Course registration started today. I almost forgot about it completely. I knew registration was the 24th of July but when I'm in the summer months, the date seems largely irrelavant (esp giving my rotating, no certain days of the week off, job)so I'm lucky if I know what day of the week it is, let alone what day of the month. I'm sure if Wilson hadn't asked me what I planned to take a couple of days ago, there's no way I would have remembered this morning. As it is, I came very close to forgetting about it and then as I was surfing the web, my brain was like, "Hey, you should check the date".

I managed to get myself a pretty damned sweet schedule this year. Not once do I have to go to a class in the AM. My earliest class first term is at 1 PM, while my earliest class second term is at 12. Best of all, I have no Friday classes at all!

I've also in some classes that should be fairly interesting. I've got a Maitzen class (always a cakewalk), an Abela class (a fairly good prof), two Perrins classes (one of the more entertaining profs I've ever had), a creative writing class (should be fun), a class on Tolkien (from another good prof) and a class on Fantasy (which I've wanted to take but which they haven't offered since the year before I could have taken it).

The only course I'm not looking forward to is my 20th Century British Poetry class. In addition to not being that huge a fan of poetry (I enjoy it, I'm just not sure I'd want an entire class devoted exclusively to it), the prof is one of my least favorite profs I've ever had. Unfortunately, I need one of 5 courses to graduate. According to the English page, 2 of them are offered this year but the online registration only lists that one. I've sent an e-mail inquiring about the other course but I may end up with no choice but to take 20th Cent Poetry. Time will tell, I guess.

All in all, a great looking line-up of courses though (even if I do have to take the one not so good class).

Oh, look for my previously mentioned train of thought to show up here soon (my guess would be tonight).

Quilted Porcupine, away!
