Clearly, I was having trouble thinking of an interesting entry title. And I still didn't succeed.
Anyway. Hi. It's been over a month since I last posted. So what's been going on then? Well, more stress, for one thing, specifically with two of my classes. The other three are going pretty well. But anyway, I don't feel like talking about classes, because classes are stupid.
So! Classes for next semester! (See what I did there?) Of course, I had some difficulties getting into the ones I wanted, because that's what happens to me every semester. Because I have about the lowest amount of credits a person can have while still being a junior, I have the last choice when it comes to upper-level classes that I need for a major. This is never a problem with French, since the classes are always so small, but it's a bitch with English. The 400-level English classes fill up extremely quickly and thus make it impossible for me to even get on the wait list for them. After some maneuvering, I did manage to get on the wait list for an American literature class and then finally into the actual class, but now I'm hoping not to take French Civilization II next semester, so I'm on two different wait lists for a couple English writing courses, but I'm position 9 for both, and I have been for quite a while. So it's unlikely that I'll get into those. But, for the moment, my classes for next semester are:
French Literature II
French Civilization II
Contemporary American Literature
Introduction to Computer Science I
JINS: Page and Stage to Screen: Sherlock
University Chorus
I guess it's not too terrible of a schedule. I'll be much happier if I can drop French Civ, though. Also, I didn't realize that my JINS course was based on Sherlock when I bid on it, and I'm just not interested in Sherlock at all. That genre of literature has never interested in me. Oh, well.
We also finished the French play for the semester a couple of weeks ago, which is a bit of a relief. I was worried that everyone, including myself, would have trouble having lines memorized in time, but we all pulled it together. Personally, I feel like this semester's play was the best one we've done so far, especially on the first night. It helped, probably, that my character was pretty much typecast in that he was an overly dramatic grammar Nazi which is, y'know, me. And, as always, I love getting to know each new cast. Lauren's last play will be next semester, and I've got three more on the way. Part of me is considering doing something else during my senior year, but I feel like I shouldn't stop now. Why not go for all eight semesters like Lauren has done?
In other news, I am positively in love with Thor: The Dark World. I have seen in multiple times, mostly with different people. I just love it so, so, so much. And I like to think I'd like it without Loki, but he is a huge draw since his character development is one of the main reasons why I love the movie so much. Ah, well. It's wonderful. I want to see it again. I'm not sure I'll be able to wait the much-too-long length of time for it to come out on DVD.
