History is another favorite of mine, and I thought it was eminently sensible of you to teach and write about it.
That's a refreshing change from the reaction I usually get when I say what I do. Usually, the other person casts down his/her eyes, and mumbles something about how he/she hated the subject in high school, since the high school teacher was the reincarnation of either Prof. Binns (who has many siblings, apparently) or Prof. Snape.
A science fiction lit course? Yeah, stupid to take 20 credits while you're working. Umm, sort of a no-brainer, considering how hard it was to get through this last quarter. I'm quite sure that you possess enough self-control to refrain from enrolling in that course. *said in a reassuring tone*
unless you can take it pass/fail, and still have the credits count for the last 3 you need?
