(was told to come up with a few sentences about how I think of writing for Adv writing and editing, that's what I came up with.)
Well, I'm in Ecology and Evolution class, and at this point I've been to all my courses except one, the Eighteenth Century Novel.
I've found you can estimate the difficulty of a course by how much actual learning happens on the first day. "Here's your course outline now go home" means you can safely use this period to write essays for other classes. Or blog posts. Or webcomics, or sleep >.>; If you get right down to work and actually use the entire class period, you should probably pay attention in lectures. Based on that this is gonna be a pretty tough term, cause I only got to go home early in Romanticism.
Class rundown! Eighteen century novel and romaticism are period lit classes, the difference being that I'll have to read actual novels for the novel class so that'll be time consuming >.>
Taking Advanced writing and editing, which is a senior writing course. In the intro writing course they teach you how to write 'academically', this is where they push you to do that and also write well. Four essays, no midterm, no final, great prof, should be fun.
Lit Crit and Theory is gonna be weird ._. Imagine TVtropes if it was allowed to develop for a century and there were like fifty factions that hated one another and all made up their own set of terms, that's kinda what lit theory is like. Except more pretentious and less geeky. On the bright side, I do like that kinda thing and there's only one actual essay for the class.
Eco and Evo is one of the funner bio courses :3 field trips will be happening! Mostly to swamps <.<; but still!
PS: Ooo I forgot! They've given me a room to myself! ^-^b Apparently res wasn't completely full and being autistic bumps you right the the top of that list :D
PPS: Oh, and Eco and Evo ended 20 minutes early, thus at least sorta justifying my writing this blog post in the middle of it ^-^;
