Academic SPAZZING

(I have five million e-mails and comments in my inbox that I swear I will respond to at some point very soon. I'm not ignoring anyone, I promise! Just trying to get some work done on my essay and getting distracted by every little thing...)

So the class list for next year is up, and I'm procrastinating looking at it so I can be prepared to pick out classes next week. There's a 400-level History seminar on Victorian Culture and Society. Eeeeee! Add that to Browning's History of Ireland course, Klein's History of English course (it's actually in the English department) and Advanced Poetry or Intro to Anglo-Saxon (depending on if I get into Poetry) and I have my class schedule figured out without even looking beyond the English and History departments. (Well, and there's Community Choir, but that's a given.) Although I wonder if all that Old Stuff might not get really annoying after a while...and maybe I should take some kind of not-quite-so-reading-intensive class to balance all the history...hmmm... Okay, so maybe I don't have it all figured out yet. But I'm getting there. There's a class on "The American Ghost Town" which sounds really interesting, but it meets during choir and is a yearlong class, and I kind of need to get that last semester of choir so that I can graduate, so never mind. Sigh. Maybe I could take Intro to Soc? Ooooh, and Sergei's teaching a "Hardboiled Crime Fiction" senior seminar. I think I might need to take that. And Kinsella's doing the Poetry Manuscript preparation...I wonder if I could take that instead of Advanced Poetry? I wonder if they'll put the descriptions of the courses, as well as their titles, online at some point, too. Or perhaps I could go bug someone like, oh, laserhead... ;)

*looks at spring semester* EEEEEEEE!!! Courtney Brkic is teaching Advanced Fiction! OMG, I MUST TAKE THIS CLASS!!! *bounces all over the room* *wants to start working on submission right now* And Scott's teaching a Jazz Age history course. OMG!

*bouncing around the room* I think I watched too many cartoons today. I'm a little "looney" and "merrie," as it were. And how much do I love that watching Bugs Bunny & Co. for two hours this morning was considered "research"? Heh.
