I may be getting a second poem published! I had to do a rewrite of a part of Canterbury Tales, when the wife of Bath is introduced, and my teacher left a comment that I "must submit it" to be published for the schools publication. My story is about a wife from a very tiny town in Indiana (population less than 20), entirely fictional, who cooks meth (this is Indiana, after all), has a gambling problem which causes her to often be naked (it does come from Chaucer, after all), and whose big butt is something Sir Mix-A-Lot likes.
In one my philosophy classes, which revolves around Nietzsche and Foucault, I have to do online forum posts to discuss/debate the things talked about in class with classmates. I was working with someone in the class last night, and she got a text from someone else in the class telling her to tell me, with a very straight and serious face, to quit posting because I'm making everyone else look really bad.
My other philosophy class I'm going to ask the department head if I can test out of it. It is a great inconvenience of a few hours every other weekend, when I have so much other homework to do, to label if I think a sentence is a statement, question, expression, or whatever, or label a sentence if it is best understood as an argument or explanation. I need for the philosophy minor, but it is a total waste for me to be in the class.
