I had the best of intentions for today. I still do. It's early yet, I could do something worthwhile. I didn't get my books until just a few minutes ago, although I was on campus by 8:30. I spent an hour in my boss's office drinking coffee (which didn't wake me up) and looking over next semester's catalogue. (She got her copy extra early, apparently.)
Anyway, I think I planned out a fairly decent schedule. Survey of English Lit II, Myth in Literature (for my Major requirements of course), US History (For my GE requirement. My last one! Woo!), Core 305: Literacy (for um, my core requirement) and Grammar and Syntax for Professional Writers. This is for my Creative WRiting minor. It's a 315 level class but it really looks like something I could sleep though. My work/school schedule for next semster will basically be the same as it is now, so that's good. I have 17 units again. That's not so good.
I wanted to take a lighter load next semester, but what can you do? I also want to be one of the few people who graduate in 4 years instead of 5. I'm pissed though because none of the classes I wanted to take are being offered next semester. how the hell am I supposed to finish this damn major if none of the damn classes are being offered? For example, I wanted to take Shakespeare in Film before I take Shakespeare because according to everybody, Shakespeare is the hardest class I will take in the English department. I wanted to transition into it--I've never studied Shakespeare before. I guess my plan will still work if I can take it next fall and then take Shakespeare the spring semester of my Sr year. I also really, really wanted to take a writing workshop next semester so I could continue to, you know, work on my writing. :( Maybe I can get that class directed study like my Advanced Writing...that would be cool, though disruptive to my whole schedule...
Ok, I need to stop procrastinating and start writing damnit! But it just seems so much easier to write on Friday...of course, I also need to read these books. Maybe I'll settle in my boss's office and start reading. It's usually quiet in there. and her chair is comfortable.
