Winter is Coming

Tue Nov 24, 2009, 2:04 PM
The year's winding down. Thanksgiving's the day after tomorrow, Christmas is getting closer, and between the two the school semester ends. I just signed up for next semester's classes yesterday. I'm going to take German 202, the last German class I'll take unless I decide to pick it up as a minor, English 308, which is a writing class for literary criticism (Should be horrible, I think I need to write a research paper for the damn thing), English 444, which is on American literature since WW2, and is taught by Dr. Jakaitis, one of my favorite professors and also my academic advisor, and finally English 221, a poetry writing class which currently doesn't fulfill any requirements for me, but I want to take it. I might add a creative writing minor when I run out of straight English classes to take, who knows. If nothing else, it just counts towards the 124 hour requirement for graduating.

Anyway, this means I'll actually be getting some formal instruction specifically on writing poetry. I think I do pretty okay with just the basics I've gleaned from more general courses, but since writing poetry comes fairly naturally to me it should be a fun class, and easy to do well in. I'll probably post all the poems I write unless I think they suck, though of course I'll wait until after I get them back to avoid any appearance of plagiarism (And to avoid having professors find me online, as that would be slightly creepy). As mentioned in the 10 things I put up, I want to write fiction for a living if possible, but the fiction class was full already. Hopefully I remember to sign up for classes earlier next semester...

Anyway, on Christmas: going home December 22nd, for all concerned with such things. Things will be ingested, and other things will be opened to reveal newly purchased possessions. Discussions will be had, and shows will be watched. Then I come back to the land of They Who Don't Understand How Demonyms Work, spend a final weekend of laziness, and head back to school.

P.S. Is it just me, or does the "Eager" emoticon dude look kind of creepily dirty somehow?

I am a thinker. It's what I do. I am also a writer. It's what I try to do. I write poems, and have a lot of unfinished stories laying around. If you like what you see, let me know. If you don't, you can tell me that, too.

If you don't know what an autodidact is, become one.

Hi, you don't know me, but you've been tagged to post post 10 things about yourself in your journal. :)

If you don't want to, or have been tagged before, that fine too.

Look forward to a response. :D

Capitalism and religion kill the animals, individuals and society. They can kill you in a variety of ways, slow or quick. There can be no happiness or peace on this planet, no prosperity for the masses, as long as this slavery continues.

When did you join? o_o
:icondemokritos:
I joined pretty much forevers ago. This is a new account, though, which I just made last night, because I didn't want to use the name on the other one for actually putting things up.
