oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Looks like I didn't get into COVA. So I added "The Rhetoric of Satire" instead. But I'm gonna go kiss up to the COVA prof next quarter and see if she'll let me in, cause I really don't want 3 hard classes, and one medium class. (This quarter has been 1 HARD class, and 3 medium-hard classes)

Here are my current standings:

Mon/Wed:
9:00-10:20 Rhetoric of Satire
1:30-2:20 PE: Intro Modern Dance

Tu/Thu
9:00-10:20 Soci: Race/Ethnicity
10:30-11:50 Sosc: Power Identity Resistence
12:00-1:20 Bios: Integrative Bio
(Thu: 1:30-4:30 Bio lab)

Friday: nothing!

Issues:
- have the hard soc class, one sociology class, one eng class, and am trying to audit history class. Looks a little intense. (but fun!) I shall keep close eye on reading/paper levels and decide which one to audit and which ones to keep.
- *need* to get into COVA 101 b/c I need to satisfy my arts/music requirements, *and* be able to take painting classes next year.
- only fulfilling Soc Core and PE requirements. I still have 2 arts/music, and 2 civ. yeesh.

Add:
29201 The Rhetoric of Satire
Focusing on satire in visual, poetic, dramatic, and fictional form, this course will concentrate on the analysis of strategies used in the various forms to ridicule targets of satire directly as in formal verse satire and indirectly as in Menippean satire. The course will be particularly concerned with the examination of strategies used to penetrate the defenses surrounding a reader's or spectator's belief system and then to devastate some part of it. The course will begin with drawings by Hogarth, Gilray, and Rowlandson, the satires of Juvenal and several short works by Burns, Browning, cummings, Sassoon, and others and continue with a selection of plays by Aristophanes, Jonson, and Moliere; novels by Huxley, Twain, and others. Students can expect to participate in readers' theater presentations of scenes from plays and to write several short interpretive papers of three to 15 pages and an original satire.
Hillocks, Jr., George
MW, 9:00-10:20

I don't think I can do this. I *have* to get into COVA!
