Classes I'm taking to learn more German:
*Grammatik (Grammar)
*Deutsch für Studium und Alltag (German for Studying and Everyday Life)
*Ausspracheschulung (Pronunciation)
*Konversation (Conversation)
Classes I'm taking in German:
*Idealismus und Empirismus (Idealism and Imperialism)
Graduate Courses I'm taking in English:
*Post Human Bodies: Men, Women and Machines in Literature, Film and Music Video (This course is a cross between English and philosophy, needless to say, I love it.)
*The World's Eye: Ralph Waldo Emerson (This course, as far as I can tell, deals with Transcendentalism, Kant's influence on Emerson, and Emerson's influence on American thought and culture.... Emerson was said to have written our "Intellectual Declaration of Independence.")
Additional Courses:
* Teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language (Focusing on theory and method primarily while incorporating a few historical perspectives to see exactly how politics have influenced how we teach.)
Courses I was going to take but dropped for one reason or another:
*Cross Cultural Voices: German & American Literature (I was less than impressed by the sub-par grad student who, from what I could see, was using the class as supplemental research for her dissertation.)
*Honors Seminar: Translating the Poetry of June Jordan (I guess this is an invitation only course, and having been invited I'm a little upset with myself for turning it down. On the other hand, I don't know if I'm ready to translate poetry [actually I know I'm not] and by not taking it, it keeps my Wednesday evenings free.)
... more on this later (I have to go get my laundry)...
