On my way to the internet cafe, I overheard a bit of conversation of a couple passing me on the sidewalk. They seemed to be talking about college classes... the male was suggesting that the female take something real easy - "like, take an art class or something..." to improve her GPA.

Huh.

Art is easy. Wow. Granted, for people for whom is is a passion, it's easier to do because of the passion, enjoyment, fulfillment, etc. But it's not easy, it's not automatic. I guess it bugged me because it was so easily dismissed as superfluous, unimportant. A joke. Not that it should be dead serious, but....

If it were that easy, wouldn't everybody be doing it?

Hm. Easy, indeed.
