Sigh
August 18 2006
So, I went to a lot of trouble to sign up for my Intro to Lit Studies class. I had to go get special permission for it and everything. Then today, I went to Phillip's to look at the books for this class, only to realize that this class is going to be pretty darn awful. One of the books we're required to read is called Literary Theory. Oh, and if that isn't bad enough, there's The Dictionary of Literary Symbols! What the mess?! I just want to read novels and short stories! Anyhow, and this is the only English class required for my minor, and I'm noticing that the other teachers aren't as hardcore as mine. The only other class that fits into my schedule with a good teacher is currently closed (mine's new so I didn't know he was going to be like this!), and what really ticks me is if I had found this out yesterday instead of tody, I could have woken up really and snagged a spot whenever the purging was going on. But no, I just found out and it's closed.
I do have the option of dropping this class instead of my Tennessee History class that I have been meaning to drop for an eternity, but I soooo want to take English and not history. When I didn't have English last semester I had withdrawls from it! I'm an English nerd, but I am not down with literary symbols and junk. I just want to read some happy stories and write papers about them. I've tried looking into other English classes but they are few and far between. Here's what's left: classes I'm not interested or bad teachers! Or it's at an awful time... my 2030 teacher, for example, whom I love very much, is teaching a class that sounds alright... too bad it's on Wednesday nights! Bleh! Anything else that sounds interesting and has a good teacher is closed or interferes with what is otherwise a perfectly lovely schedule that I have. I'm sad though because I really wanted to take this class with my good friend Jolene.
Maybe this class would be good because it would help me with other classes I take in the future. I dunno... maybe. I'm just kinda confused, and the countdown to school is pretty darn soon.
On a happier note, Aimee's Cracker Barrel get-together was tons of fun. I put up about 38 pictures from it up on Facebook, and you should go comment on them.
