I've been waiting to take Intro to Fiction for some time now---I really wanted that for foundation before taking the Fiction Writing Workshop---and I'm glad it finally fit my schedule :)
And I've waited forever for Grammar! It didn't fit my schedule the last time Dr. Brooks offered it, but I bought the text anyway and worked through it on my own, and I absolutely loved sentence trees :) I'll finally get to actually take the class in Spring!
In the Losses Column, the German Capstone class is not being offered, as Frau Gross has to teach Business German instead :( Hence Translation, which counts as a German class as well, even though Dr. Pichot teaches it in English.
The other two classes---Photography with Dana and Journalism with Rob---are continuations of what I'm already taking ... Something else happened at the end of the advising meeting: Miriam asked me to take whatever I wanted from the left half of her bookshelf. She's giving away much of her library because she's retiring at the end of this semester ... This was my last advising meeting with her :( I took nine books (all on how to write).
And that seemed to be the theme for the rest of the day: Later in the afternoon, when my red pen ran out of ink in the middle of grading, Sr. Ann gave me one of hers, and she added that she could spare it because she's going to retire at the end of the Spring semester!
So my teachers are retiring, and my colleagues are retiring, and, looking forward, I'm trying to visualize when I will retire ...
