refused to let someone freeze my world. (NOTE: they found/traced the person who wrote the threat...all I could think about was his parents - Damn - can you imagine that phone call?).
One of my teacher shared that the grades did not matter - that after she worked so hard to maintain her A average - no one asked her about that after she graduated. It did not make a difference in the jobs she sought or were offered. She reminded us to focus on the experience not the outcome (this is from my Religion class)...to remember that what we DO more than who we ARE (hey maybe I am learning something - or maybe just being reminded).
Anyway finals are coming up...I should be studying...See you in the Fall!

P.S. But I was rewarded with a 2500.00 scholarship through the School of the Arts - very encouraging
