This is How it Works
Feb. 27th, 2007 06:06 pmMy final quarter at Seattle University looks like this:
- English 352 - 19th Century European Novel w/Dr. Weber
Mondays & Wednesdays, 10:00 - 12:05
- English 415 - Donne and His Critics w/Dr. McDowell
Mondays & Wednesdays, 1:30 - 3:35
- English 328 - Chaucer w/Dr. Bullon-Fernandez
Tuesdays & Thursdays, 3:45 - 5:50
I'm really excited for all of them. I had Dr. Weber for English 110 and have been trying to get her ever since. And just now I've realized that I'm ending with her. Full circle, or something.
A week ago I was a bit wary about taking the Chaucer class, but I think I've become better at really participating in class to not fail completely at participation with Bullon-Fernandez.
I will admit to lingering nerves concerning the decision over the Donne class. I love John Donne, but McDowell is a big Donne fanatic (T-shirt to prove it) and that makes talking about it with him a little weird because what do I know as a student, y'know? But it's his thing and it's Donne and Katie will be there and I'm really looking forward to it regardless.
Meanwhile, OMG SERIOUSLY SHOOT ME IN THE FACE. The end of this quarter is RAPIDLY approaching and I'm so not prepared to have to write final papers. I may be freaking out a little internally at the moment.

Date: 2007-03-01 02:35 am (UTC)Wasn't Bullon doing the random calling on people in Brit Lit I? I'm hoping that I'll be okay. This quarter I really have started just jumping in and speaking up. And I feel like I've become a Chaucer loving geek this quarter. You're right, everyone is intimidated by her. At least I am.
I really liked McDowell when I had him, but it's like the farther away I get from that class, the more I'm reluctant to take him again. He does come off as pompous and there's something there that makes me a little uncomfortable sometimes, but that may be because half (more than?) the girls in the English department want to do him. And that's just weird.
