Pancakes and dancin'

Was actually able to register for classes today without difficulty. Am I the only one? I was so happy and surprised, and I actually got all of the classes that I wanted. Missed a couple of my classes today because I was sitting at home, anxiously awaiting the disaster that usually is registration, but everything went smoothly. Whatever, it's a reasonable excuse!

Fall 2007 will be my first semester as a history major. I'm not taking any GER or PD req. (thank GOD), but I am taking 6 classes (the dance class is only 2 credits). The classes I'll be taking are on topics that are actually of interest to me, and some of these professors have come recommended by people I trust. So here 'tis:

Dance 145 - Fundamentals of Ballet (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays)
Engl 377 - 20th Century American Fiction (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays)
Cla 101 - Classical Mythology (Tuesdays and Fridays)
Hist 341.40 - Germany Since 1914 (Tuesdays and Fridays)
Cla 250 - Greek and Roman Tragedy (Tuesdays and Fridays)
Hist 341.11 - Roman Empire (Mondays and Wednesdays)

For the Classical Mythology class I've got a professor named Kowerski III. I haven't heard anything about him, and though Bernardo and Salemi come recommended, their classes didn't fit into my schedule. The professor for the German history class is Hett, and Branko V. Oppen (<3) is the professor for Roman Empire. I hope neither the Greek and Roman Tragedy class nor the 20th Century American Fiction class are busts. Hopefully, we'll read some Fitzgerald and Nabokov for the latter. I have Thursdays off and only one class on Mondays.

Went to a tango class and practica the other night, and lemme tell you somethin' putas. Dancing tango feels a bajillion times better than any kind of rebound lovin', because not only is it fun and a pleasure, but it makes one feel accomplished.

Waked and baked with F. today. He makes the most perfect pancakes you will ever see or taste. Seeing a man cook (like a wizard, may I add) all by himself is such a joy. Pancakes with honey >>>> pancakes with maple syrup. In reflection, this was a great day! Waking and baking, eating great pancakes, watching Charm School while stoned, and getting all of the classes that I wanted! Yay! (:

Did I also mention that I have the apartment to myself for the rest of the month? YYEEISS 'TIS THE TRUTH. I really should have a gatherin'.
