lol, that's happened to me a few times. There was this one time when I was about 18 or so, and I had drinken half of a jug of gin, and I was drunk for about three days, at least 48 hours. There was no question in my mind that I was still drunk 24 hours later when I got out of bed. What an experience. hehe
Are you still going to UMASS Boston? I'm going there full time now. It's going pretty well, but I'm late with some of my assignments and attendance is spotty. I hate being such a poor student and while I am able to fix that for some classes, it seems like others suffer as a result. ah well.
and sometimes : ) i'm taking an online course from bunker hill right now, and its working rather well for me. doing it on my own schedule alieviates most of the anxiety>procrastination patterns i put myself through with regular classes, and its easy enough that i get positive feedback even when i'm slacking. which probably wouldn't be a good thing if the class was important, but its an elective, and one i'm taking just for the credits, so i'm not sweating it.
in the spring, i'm hoping to take 'rise of the novel' from umass - it fits into my schedule and fulfills the pre1850's lit requirement, which i need to take care of. i'm tossing around the idea of taking an online course at the same time, but the actual class meets twice a week, and i'm afraid of biting off more then i can chew, and i'm curious to check into courses at harvard extension - as i take classes at night, and most of the more interesting classes at umass are morning classes, their classes do look appealing : ) and hey - i've got a lot of electives to take.
There sure are a lot of good courses in the morning... too bad I'm really not a morning person. I'm tempted to sign up anyway, but that's just asking for trouble. I'd like to take intro to creative writing, but it's 830am. Chaucer is at 930, which is just barely doable for me. Barely. I really want to take it but it'll be hard to get there so early in the morning. It's an hour commute for me. I work nights, often getting home about midnight or later, and I need some free time to surf the net or read or something, before I go to bed, so I really like the later classes.
I'm looking at the book of courses for this spring, and I don't see Rise of the Novel being offered. It sounds like an interesting course. Right now, I think I'll be taking the following english courses:
Intro to Creative Writing Tu, Thur 245; Chaucer, MWF 930 (early! argh! But I want to read middle English.. doh!); Rise of the Working Clas MWF 11:30, a bit more of a civilized hour; and The Art of Shakespeare, TuTh 100 (not a lit course but a seminar).
Have you taken any of the above courses already? This semester I'm taking the Survey of American Lit course, and Survey of Lit. I already took the BHCC versions. hmm UMASS calls them Six American Writers and Literary Studies I. They're both interesting, although also review, but literature is always interesting.
It would be neat to see a familiar face at UMASS. Let me know if you take an on campus class.
eek : / you're right - looks like i was looking at the wrong semester : /
looks like my options are satire, black poetry, or a non-english course. hrmph. i'm so not sure about satire. a part of me would like to push myself into the advanced poetry workshop, but that'd prolly be a bad idea.
i'm kicking around that idea of taking a history course... and really wishing bunker hill would post their schedule of spring online classes...
Bunker hill post their schedule... you seem to be implying that they would do this online?! As far as I know, they updated their website once in the history of the school, for the spring 2000 semester. And for whatever reason, they decided never to update it again following that. I'm curious. I'll go see if that's still the case.
Looks like Spring 2001 was their big semester when they listed their courses online like real schools do. Still there. Spring 2001. Never going to change.
