Spring Quarter preview

Since winter quarter didn't go over without its many bumps and bruises, I thought it might be wise to lay out what the Spring will be like, since it's only two and a half weeks away.

CLASSES:
SPN 334, Literary Study 2
UH 400, Revolutions: Turning Points in the History of Science
ENG 420: Senior Poetry Seminar
ENG 393: Short Story Workshop

What to expect:
SPN 334: Lots of reading and short-answer/essay tests, at least one paper
UH 400: At least one detailed research paper, but interesting subject material
ENG 420: Writing poetry that will please the professor, and probably a paper or two
ENG 393: Lots of writing (duh) but with a really good professor who is also my Honors advisor


ALSO, I will be working on my Honors senior capstone project, a collection of six short stories of 7-10 pages each, plus meetings with my advisor to go over said project.

CLASS SCHEDULE:
MWF Class only from 12:15-1:20 (SPN)
T/TH Class from 12:20-5:50, fifteen minutes in between each of the other three classes

WORK SCHEDULE:
S: 5:30pm-1:30am (potential for a full 8 hours of sleep)
M 5:30pm-1:30am (approx. 3 hours between getting home from class and leaving for work)
T 9pm-1am (approx. 2.5 hours free)
W none (free from about 1:45pm on)
Th 9pm-2am (approx. 2.5 hours free)
F 9pm-2am (approx. 7 hours free)

So basically, I can expect to be writing pretty much ALL THE TIME, but I will have a lot more free time in which to do it. That seems paradoxical because I'm taking the same amount of credits this quarter as I am in the Spring, however, this quarter I only had Tuesday and Thursday afternoons off for getting school- and house-work done. But in the spring, I get a few hours on Monday and several on Wednesday and Friday.

Plus, none of my classes begin before noon, so I can definitely get enough sleep, or use morning hours to complete assignments.

I'm just relieved that
(a) the weather will be nicer, and
(b) it's my second-to-last quarter at WSU!!!!!!
