I hear tell that faculty can take classes at VC for free.  Need to check in with HR about how this works.  I’m going to compile the list of classes that catch my eye here.

• PHED 1110: Self Defense (currently can’t take it because it’s TR evening)
• COSC 1437: Programming Fundamentals II (Java) (Mon/Wed evening fits schedule, may be a lot of commitment for fall though)
• MUSI 1182: Class Piano (only offered in Spring semesters apparently, darn)
• MUSI 2181: Class Piano Part 2 (offered in Fall semesters, could follow up part 1)
• EMT Certification (can’t seem to find easy info on class registration, may be through a different system)
• ARTS 1316: Drawing I and ARTS 1317: Drawing II (currently conflict with work)
• ARTS 2346: Ceramics I (Mon/Wed evening fits schedule, may be a lot of commitment)
• PHED 1119: Weight/Fitness training (works well in schedule but may conflict with Quidditch)
• (there’s also a morning edition of PHED 1119 this fall but 9:25AM on my long days sounds like no fun at all)

There’s also the issue that I am considering getting my Masters in Kinesiology online (possibly at UT Tyler) which would squeeze the time, but I’m not planning on starting that until Fall 2016 at the earliest so I have the next academic year to try some stuff.

Currently leaning towards the programming class (though that may be in jeopardy depending on how many units/etc we get for free…)

*UPDATE*: It does indeed look like I can take one class (even a lecture/lab combo) for free, but I’m now concerned about time for exercise and for Quidditch.

I still want to run weekly Quidditch in the fall, which means leaving either Monday or Wednesday afternoon open in some way (probably Wednesday?) which makes the afternoon PE workout class a bit risky.  Conversely, if I leave the afternoons open and take the programming class in the evenings of Mon/Wed, it puts any exercise routine at severe risk (and also makes virtually impossible any way to practice martial arts).
