Guys, I am so over Western European medieval history. Bring on the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe! Probably easier to find teaching jobs in those fields anyway.
Of course, this completely coincides with me reorganizing my proposed schedule for next semester, and there's not much reorganizing I can do, since my one goal is to take fewer classes than this semester. (Goddamn Latin, messing up my schedule; I wish Latin counted for MEMS as well as Classics. And yes, Latin will still be a problem even if I take 101 -- well, 151 -- at Central this summer.)
...okay, let's see:
( life is hard, y'all )
*wails* I just don't know what to take! It was all perfectly planned out before (a) today's realization that Western Europe is overrated and (b) the adorable Pompeii professor! Advice? Thoughts? Those of you in grad school or in the field want to weigh in on what's advisable to take in preparation?
ETA: It looks like some of these classes might fill up before I register, so that's -- a good thing?
ETA2: Am watching the course listings website and watching classes go out of contention -- Children's Lit is already full, holy shit. Which means I might be able to get into the Peloponnesian and Punic Wars, which only has four slots left...
Things that amuse me: one of my friends, who's an English lit and Gender and Sexuality Studies major, is having the hardest time filling her second requirement for pre-18th century literature, because she hates it a lot. They have since changed the major requirements, but she declared before then. She hates pre-18th century; that is about all I read. *highly amused*
