if you thought i was done with dilemmas...

i'm not.

you'll be happy to know the tv thing worked out fine. i saw both roswell and angel, both of which were great.

now, the real problem...

i got that class. the 638. The one i wanted on monday. There was an empty spot when i checked this morning and i snagged it. I am officially enrolled. Great. Fantastic. Where's the problem? Well. Here's the thing. ONE person didn't show up on monday. 8 people wanted to add and were put on a waiting list (myself included). One of those 8 was on her last semester of coursework and guaranteed a spot in the class (unbeknownst to the teacher at that time). So presumably she would get the last spot, and none of the rest of would and then it would be ok. NOW, assuming that the person who dropped (leaving the one spot open) was the person who didn't show up on monday...Did I just take the spot of the girl who was "promised" it. If so, will I be forced to relinquish my seat? Can they even do that? If i had added before class started on monday they would have no grounds...would now be any different? If they don't force me to drop it, then should i be riddled with guilt? I don't know what to do. There's a lot of reading to do, and i don't know if i should do it. I was gonna return the books today, but i guess now i won't.

What's more. (yes there's more). Is that the class i added on tuesday, the one i had last night, Engl 408, and UNDERgraduate narrative writing class is going to kick my ass all over the place. I already have a ten page story to right for next week. PLUS the extra work given to me because i'm a graduate student. Which btw, is to come up with five or six books i want to read and i think would be benificial for writers to read (how i am supposed to know that without having read them first is beyond me) of which the teahcer (who is certifiably insane) will pick three of for us to read and write about. It was good fun telling the teacher i wouldn't be in next week due to a Toad concert too...

AND i was highly advised AGAINST taking more than three classes this semester. Now i'm enrolled in FOUR. one of which is, and i directly quote from the graduate advisor "the hardest graduate class" and one of which can only be described as an exercise for me in extreme masochism. I have never. ever. in my life. writen a proper short story. never. did i mention the teacher's insane. yes i think i did.

so yeah. dilemmas. The only thing i know i'm not going to do is try to crash the 604 class i was planning on doing today.

i am so so screwed.

me too!!! I'm gonna stick with the four classes for now. If I am forced to drop the theory class, i will, cuz it's the ptb telling me to take less. if i think i can't handle 4 classes, i'll drop one. I have till feb 10th to decide. I'm gonna try 4. We'll see if i die.
