Today has just been absolutely crazy. I work from 8-12, then have class
from 1-5:30, then work again from 6-10. Although, I’m going to drop my
1:00 class. Not that I don’t think I’d like it; I would like it. It’s
The English Novel, and the course is focusing on Gothic novels. It
would have been really cool; the only problem is, I don’t think I’ll
have time for it. I’m taking Shakespeare and Living With Plants and
Computers and the Humanities already (we’re learning Quark XPress and
Photoshop), and today I added a class to replace the one I dropped
yesterday. There’s only one problem. The class I dropped yesterday was
only .5 credit hours. The class I added today was 3 credit hours. That
put me at 15.5 credit hours, and that’s not counting the editing
internship I was planning on doing with the Collegiate Post. This class
is so cool though. It’s an Honors Program class, and even though I’m
not in the Honors Program, I really want to take it. It’s a literature
class, focusing on the poets of the Great War (or World War I, as it’s
now called). It’s being taught by Robert Means, who is the English and
American Literature librarian here. I work rather closely with him,
since I’m an English Major, and he’s an awesome guy and will do a great
job with the class. And this is the only semester it’s being offered,
while the English Novel is offered every semester (although not
necessarily with the same books and teacher; but I would love that
class no matter what books we read as long as there’s at least one
Austen in it ). So if I’m going to drop a class, it’s going to be
that one.
So I think I’m going to do it. What with working 18 hours a week and
all the reading I’m going to have to do for my various English classes,
I’d go crazy with that schedule. And having the extra hour at lunch
will help me get my homework done.
Not to mention the fact that the textbooks for the new class cost me
another $100. If I return all my novels, I’ll be able to afford it.
Hopefully.
