Already Thinking of Spring...

The spring 2008 class schedule has been posted, so I've been perusing it, discovering that they are offering a seminar in 18th century and Restoration literature--exactly what I need to graduate. I was so happy at the thought of finishing my MA in the Spring.

I pulled down the graduate catalog to check to make sure I had all of my other requirements--and I realized, to my dismay, that it would appear that I've taken two courses in 20th century American literature, leaving me one requirement lacking. Oh no! I might be able to work around that, but I'll have to talk to my adviser. It irritates me because I'm usually so careful about knowing what I need to graduate. I think perhaps I got fixated on the seminar requirement that I signed up for the only night seminar offered, forgetting I had already fulfilled that requirement.

If I'm lacking one more class, it's not the end of the world. I'll just graduate in the summer or the fall. But...hopefully I'll be able to graduate in the spring. I'll keep you all posted.

It is that much more time you get to cherish being a student at the U of A. I understand the fear, though. When I was graduating, I was deathly afraid that I would come up missing something important. Luckily, my fears were unfounded. I even came out with an extra minor! Woot!

you know, we don't have period requirements like yours here at ut. basically, we're free to take whatever we want so long as we acquire 24 hours, 6 of which must be at the 600 level. i'm in classes on lyric poetry writing, renaissance tragedy, and reformation lit right now. next semester, i'm doing southern lit, two contemporary american drama courses (one in conjunction with the new york trip i'm making over xmas.) weird how this stuff works out.

i hope you're having a good week!
