Hiya!
Since I've been back (and the intention and purpose of my blog was solely supposed to be for studying abroad,) I've not written anything here nearly as often as I should've.
My new semester back in Wisconsin has begun and is going well thus far. I am taking several delightful classes. I say it this way because I've not yet had all of them. I go to my 4th and final class tomorrow, so my decision on how this semester will go shall be determined tomorrow by about 4PM, when class ends.
The class list is as follows:
LIS631 Young Adult Literature (this is a grad class for the School of Library and Information Studies department that I've applied to for the Fall. It's quite nice getting to take a grad class before I even get into the program. Kind of like testing a car you already know you want to buy.)
ENG695 Directed Study Creative Writing (this is where I start writing my first BOOK! I'm utterly scared and thrilled. It'll be a lot of work, but I look forward to it)
FOLK451 Supernatural in the Modern World (a folklore class, exploring ghosts, demons, etc., and people's beliefs)
LITINTRANS275 Hans Christian Andersen (I'm most excited about this class; it'll be my "easy A" class!)
And there you have it, the nice layout. The schedule itself isn't bad either. I have one class Mondays and Tuesdays and two classes Wednesdays and Thursdays. Fridays is strictly for studying. Well, that and MERIT supervisor meetings, all staff meetings, etc. Mandatory issues. I will be working a lot this semester (23ish hours/week), similar to the amount of my fall semester (28-34 hours/week), however, I reason it this way: last semester I had ALL English classes, was taking a heavier load than graduate students getting their MFAs, working A LOT, and yet I still managed to earn myself that nice, shiny "4.0". So, *cheers* to getting it right again this year.
Only other thing that could make this already lovely semester even lovelier would be man candy. I say this jokingly, but the feelings are real. So many of my friends are already engaged. I realize I'm not in a race, and I fully accept that, but I would really, truly like to fall in love. Soon. =)
Well, if anyone is out there and still reading this, I hope you enjoyed a random little snippet of my life as I procrastinate from doing my grad pre-homework (yeah, the kind of homework you get before even having the class once...it comes to me in the form of reading 4 articles and 1 full-length novel! Can you tell what my semester will be like?!).
