At eight this morning I fell in love with a genre all over again...

... I remembered back to when I first beheld the beauty and wonder that is gothic literature. It was amazing, it was astounding, it makes me want to hole up in the Panasci lounge and read The Castle of Otranto this weekend. Tho I should read Gothic first. I have made the executive decision to buy a desktop calendar. I think that's the solution to organisation.

Anyways! Gothic class is amazing. She nixed the Dorian Gray but I forgive her. The class looks absolutely phenominal. We're going to be focusing on recognising the conventions of the gothic novel and how those conventions have been utilized and changed throughout the course of history, and what they meant in their social and historical contexts.

Then Psych. The prof is scottish or something, he's insane, it's so fun! I may be singing another tune later, but for now, I'm happy.

And finally, the icing on the cake, my writing class that focuses on gender and sexuality issues. The professor is a lesbian. The class looks a little queer too. The mood and atmosphere of the class is just awesome! We instantly got talking, and everyone seems very familiar, which is great. We're watching the best movie, Ma Vie En Rose. It's about this 7 year old boy who is still dressing in girls clothes -- he wants to be a girl and his parents aren't understanding. Quote of the day! "I'm going to marry Jerome when I'm not a boy."

Then I visited Bruce. <3 Bruce. I'll have to catch him at a better time though, he had a class at 12:30.

The next orders of business are: location and consumption of food, textbook/supply returning/buying, reading/studying. :)
