i think this linguistics class is going to drown me. homework, quiz, take home text, homework, LOTS OF PRACTICE EXERCISES, homework, quiz, quiz, quiz. are you getting the picture yet?
yeah, i’m keeping up so far. i just hope to gawd that it isn’t at the expense of my other classes. i’m afraid that my shakespeare class is going to be the one that sneaks up and kicks me across the room. if i only have reading and lecture in a class, but the tests require a lot of outside thinking that we don’t even touch on in discussions… well, i’m doomed. it’s not that i can’t extrapolate the info. it’s just that it gets put aside for the more demanding classes. and then the test is upon me and it’s too late to go over everything king richard and king henry said and how clever shakespeare was in what he had them say, when they said it, to whom they said it, and how they said it. and i’m pretty sure that’ll be on the test.
are you keeping the little white-coated men on speed dial? i may need them. oi! now if i could just find that damn calgon…
