Talkin' About English Classes, Usin' A Physics Icon, DOUBLE MAJORS WHOO
1. Take a class with a professor that you've heard will cancel classes with no warning, at the drop of a hat.
2. Same professor cancels the first two days of class.
3. EXTRA VIDEO GAMES.
So I just spent way too long writing two hand-cramping pages of notes for an assignment that the teacher openly said she may not even collect on, so yeah, the semester has begun. The classes I'm taking so far look good (well, the ones that haven't been canceled). I mean, one (the one I just wrote all those notes for) is taught by my favorite teacher at SHSU so it's not surprising I'm excited for that one. And another, "Shakespeare II: Comedies & Romances", I know I'll be okay for because I've read literally all of the plays we're discussing, but I'm a little worried because... okay, the professor seems awesome? And I have heard nothing but great things about him? But I am apprehensive that he will not be as receptive to me going "TWELFTH NIGHT IS LIKE A BIG BAG OF GAY" as well as my last professor did when I did that? (Because that last professor, during my first year of Real College when I was eighteen, said, "...Yes. Yes it is. Why don't you think you should write your essay on that again?" and promptly CHANGED MY LIFE.)
And I do not know why I'm apprehensive, really! I mean, last semester when I was writing my term paper for the aforementioned Favorite Professor at SHSU and was all, "And there's one segment of my analysis that's discussing a homoerotic reading of the text, which I could seriously write the whole essay about but don't worry I won't (oh god you're gonna tell me to take that part out, I know it)", she was all, "Wait, why won't you just write your whole essay on that? It sounds like a much more interesting paper," and I was all, "<3!" So it's not like I haven't been surprised before! But still.
WORDS, HERE ARE MORE WORDS. WORDS EVERYWHERE, WORDS IN YOUR CEREAL.
