bedlamsbardDropped Ancient Christianity, and felt much better about the decision when I realized that not only was the textbook misbound (hi, chapters 31 through 33 are not supposed to come immediately after chapter 4), but it was also my most expensive textbook. It's almost like free money! I got almost a hundred dollars back after tax! It's like that happy fluffy feeling you get after selling back textbooks, except without that huge surge of joy because the class is over over over, immediately followed by horror because after spending $500 on textbooks at the beginning of the semester you only get $12.25 back.
Somewhat amusingly, Antebellum American Lit was in the same classroom that I had Brit Lit I in last year. I'm starting to think there are only, like, three classrooms in this whole school. It looks like it ought to be a good class -- the prof's teaching style looks like it meshes much better with my learning style than my last English prof's. Questions! I like having to analyze the text and come up with questions and discuss! That's how I learned to learn in high school; my last prof was one of the ones that has an idea, sticks to it like a dog with a bone, and will hear no disagreement. I wrote a lot of porn in that class. You know how it is.
Later today, Russian Revolution. I am mostly worried about how I'm going to survive a two and a half hour seminar. *crosses fingers*
But now, I still have three hours till then. I could try and relearn Japanese, or do my reading for Intro to Gender and Sexuality Studies, or my reading for Arab/Israeli Conflict, or start in on Emerson...
*pause* I see I have no lack of things to do. (I'm not kidding about the relearning Japanese, BTW. I don't retain anything from that language.)
