*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 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.

It should be possible. I kind of like Shakespeare, myself, but it's a matter of taste, innit? :D

She totally is. well, was. You know.

I do like Shakespeare. I really do. I just hate studying it in detail.

Yeah, fair enough. :) I does loves it, personally, but to each their own.
