*hiss, spit, tantrum*

The 200-level English course I really, really want to take isn't being offered next year.

ARG! Why don't they cut the stoopid "writing for stage and screen" course? Grargh. It's not like writing for stage and screen is ever going to pay- okay, okay, so poetry isn't going to either but SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE, WTF? And there aren't really any other courses at 200-level I want to take- oh, okay, except Children's Literature, which ALSO IS NOT BEING OFFERED. Man, English department, all I want to do is write poetry and study Frances Hodgson Burnett, WHY DO YOU HATE ME SO?

Is it wrong of me to not want to take courses on the eighteenth century novel? Or drama? Or NZ literature? (okay, I feel guilty about that last one. It would be sort of nice to study Witi Ihimaera, but I'm not a Frame fan *guilt guilt HUILT*) Okay, History of the English Language looks quite interesting, and so does Shakespeare on Film- but that was a special topic and it's not going to be offered again. *glum* and it's a real shame, because that also looks totally cool. And The Taming of the Shrew was on the list, which means they probably did 10 things I hate about you. How unfair is this, world?

*sulks and wanders off to go look at Philosophy courses*

Threaded | Flat

You could take a philosophy of art course, if you're going to go that way. I've been sulking all year about not being able to take English and an aesthetics course is a great substitute as well as being valuable as a base for future lit courses.

But yeah, that does suck. Universities are fickle.

Uch. That sucks.

Shakespeare on Film? Awesome. I visited Vanderbilt with two of my friends last year, and we sat in on a class like that, except it was Jane Austen books. They watched Clueless and discussed it in relation to Emma.

*huggles* That is poos. But you can always take them the year after, can't you?

I gaily claimed that I would do an English lit major without doing any Shakespeare, Chaucer or work before the Romantic period.

That sucks balls. Frances Hodgson Burnett is a genius.

Have you considered doing massey extramural papers and getting them cross credited? Their poetry paper is likely to stay. they are doing a children lit over summer school at least (but only at 100 level).

No, this isn't so you'd have to visit for contact courses.

Really.

Try political science! (...okay, maybe not...:D)

Just do something that interests you, is all the advice I have :)

Whaaaaat??!!!! That's the freaking awesome paper I took this year, that I advised you to do! Man, that's weird, I wonder why?? I know Claire Hero is taking a couple of Creative Writing Honours papers, which I'm pretty sure I'll be doing, but cutting 231...stwange, vewy stwange...

I did Children's Lit. in my second year...must confess I wasn't overly fond of it, I've done better courses. Was rather ticked off that they got to do "The House at Pooh Corner" this year!

NZ Lit. at 200-level is fecking brilliant. Not a Frame fan eh...BLASPHEMY!!!
