My schedule for next semester is working itself out! I am still waitlisted for Shakespeare, but the prof's pretty lenient on letting people in during the new semester and he knows me, so that shouldn't be a problem, and although I'm not technically registered for my medieval religious culture tutorial, I am in! And I got the problem with Latin sorted out, so I am registered for that too! Which means that right now I am signed up for the following classes:

LATN 1020: Intermediate Latin (trufax: first class I will ever have at university taught by a grad student)
CLAS 3120: Etruscans and Early Rome
ENLS 3010: Children's Literature
COLQ 4013: Honors Thesis Boot Camp (no, really, that's what it's called)
HISE 3420: Age of Reformation
ENLS 4470: Shakespeare II (Jacobean) (waitlisted)
HISA 4020: Medieval Religious Culture

If I was taking Ancient Christianity or Greek and Roman Religions, I would totally call this semester the Semester I Found Religion, but I am not.

To everyone that commented on my grad school freakout post: thank you. I will attempt to reply to comments as I think on Certain Things.

(I know you don't want to study outside the USA, but I've found a couple of Classics MAs from the UK which include languages. So. If you want the information...)

Sure, throw 'em at me.

University of Birmingham. (I think the table on this one is borked, as they have the Roman History and Archaeology people learning Ancient Egyptian.)

University of Bristol

Royal Holloway (And I think that the University of London as a whole will have more.)

University of Reading.

(clanwilliam will know more, but she's off swanning around the torture chambers of Vienna...)

Oooh, Medieval Religious Culture sounds cool.

I am very excited about it! It's taught tutorial style, so the prof was only letting nine-twelve students in -- several groups of three students each; each week one student will write a paper based on the reading, and the other two students will respond, and then there will be a DISCUSSION.

a- the phrase honors thesis boot camp makes me giggles uncontrollably.
b- my mom says the semester of children's lit she took was the most useful class ever and she ended up being an english major later on in life.
c- whenever i see the word "Jacobean" i get "ye Jacobites by name" stuck in my head. i hope you're happy now.

HONORS THESIS BOOT CAMP.

I'm not sure if I'll end up sticking with Children's Lit, but we'll see! Easier reading than the other classes, at least.

Heh!
