Who's there?

[lettered]

Since I haven't been posting much these days, I don't know how it's happening, but new people keep popping up on the ole flist. So, hi! And I figure it was about time I did one of these.

Tell me about yourself! You can answer the questions, or some of the questions, or none, but tell me something. Even the people who've been here for ages, I'd love you to answer too, or tell me what you're doing these days. Like I said, haven't been all that active in ljland lately, so it'd be nice to hear from everybody. You're also welcome to reply even if you only lurk. I am friendly and only bite if you ask.

Well, I was an English major, and I loved lit, so pretty much all of my lit classes were awesome. One of the best was taught by Alan Grob, who recently died. Which sucks (on many levels, but selfishly) as he was doing all of my recommendations.

If Justin Cronin is still doing Creative Writing, you should get him.
If you can get Zammito for any history course, do.
Scott McGill is the most awesome Latin teacher ever (again, if you can get anything with him, I would).
I took a Greek Civ class that was awesome, but that was because it was mostly Greek lit, and now I can't find the prof...
Is Terrance Doody your advisor? His post-modern lit class isn't the best (and he isn't the best prof), but the books we read in there were AWESOME (er, though dense).

I can possibly put you in touch with some people who majored in psych and linguistics (my sister-in-law) if you really want to talk to someone. But I understand the whole undecided thing.

Another thing that helped me socially was studying abroad. I didn't have many friends at Rice so I didn't feel like I was missing out, and it was a wonderful experience. (I just went to the UK).

O-Week happened like that for me too. And it was weird because my roomies and suitemates didn't seem to want to be friends. I personally have a hard time living with people I'm not close to.

Thanks for the class recs; I'll definitely look into some of those. Professor Kemmer is my advisor, and she's great to talk to, but she didn't know much about classes not related to ling or psych.

I am considering studying abroad. I'd prefer to go to Japan, but that relies on me learning Japanese, and I'm really bad with languages. I'd be happy with either the UK, Australia, or New Zealand too.
