clandestine class blogging February 27, 2008
Posted by Abby T in : academic pursuits, the photo project , add a commentI try not to bring my laptop to class because it’s so distracting (see: updating my blog in class), but I had to this morning because my registration time for spring quarter classes falls during Restoration & 18th Century Lit.
So here I am.
Photo du jour!
This was taken near my mother’s old apartment in Manhattan. I like the colors.
Anyway, here’s what I’m taking next quarter:
English 359: Victorian Lit
English 298: Intro Sem in Reading & Interpretation
Slavic 255: Intro to Slavic Civ
English 351: Romantic Poetry
Yep. Three English classes and a random Slavic Studies class, because it’s a historical studies distribution class and it fits in my scheduling scheme for the quarter.
Winter quarter’s scheduling scheme had me in class all morning and free all afternoon. I was out by 1pm every day. It was nice - it helped me get up in the morning and therefore be more productive in the afternoon. Spring quarter, I am only in class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Three classes back-to-back-to-back from 9:30-2, then an hour and a half in which to eat and do the reading for my 3:30-5 class.
For the four weeks next quarter when I’m in rehearsal or tech for the Bacchae, Tuesdays and Thursdays are going to suck. I’m going to leave my apartment at 9AM and get back at 11PM (poor kitty will be lonely!). But I think it will be worth it for a four-day weekend and a free Wednesday every week.
Two days on, and five days off? Survey says: definitely yes!
