*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*

I'm actually probably going to go with Logic A or B, whichever one they offer. Quite far from Philosophy of Art, admittedly, but I loved it first semester. ;) Epistomology and Metaphysics and Ethics both look interesting as well, although this may be because I really, really want to take soe,thing with a complicated title like Epistemology and Metaphysics... ;)

They are. Curse 'em.

Epistemology is pure evil. Seriously. It's paranoia. You come out of it thinking 'I don't know anything... garrr!' and then feel all confused for the next week, and end up questioning whether it is possible to know anything at all. And this was just the two-week introduction. I wonder how epistemologists sleep at night.

Sounds awesome. :D

Plus, come on.
"I have class today."
"Oh yes, what class?"
"Epistemology and Metaphysics."

Tell me your inner academic snobby bitch doesn't just spasm in joy. ;)

Can you really know that you have epistemology?

This is what I'm talking about. *has elitist spasms of joy*
