April is the cruelest month
I registered for spring courses today, after spending a goodly amount of time juggling times and trying to rearrange everything around the English class, which was only offered at one time. Afterwards, I was forced to attend an hour-long session on suicide prevention, but I digress. My courses, even though a lot of them don't go towards my majors and are only there to fill some sort of college requirement, are pretty awesome. I'm taking nineteen hours of them, so they'd better be.

Honors 102: Medieval/Renaissance Worlds
MWF, 10-10:50
I've become used to my honors class being the sort of course where, when I debate whether I should do the work for it or not, I generally end up sitting around in my underwear and eating saltines instead of reading. Hopefully, next semester will follow suite.

English 233: Literature and Identities
MWF, 11-11:50
This class gave me more trouble than it'll probably be worth. It was only offered at one time, so I had to rearrange my entire schedule around it, and knowing my luck, it'll just end up being a study on how the working class in rural 1930's Appalachia were impacted by their surroundings in literature.

French 201: Intermediate French
MWF, 1-1:50
Someday, I'm planning on going to France, and when I do, I'm sure I'll think: 'god, I'm so glad I spent all that time in college learning to say "when I was young, I believed in the Easter bunny (Quand j'etais petite, je cru en le lapin de Paques)."

Entomology 110: Intro to Insect Biology
TR, 9:30-10:45
I have to take four natural science classes, and I've always been a fan of bugs, so this seemed like the best option. Surely insects can't be much more complex than the whole 'head, abdomen, thorax' and six legs thing? Maybe we'll spend a lot of time on the ladybugs that have been swarming the campus en masse recently.

Art History 106: Renaissance through Modern Art
TR, 12:30-1:45
After this, no more art history (at the lower level, anyway) ever again! There's a point where dissecting a piece of art turns it into more of a science than a visceral experience, and there's also a point where I just am very, very bad with dates.

Women's Studies 200: Intro to Women's Studies
TR, 2-3:15
Angry feminist class! I'm sure we'll read a lot of Andrea Dworkin and learn about how marriage is essentially legalized slavery, and I'll get in trouble and fail for making jokes about women and stoves. It fulfills my sociology requirement, and I'm always up for a class that makes me feel like I'm entitled to things just for existing. Seriously though, this is the class I'm most excited about.

Art 191: Art Professions
F, 12-12:50
Official nap class. I have to take, what, seven of these to graduate with a BFA? Fifty percent of the grade is attendance, which says a lot about the kind of strenuous work I put into it. The only bad thing about it is that it means on fridays I'll be in class continuously from ten 'till two.


I'm also taking a winter course in introductory logic, which, once I appeal my standing in Statistics, should fulfill my logic requirement. I'm going to hate taking it from ten in the morning until three in the afternoon over winter break, but I think I'd hate it more taking it for an entire semester. I'm starting to get sick of the classes I have now, but at least the semester is about three-fourths over. Anyway, time to finish tonight's French homework (food terms!) and write a paper about how Aeschylus uses plant imagery in 'The Oresteia' to convey the progression of lawlessness to justice in ancient greek society.
