my views on odyssey

The past two days have been a cultural blur for me. Of course, every student likes Odyssey more than their everyday classes but sometimes i can't help but feel like some of the classes are just so ridiculous. Last odyssey i got stuck in dancing wheelchairs. Now i have nothing against the disabled, but it wasn't even people dancing in wheelchairs. It was one handicapped lady and two normal dancers. What is the point of that? There are always those certain classes that everyone fights over to get into, for example this year it was cake decorating. I feel like the only classes that end up being beneficial are those that dip into arts that we haven't been exposed to as well as the ones that we actually all really want to take. It's hard to sit through an hour of something your just really not into. It just ends up making me want to fall asleep the whole time. On the other hand, there are some classes that sound really lame but end up being pretty interesting. For example, this year i somehow ended up in The Art of Alfred Hitchcock, now i know that's random as hell, that's what i said when i first looked at it, but going into the class it was really interesting to hear how much more there really was behind his movies. I had no idea the amount of planning and thought were behind his movies. He spends up to a year just planning one movie, he sits down with (i dont remember the name of the job) but the person who draws the story board and they figure out EVERY shot. That's crazy. He had an idea of how he wanted everything to be done in his films, and if someone didn't agree, it was his way or the highway. I've never even seen an Alfred Hitchcock movie and i was able to appreciate this. Odyssey is a good way to expose people to different things you would never even think twice about, but half the time you get stuck in so many bs classes that its kind of pointless.
