Psych 229 - Abnormal psychology

What does this add up to? Hours of reading 600 page novels and analyzing the reasons I was stupid enough to take on four english classes when I only need 3 to graduate. That's right, I need three courses to graduate, lets make this clear, three courses TOTAL. Not three english than a bunch of fillers, three total. How many am I taking? 10.... yes 10. Why? Clearly I am an idiot and I enjoy debt. The actual reason is I am trying to make up for two years of slacking by killing myself for 8 months and how have I spent the first two weeks? Slacking. That's not actually entirely true, I have been working 4 days a week and spending time with ray who just came home last week so really.... sigh. This is actually going to be quite short because I have to read some plays for Medieval drama for tomorrow, (they are in old english) and my prof tends to call on me.

327-First class, first time he calls on someone who do you think he calls on? Of course, me. and it wasn't a question question it was "what do you think?" well what he was talking about I didn't really have an opinion on so I had to make something up, hopefully it sounded ok because the breaker of my heart earlier this year's brother is in my class (i know god hates me) so if I look like an idiot it gets back to him. Needless to say as happy as I was to see him tuesdays and thursdays are going to suck, stupid constant reminders. Oh well, I am surrounded by friends in that class and the prof thinks highly of me so that is good. For the record I really missed Bowers (the prof) over the summer, he is so happy and so excited that it is hard not for that to spread.. I love listening to him talk.

409 - My Gothic class has like 5 people I know, it's a record I'm pretty sure. My prof has an accent, always good. Our first class was spent analyzing a coleridge poem, changes made from a first draft to a final draft. How cool is that? We looked for changes in even a word here and there and why he did it. I was so happy! The prof is definitely not as dynamic as bowers but he is really knowledgeable in his area, I feel like I am going to learn a lot in this class. This class is also closest to what my masters specialization is going to be so I am super pumped for that.

psych 339 - Lots of people, lecture hall, prof that talks fast, abnormal psych. Not a lot to say about this class but I love it! It's nice to be back in a psych course, I feel more at home. Also, no papers!! HURRAH!!!!!!

349 - I have to read Jane Austin for this class:( I had almost made it all the way through without having to read her crap. I enjoy the prof, although the first book we had to read was dreadfully boring but the other ones look ok. I'm excited to read Caleb Williams (written by Mary Shelley's father). He seems cool but I missed today so I don't know how he is going to approach the literature itself.

223 - I'm very blah about this course. I don't like James Joyce and don't have much knowledge about post-colonialism, nor will it help me in my studies but I needed a course in this category. He is a nice enough guy, Irish (always a plus in a Callahan's eyes:)). Wants to work us on our writing so I am really scared he won't fit into my do my essays the day before class way of working, we'll see.



Well I'm sure this has been thrilling. Time to get to the drama.. god, 11 at night, and yet again I sleep not:)
