stupid schedule

rivendellroseWell, I finally managed to get Scand 270, a section of English 498, and some class on English modernism to go together without conflicting or requiring me to take an 8:30 class.
Instead, I'm taking a 9:30. Because, you know, that one hour makes all the difference in the world. *Grumbles*
Sad thing is, I'm actually relatively happy with the seminar I got - except I'm hacked off about the time. I wanted a later one, damn it! I don't like being up that early in the winter, it's cold and depressing, and Tuesdays and Thursdays I already have to stay late because of work, and now I have to be there early, too! Grrrrr. But... we're reading Jane Eyre again, and I get to read Persuasion and Kim, both of which I've wanted to read for a while. Less thrilled about Mill's On Liberty, but... honestly, this is pretty good, for the seminar choices this quarter.
Don't know what we'll be reading in the Modern English Poetry, class, but it's good to remember that 'Modernism' was the early half of the 20th century. According to the basic course description, it should include Eliot and Yeats, and other folks I like. *g* God bless literary of 'modern,' that's all I'm saying.
I get to take The Sagas, though. That's what matters.
Okay... back to bed. Although something (very stupid) in me says "hey... you could just stay awake, you know!" Blargh, no. That would make Jen fall asleep at work, most likely. G'night, again.

Date: 2004-11-09 11:41 am (UTC)Yeah... I'll have to fuss with the bus schedules from the new place and figure out how early I have to get up in the morning to catch a bus that'll get me to campus before 9:30. I've been getting between 8 and 8:30, so I'll have to shift it back a bit more, I'm sure, to account for buses rather than walking. It still shouldn't be tooooo bad, though. Bleck.
