WTF?!
Apparently there is NOW, as in just this semester started, a Medieval and Renaissance Studies minor available at UCF. WTF. Where was this when I still had the time to schedule in the needed classes?! Now I'm stuck with not being able to take the classes and it makes me very sad. Yes, that makes me sad. On the up side though, I have managed to convince my Arthurian lit class teacher to let me unofficially audit his Chaucer lit class next semester as I'm taking another grad class on one of the days it is scheduled for.... >_<
If anyone here has a chance to take classes with Tyson Pugh, you should totally do it. He's awesome and hilarious.
Anyways, this Arthurian class is giving me lots of perverse pleasure in random things....
Flogging Molly "...her legs ran all the way up to Heaven and past Avalon..."
Cheesy 80s flicks such as Sword of the Valiant (pretend it's italicized)
Analyzing said cheesy 80s (and other) flicks in crazy awesome ways such as the above being analogous to mummers' plays
Reading obscure texts from the middle ages
Buying obscure texts from the middle ages (Yay TEAMS!)
Learning Middle English
Two words "Devil Cat" :)
The beginnings of a mild obsession for serpent women
It's kinda sad that it's making me rethink my decision not to go to Vassar for the Medieval program there.... :/ I think I would have really enjoyed it...
Whatever though...this is a crazy time for me right now. I have lots and lots of headaches and crazy confusion on a lot of things... >_<
...but I digress from my initial intention of starting a report that is due tomorrow (no, not procrastination, I just got it assigned yesterday) that I don't particularly want to since I just finished 25 pages of midterm reports... :( Crazy fucking grad class! Any who. I'm am off.
