AAAAAHHHHHHH

ok, so im in australia but the past couple of days have been consumed with me trying to figure out what the heck i want to take for class next semester. it's a total goldmine in the fall! i mean, completely ridiculous.

heres the deal, i just emailed prof freddoso (head of philo dept) and basically told him to tell me what to do cos im overwhelemed. he's teaching a chesterton course (reading orthodoxy and the everlasting man), o'call is doing aquinas (pretty much the reason i went to ND for petes sake [reading: first thirteen questions of the summa]), sayre's teaching the class i made him teach (no way of not taking that one[reading: Euthyphro, Apology, Crito, Meno, Protagoras, Phaedo, Republic, Phaedrus, Symposium, and Theaetetus]), neiman (whom i love) is doing socrates etc (reading list coming as soon as i get it), and MACINTYRE is doing his thing (what fool *doesnt* want to take that class????.
ok so thats five classes. i could be completely psycho and just take five philos, what the heck. BUT.
there's this PLS class on lyric poetry that i HAVE to take (the one brian was telling me about), here's the course descrip:
An introduction to poetry through intensive study of several lyric poets writing in English. Through close reading of selected poems, students will become familiar with central literary devices, including rhythm and meter, image, metaphor, symbol, paradox, and irony. Poems studied will range from the Renaissance to the 20th century, and may include Shakespeare's sonnets and Keats' odes, along with the works of other major poets such as Donne, Herbert, Marvell, Gray, Wordsworth, Dickinson, Hopkins, Yeats, Eliot, and Stevens.


aaahhhhhh!!!!!!! i just emailed the prof and asked oh so nicely (well, groveled is more like it) to let me in even though im not PLS.

so i just emailed freddoso, explained my predicament, and asked him to tell me what classes to take (whatever i dont take for credit im going to audit), and if i was out of my mind to hypothetically take five philos.


other than that, life is good. im working all weekend, get paid on sunday (who's excited!). just realized that since im working so much, and (hopefully) getting paid so much, ill be able to keep my phone way more charged, and thus can CALL people without holding my breath praying skype does fritz out on me.

specifically: marmar, stevo, boodles, and sarah. havent talked to you peeps in for-e-ever.

could someone email me everyone's adresses?

ok, im off to clean my room and do some reading. hope everyone is well. PRAY im able to figure out next semster, no?
grazie
