Class getting!

 I have already signed up for Spring 2016 classes. When I saw my advisor’s email to set up appointments for that thing, I just dismissed it assuming that would be dealt with later in the semester. Fortunately, I coincidentally bumped into my advisor and I looked up my sign up time to learn that it was just a week from that time. I got a meeting with my advisor and we determined to get my requirement for a Critical Theory and Practice class, which I admittedly didn’t look up to see what it was about until now. It seems to be about how literature is studied in the discipline of English and the theories and practices around how that study is formed. The course description indicated that this would be of help in the future class where you have to write a long as hell essay. Hopefully it would be helpful in that arena. I’m taking the class with a teacher I had before, in a class I believe was about English novels around the time of Dickens and it’s nice to be taught by professors familiar with you.

The other class I chose was Script Writing. I was kind of interested in that craft since reading The Writer’s Tale of how Russel T Davies did Doctor Who scripts. From the description of the class, it seems right up my alley and I do enjoy crafting stories while in class. I hope the professor isn’t the type to press for more ordinary slice of life tales rather than speculative fiction. Other professors in the creative writing sometimes pressed for that but didn’t object much when I went in a speculative direction. Though speaking of creative writing, there was the issue of a prerequisite. In any other ordinary case, I was required to take some other previous film course. But since I had a concentration in creative writing, the professor and the chair of that department pleasantly granted an exemption.

On Monday the day of the signup, there was a little snag where attempts to get accepted into both classes were bounced back because I didn’t have a prerequisite. For the English class, it was some snafu because I apparently did take a prerequisite and my advisor helped to add me to the class. For Script Writing, it was prompting the chair of film to remind someone to force register me for the class. It was a bit anxiety inducing but as I continued to check to see the classes remained opened, it didn’t bother me too much. Now that I see both classes continue to remain open, I guess it was a bit silly to be worried. But fortunately I’m now set for Spring 2016.

That’s all for now. I need to ask my Shakespeare professor later about the particulars of a critical short essay analyzing an article analyzing a Shakespeare play. I already begun it but it’s been a while since I’ve done essays, so I’m rusty and am a bit unsure of how to go on for 1000 words. Hopefully it would all go well and I would be able to do the later longer essays this semester. Anyway, see you!
