ADVICE NEED (Or, Sarah Needs A Time Turner)
Okay. So, my registration date is coming up at the end of the month. I will be registering for my FINAL YEAR of Undergrad! Hooray! But as it turns out, I need a time turner to take all the classes I want to take. So, dear readers, I need your advice.
I am FOR SURE taking 4000-Level Critical Theory with Melville because both he and critical theory are awesome.
I am also FOR SURE taking 3901 Queer Lit, Culture, and Theory with Milne (see above reason).
I am also FOR SURE taking 4342 Indiv. Author (Stein) with Schnitzer because it comes so highly recommended.
So far that gives me 9 hours of Honours (all I need) and 6 of upper level, 15 out of a total 18 I have left to do. NOW here is my conundrum:
I REALLY want to take 2185 Literary Communities (Scottish lit) with Burke. It's 3 credit hours in the fall term. We'll be reading Trainspotting among other things. I know some of you haven't had the best experience with Burke but I reeeeally enjoyed my Contemporary British Culture class with him this past year. We get along well and he expressed his hope that I'd be in another one of his classes.
BUT
I also want to take 4740 Topics in Compar. Lit (Joyce) with Rodriguez and Byrnes. It's 6 credit hours over fall/winter. I have never had Byrnes but I've heard he is alternately awesome and curmudgeonly. Rodriguez is a genius and such a great teacher. I feel like Joyce is one of those authors that I *should* be more familiar with than I am, as an English major (I've read Dubliners).
HERE IS MY PROBLEM. In the fall term, these two courses are in the same time slot so I have to choose one or the other. If I take Burke, I'll have the full 30 honours hours no more no less and 120 hours for graduation. I will also only be taking 9 hours of honours and 18 in total which makes for a reasonably light year. If I take Byrnes/Rodriguez, I will be taking 15 hours of honours, surpassing my degree requirement by 6, and 21 hours total, surpassing my grad requirement by 3. This also means I'll be taking 3 courses in fall and 4 in winter, which is the reverse of my usual 4 then 3. But apparently the Stein class makes everything seem more awesome in Winter term. SO. I don't know what to do, friends. I need some guidance!
