Today I discovered that I am much happier when being productive. I walked to campus and figured out some English/Rhet stuff. It cheered me up immensely
( Read more... )
I chose the first option, but that is based on my opinion that school is like a prision and taking extra classes is earning yourself a reduced sentence for good behavior. Other people may think differently.
heeeeeeeeeeyyy i am in town right now. do you and nicole and some other peopel wanna hang out? or i mean, can i invite myself over to your thing? i havent seen you in over a year atleast and would like to befoe you head off to the UK.
It turns out there isn't going to really be a thing since the departure is coming so soon and I have such a ridiculous amount of stuff to do (I thought I had things squared away!). It'd be cool to hang out for a bit, though. Do you know when you and possibly Nicole would be free?
i'm taking 5 classes right now, two of which are 400 level, and so far they seem okay? it helps that i read a LOT of books over the summer, so i can take things easier.
i absolutely love reading. the main thing i'm worried about are the papers. have you had to write any papers yet? i took a 300 level class last semester and dropped it because it sucked and because the teacher said that my interpretation was wrong. that irritated me. but i also didn't do very well on my first paper (partially because my interpretation was "wrong") and that has made me wary of 300 and 400 level classes.
300 F Queer Literature with Somerville. So far seems like a decent course. There's a lot of Foucault theory and Sex and the City.
(does 300 count as advanced level? i certainly hope so)
429 18th C. Fiction with Markley. he's my favorite this year. laid back and witty. the popular sex-among-rich-people fiction class.
435 19th C. British Fiction with Nazar. i like her too. she's very formal and talkative, which is nice too. she's not the kind of person to say you are interpreting austen wrongly, i think. some people said some actually incorrect facts about the plot and she very politely tried to find ways that their comments worked. and that was with facts, not open to interpretation arguments!
oh, and that 251 class i took was with R. Watkins. BLAH TO THAT, but yay reading delillo novels.
(i did not list her first name because i was afraid that one day she would google herself and find this)
I said full time first 2 semesters, then take it easy the last one, you can get a job then as well. I would really focus on the tough classes and get them done before worrying about a job. If you leave a couple of easy classes and just breeze through a final semester you will have more energy to deal with graduating and finding a full time job as well.
i don't know about your advanced level classes, but mine were all classes where if i wrote a 20 page paper on homoeroticism in fight club i'd get an A. don't try to cram all your classes in one semester, i don't think you'd be able to handle it. emmy is a fragile thing. i don't want emmy to die!
