I found out today that I can't be a triple major. I'm just a couple classes short, due to wrangling between the first two majors. I could, in theory, take 21 hours this semester and a summer course, but really... we'll see. Two majors and a minor isn't so bad... right?
Anyway, i'm really excited about my spanish capstone. The information for it finally went up, and the topic is "Film Adaptation of Spanish and Hispanic Novels". We chat in class, and then have movies on monday nights. I like movies, and books, and most especially books that someone thinks are good enough to be made into movies. The professor is a current/former hippie, so it should be a great experience.
The other spanish class i'm taking, the history of the spanish language, sounds really cool, but i see the list of required books includes a latin book and latin to romance sound charts. This could be really cool, but will probably also require an amazing amount of work. I can't really switch this to an easier class, because the spanish department offers about five classes a semester, and this looks like the best of the bunch. Spanish theater with the crazy women who donates her books to the museum? Another class on modernism with the uptight man who always wears black turtlenecks and gave me a C last semester? or...something called "stylistics" which just sounds scary. Oh well, I may learn how to read latin by the end of it!
Other than that, I'm retaking a stat class, and picking up a last humanity class in the form of "introduction to women's literature". It sounds like a pretty good last semester.
