DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY-O!

I LOVE COLLEGE!

I'm not being miserable or sarcastic. I'm honestly truly happy about my courses this semester. I have one more I have yet to see and that's Psychology. *knocks on wood* But dude! This is what I'm taking along with Psychology and Choir: Banned Books. Reading Women's Writers. Introduction to Japan. Greek Mythology. Best courses ever or best courses ever? I'm fucking taking Banned Books. I'm in a state of literary bliss! *____________*

I read Howl by Allen Ginsberg, with other poems of his. Why has no one shown me this stuff before? :o I was worried Virginia Woolf would bore me to tears, but I was actually quite fascinated by what she's saying in the excerpts from In a Room of One's Own our teacher instructed us to read in Women's Writers. Who knows, and I don't want to be too hopeful as I've been disappointed before, but if Woolf's novels are like her essays, I'm going to look forward to Mrs. Dalloway. :o

Oh my god. The first book we are going to read in Banned Books is Lolita. Which makes Puri one happy duck because she always wanted to read it. ♥ I got the first few chapters last semester, but I never had time to read more, and I was also reading Stephen King's Misery. XD But gosh we're gonna read so much sweet stuff!

Hell, I'm not gonna screw this up. I'm getting all A/Bs this semester and do all the readings and assignments on time. That means Tale of Gilgamesh comes before Internet drama and people complaining about Hetalia/Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter/10th Doctor/11th Doctor/Twilight on fandomsecrets. Call me when something interesting comes up. *cackles as she temporarily unwatches Fandom Secrets and goes curling up with a promised friend named Woolf~*

I'm really glad things are going better for you. You deserve it.

Woot, Ginsberg! Have you also read William S. Burroughs (Naked Lunch) and Jack Kerouac (On The Road)? And then of course those lead back into Hemingway and the lost generation, and so on down to the creation. Really influenced my attitudes in college, though I've stopped immediately assuming everyone will love them as soon as I invoke their names.

College is amazing, isn't it! I can't wait to return! ^^

That's fantastic news, honey! :) I think Greek mythology would be interesting--I know I enjoyed the little bits we looked over in highschool anyway.

You have a good semester, and worry about making your assignments fun :D



EDIT: Btw your icon made me LOL. I miss that movie.

WOOO YOU MADE IT INTO THE COURSE (banned books)! Lolita is a great read because it can be read in many ways: as a straightforward mystery novel, a romance, a psychological piece, etc. Have fun with it!

Greek mythology sounds like a blast, too. Reading plays, are you? Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripedes, and Aristophane (and more that i forget) were some of the Greek playwrights I grew familiar with in college. I usually hate poems and plays w/figurative language—actually I hate figurative language in general—but I enjoyed the Greek style.

I hope your classes stay awesome!
