Back to School, A Few Months Late

Filed Under being creative, plans, small happinesses

Hooray, I’m going back to school in January! The LH and I decided to start attempting un bebé next fall, and I want to have completed my degree by the time it comes a-squawking. When I met with my advisor, I learned that I have six terms left of classes. Hooray!

My classes for the Winter term will likely be: Political Criticism in Film, Modernization to Globalization, and Psychoanalysis and Film. I am torn, however, about the fourth class: Should it be the course on Medieval Women Writers, or the History of the Middle East? The advantage of the medieval women’s class is that it meets weekly, whereas the Middle East class is a three-day seminar - not my favorite format.

But in any case, I’m happy to be going back to school! This also means I can work on the college’s literary magazine (unless I submit something to it), and join the writers’ club.

It occurs to me just now that I haven’t been in a club since … 6th grade.

Hafidha, how exciting! Congratulations on your plan and best wishes for a successful experience.

Yes, this is very exciting! I took a Medieval French Lit class that focused on female writers….you might like that a lot. But then, who can pass up the opportunity to know more about the middle east? And good luck with the baby making.

Wow, that’s so great news about the bebe — best wishes on expanding your family in the years ahead! Both classes sound good, but my thought is that the history of the Middle East might be more interesting to discuss in a group, whereas you could probably read the books from the medieval women writer’s syllabus on your own. Whichever one you pick, please post about what you are learning.
