(no subject)
Ah, yes. Back to that one semester I have before Deutschland. My first week's not quite done, but I can honestly say that I'm enjoying each of my classes so far, even if they're all in that slow, beginning of the year stage.
I'm taking...
GERM 3082: 18th c German Literature (class conducted auf Deutsch)
GERM 2075: German Civilization (class conducted auf Englisch)
HIST 4046: 19th c Britain
POLI 2057: Intro to International Politics
Yes, only 12 hours. I've figured out that I can still graduate in May 2009 even when only taking 12 hours a semester. I might have two 15 hour semesters during my last term, depending on what courses are offered and how much independent study I'll need for thesis research.
Back to this semester (I need to stop leaping ahead and focus on the present)...
GERM 3082 is taught by Dr. P, whom I had for GERM 2102 and like very much. I'll be honors-optioning this course by writing an expanded essay (expanding, that is, on our big Referat/Essay project for the year) on Gottfried August Bürger.
GERM 2075 is taught by my thesis advisor and the head of APA. He's a very interesting man, raised in West Germany during the time period in which my thesis will be focused. I need to narrow my scope a bit, but he really likes my idea and says that it's something I should easily be able to work into a masters thesis (only a bit more expanded than my honors thesis) and eventually a dissertation.
Not much to say about the other two courses yet. I've got to get to work now. Hope everyone has a great long weekend!
