Feb. 8th, 2008 03:59 pmIn an effort to get the University to stop sending me invitations to my graduation, and emails warning that my email will be deleted if I don't hurry up and enrol already, I have been sort-of desperately working on enrolling for the year. This has been weirdly difficult because, as indicated by the fact that they're sending me graduation invites, I actually completed a whole degree last year! I'm sort of proud: I hold a BSc in Philosophy, also known as the least sciency BSc ever (My science points come from a lot of, like, maths, linguistics, and logic papers.) Anyway, so, I'm sort of proud, but mainly I just wish they'd stop tempting me with postgraduate work since I still have to spend this year finishing up my BA.
Basically what this means is I have this whole year to bum around taking two 300-level english papers and... any other four papers so long as two of them are at 300 level and two of them are at 200 level. ANY PAPERS. When I worked this out, I was really excited! Like, yay! But it turns out I'll basically be taking a lot of... English and Philosophy, since no-one's going to let me take papers at 300 level unless I've done 200-level papers with them (the fascists.)
So, this is what I'm doing, as of right now:
ENGL313: Cultures of the Supernatural
PHIL239: Political Theory: A History of Political Thought
PHIL310: History of Philosophy (I know, I know: BORING. I KNOW. But I figure I have basically only taken phil courses in Ethics and Logic and I should probably take courses that allow me to know who Hume and Locke are, other than thatLocke wrote The Leviathan LOL, no he didn't, it was Hobbes. I don't know ANYTHING about Locke. and Hume didn't like Cartesian skepticism)
ENGL333: the Exotic (This looks cool, but I actually wanted to take the C19th novel paper. But it clashed with the ANTH paper which looks heaps of fun, so.)
ANTH202: The Anthropology of Politics and Power
HIST357: The French Revolution - MAYBE. I really want to take this! But the office lady was all, yeah, they're probably not going to take you in at 300 level without even having done Classics or Ancient History or Maori (Which, BTW, omg.) However, my PHIL and ENGL marks last year were fairly fabulous, so I'm going to speak to the HOD on Monday and basically beg. It will probably include saying stuff like "I did history - in seventh form!"
if they don't let me take that, I will... sigh, I'll probably take another Phil paper. :-/ Or see if Anthropology is nicer than history, and take the ANTH paper at 300 level and the HIST paper at 200 level. That would not be a huge deal.
