Good news!
Apr. 16th, 2009 08:45 pmApparently I am a GIANT DORK and only just now realized that I have to take just two courses next year, not three. That means I can drop or audit one of the two I signed up for next semester! HOORAY!
Of course, now the question becomes...which do I keep? I still need another 600-level course, which would argue for the George Eliot seminar (so I won't be leaving that requirement to my last semester), but I'm very intrigued by the 500-level poetry criticism course--which would also be applicable to my thesis. Hmm. Decisions, decisions...
(Also, YAAAAAAY I'M NOT GOING TO GO CRAZY NEXT SEMESTER YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY.)

Date: 2009-04-17 01:56 am (UTC)The crazy last month is the best part of the semester! Everyone's loopy and strange. One of my classes yesterday involved a student composer claiming her next piece was going to have a percussion part for cow tongue. Then we decided we should use my students to determine whether or not tone-deafness was related to our ability to detect predators (or prey) by sending wildebeasts after my kids who can't sing. It's good times!
I...actually liked Adam Bede.
BAH
And this class is Eliot in context
BAH
which means lots of fun Victorian philosophy and science and cultural artifacts and whatnot.

BAH
Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. *draws hearts around Victorian stuff*
