I am sooooooooo excited about my classes. They are as follows:
1.) The Biology of Gender (TTh 9:00 AM - 10:20 AM)
2.) Queer Life and Politics of 20th Century Europe (TTh 1:30 PM - 2:50 PM)
3.) Readings in World Literature (MW 1:30 PM - 2:50 PM)
4.) Self, Culture, and Society (MW 7:00 PM - 8:20 PM)
Yay for having Fridays off from classes to work.
I am especially excited about Queer Life and Politics of 20th Century Europe, although I'm the only 1st year in that class. The prof is amazing, and what we're studying is so groundbreaking, since the "queer history" of Europe is only now being written. Gender studies as a recognized area of specialization is only now taking hold in much of Europe. In America, women's/gender studies departments have been institutionalized within academia since the 1970s.
I never have to take another fucking math class for the rest of my life!!! HOORAH. I will, however, be buried in reading for the rest of my academic existence.
On a less happy note, my bike was stolen within 2 days of my arrival on campus. I knew that something bad was bound to happen to balance out all the good...
