well, i dropped a course.
so i got my first W standing.
and also i will not be refunded the $401.10 tuition fee.
supposedly, now i have more time to study for my other courses
so i won't do as bad in them (or fail, as the situation seems to be threatening)
however, i seriously question whether or not i have the determination to devote the newly acquired time to studying, and to divide it up evenly between my remaining courses...
the argument was, i'm paying $401.10 to maintain my sanity (i'm sick of anxiety attacks)
and i did gain quite a bit out of the course; i learned to view children's literature in a completely different light - as actual literary works written with a purpose. there are actually literary theories and catagorizations that go beyond the superficial "adventure, romance, suspense" labeling that is usually tagged on to such works...
well. i don't want to know that.
i just want to enjoy a good book for what it is - a good book.
a good way to kill time, to RELAX.
i don't care if it reaffirms Locke's views on proper education of young minds.
perhaps i really shouldn't be in english..
but then what am i doing in psych if it requires grad school and i respond as poorly as i do to stress? *sigh*
oh, by the way, for those of you out there contemplating an english course-
don't take children's lit just cuz the reading list looks like fun.
it's actually overwhelming, and they manage to make it quite unfun.
(although my prof speaks in a very interesting and animated matter, her expectations for exams and general background knowledge are shocking... or maybe i'm just not quite at the 400-level yet...)

聽不到 聽不到 聽不到
我不要 不要 不要
隔離 自我隔離 不理不管不去感受
Something ugly this way comes
Through my fingers sliding inside
All these blessings all these burns
I'm godless underneath your cover
Search for pleasure
search for pain
In this world now I am undying
I unfurl my flag my nation helpless
Black black heart
why would you offer more
Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy
I'm on fire
I'm rotting to the core
I'm eating all your kings and queens
All your sex and your diamonds
As
I begin to lose my grip
On these realities you're sending
Taste your mind and taste your sex
I'm naked underneath your cover
Covers lie and we will bend and borrow
With the coming sign
The tide will take the sea will rise and time will rape
Black black heart
why would you offer more
Why would you make it easier on me to satisfy
I'm on fire
I'm rotting to the core
I'm eating all your kings and queens
All your sex and your diamonds
