i think this might be a little bit pathetic
I've picked out the ten seminars I want to take over the course of the MA program.
I have the reading list for the MA comprehensive exams (which I wouldn't take for what, two years?) and plan to get a head start on reading/re-reading things, this summer.
I've planned my schedule for the fall, and got extremely stoked when I saw the prof for the Materials & Methods class is my Victorian and British/Irish Fiction prof—because he's a great lecturer and very funny. I also picked two other classes, one taught by the grad coordinator (nice man and I hear he's a good lecturer) and one taught by the husband of my AmNovel prof (I hear he's pretty good too, and I like
her, so...perhaps that's good). The husband of my AmNovel prof is also the TA supervisor, and since I'd like to do that at some point I figure the sooner I make myself known to him, the better.
Did I mention that I'm not even
in the freaking program? My application, while complete, hasn't even made it to the English Department yet (although the grad coordinator has my writing sample). That would be the pathetic part.
Hey Dr. Free-Ride, if English doesn't want me, can I come play with the philosophers?
