Scheduling, scheduling...
Oct. 25th, 2003 01:02 pmSo now that I know I got into the fiction class, I can schedule the rest of my classes. Yay! Here's the plan for next semester, contingent upon getting into each of these classes, of course:
ENGL 200 - Intro Fiction
RUSS 350 - Russian Literature in Translation
GERM 381 - Faust and Faust Legends in Translation
HIST 235 - France in Modern Times (yes, I realize this is my fourth 200-level history class, but the only 300-level they have is Practice & Theory, and there are all of two 400-levels, so...yeah. Doesn't really matter, since I'm not majoring in it and they don't have a minor--believe me, if they did, I'd be all over it. But one of the 400-levels is taught by a Professor Crais. Hee.)
MUSC 483 - Musical Theatre & Opera Workshop
So I manage to have three English-y classes while still only taking one within the English department proper, so go me with the satisfying out-of-major credit requirements. Woo! (My advisor says that since I'll get six classes' worth of English at Exeter next year, I really can't take more than one next semester.)
Not incredibly wild about the opera workshop thing, but I can't take choir next semester 'cause it meets at the same time as fiction. :( I really just like singing in choir so much better than doing a solo in a cabaret-type thing. The best part about music is harmony and counter-melody, IMO. At least the opera part is mostly vaguely choral stuff. I also have to try out for this thing. Granted, it isn't hugely popular, for whatever reason, but still. Meep. However, I need that last quarter credit of music to graduate, so...
And for next year...I'm looking at what's being offered in the English school at Exeter this year. If they offer them next year, and I can get into them/take them/schedule them correctly, I'm all over Arthurian Lit., a Thomas Hardy class, and something called "Contemporary Cultures: Britain 1979 to the Present," and hopefully a British History class, since I'm passing up Reed Browning's BritHist next semester. Hey, if I'm in the country already, might as well take classes in what they know best... ;) Although I'd love to take American lit. or history from a British perspective. Somehow I don't think the Revolutionary War would be talked about in quite the same terms as it is over here. ;)
*peruses more*
Ooh. They have a class in screenwriting. Okay, maybe my plans will change... *drools*

Ah, I studied Faust for a little while in Dr. Adam's German class. It seemed very cool, but no doubt will be much more interesting when you can read it in *English* rather than the original German. *shudders*
I so can't wait until you go to Exeter. Granted, you'll be way down at the bottom of England, and I'll be up in Scotland (at least St. Andrews is much closer to the border than where I am now!) but we'll be sharing the same landmass! Woo-hoo!
Ten bucks says the universe will implode the second your plane lands, dude... ;)

Heh. All I know is that The Phantom of the Opera is derived from those legends. Woo-hoo!

Yaaaay! And since you people have airlines that'll fly you around Europe for, what, £25 a trip, and I'll have about six weeks of vacation where I can go anywhere I want...expect me to come visit you. And drag you around Europe with me. ;)
