A bit overwhelmed
Sep. 2nd, 2005 01:37 am I don't think I consciously realized this when I signed up for classes.
I'm taking 3 (or possiblly 4) writing intensive classes. One of those is a history of Romani, where we actually learn Romani, in addition to writing papers. One is the history of French Film, which includes film screenings every Tuesday. One is the visual history of the American West (up to 1880) that hasn't met yet, because it's a 3 hr lecture from 7 - 10 pm every Tuesday. The other is Suicide in Janese literature, and I may actually feel closer kinship with those authors in the near future.
The one class that isn't a writing class? 2nd Year Japanese. You know, just, um, because, it's my major.
Translation: What the hell was I thinking?
Ow. I may not be around much any more. At least not for a couple of months. I'm almost afraid this course schedule will make Summer look easy. And on Tuesdays I'm in class from 11 am - 10 pm. With a half an hour break at noon.
At least every class is actually *interesting* as hell.

I'm going to look and see if there's anything else open in the Romani time slot, but if there isn't I'm going to bite the bullet and see if I can't do it. I mean, it's not like I'm a EE major or anything! I can do this stuff! *grin*
