Um. Yeah.

Just thought I'd let you all know that you'll probably be seeing MUCH less of me this quarter. A)because it looks like this quarter's going to be 3 times as hectic as last quarter and B)because it may kill me.

Rundown of my classes:

• Psychology of Men - Uber cool, and I'm very excited to get into it - even if there are only four guys in the class. However, this class has a 5-page paper due every other week, 7 in-class assignments, a massive reading list, a midterm and a final (though they're worth only 20% of the grade).


• Research Methods II - this will be what kills me. Remember those two huge papers that I worked for weeks on? This quarter there's 7 of them, an even massiver reading list (as in 200pgs a night), and a midterm and final that are each worth 30% of the grade. meep!


• American Novel - *thud*. I already don't like the class. I'm going to try and be positive about it though, but Williams is CRAZY and if he makes me sit through anymore of his reading, I'll surely have to fly out a window. I'm excited about all of the texts, except for the EVOL Huck Finn. And guess what? It's the first book we're reading, and we're spending four weeks on it. We've only got one week to read the Grapes of Wrath! The man is crazy. Also, Mark Twain should have been shot in the head.


• Substance Abuse - haven't had it yet, but that could go either way. Could be a very easy class with a very small workload, or it could be an extremely difficult class with a massive workload.

In short, *whimper*.

::petpetpet:: I remember university...there was drinking and partying and much chatting with friends. I'd forgotten about the studying bit of it. Now I remember. That bit sucked!

On a side note, shall I take it that you don't like Mark Twain then?

Really, the only thing I have against him is Huck Finn. I haven't read anything else by him, but that is sufficient to want him murdered.

U poor thing *pets* I thought the point of college was to educate the students, not kill them??

At any other college, that's so. Not so much, here at DePaul, though. *headdesk*

holy shit i want to take psychology of men and substance abuse. WHY DOESN'T MY CLASS OFFER THAT?! Well, ok they offer drug and alcohol addiction, but not psychology of men...or women for that matter. :[

That is one thing that DePaul's good about, what kind of classes they offer. There's all kinds of women's class - it's actually a major here.

Yeah, I forgot to mention his reading. It is rather painful. You just have to tune it out and read ahead of him. He really is an easy teacher, though.

Painful isn't harsh enough of a word. Cara had to take my pencils away so I wouldn't stab my ears.

*hope* he's easy, otherwise it'll be a LONG quarter.

i always thought williams was kind of a hoot.

but, i'd prefer to not have a class with him again.

[chocgood84.livejournal.com]

He really does seem like a nice enough guy - just not all that sure about his sanity.

Wow that's a lot of work. Hope you're up to it, will miss seeing you...pop in and post every now and then. Can't say I agree with you on Twain, love Twain...but you're entitled to your opinion. You know the amusing thing is I have a postcard on the wall near my computer of the room where he wrote Huck Finn. Sorry you don't enjoy it.

I actually am not up to it, heh. And I really don't have anything against Twain, except that book. *shrugs* I guess it's all relative, ya know?
