Have now withdrawn my registration for the summer economics class. Reasoning being, I can see how the poetry class will (or at least could) bring me joy while advancing my educational goals. The economics class, neither.

*thinks about taking a hiatus from the Internet*

*recalls that this task for Communication and Culture in Cyberspace class was only feasible by means of physically removing self from the presence of Internet connections*

*thinks about an Internet hiatus anyway*

(Y'all all lovely people, don't get me wrong. I'm just trying to spring-clean my life and I know one of the things that needs reevaluating is how much time I spend lazing about the Internet. Exactly as I am doing now, in fact...

The sentence "Everyone is entitled to their opinion" is NOT more inclusive of nonbinary folk than the sentence "Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion"? THANK YOU CIS PERSON I AM WISER NOW.

(Seriously, O Tweetster, if you wanted to criticize the first sentence on the grounds that it shuts down discussion—which I see from your next couple tweets is what you wanted to do—then maybe you shouldn't have made your first criticism of the sentence be correcting the pronoun(s) it contains.)

Huh. It is actually possible for all my clothes to fit in my dresser, bar a couple dresses in the closet. Imagine that.

Granted, "all my clothes" is two overflowing laundry baskets less than it was yesterday...

Oh, and I need to buy a new swimsuit before any trips to the beach or the pool, as the one I had is in those baskets on account of it no longer fits and I don't know why I bought it in the first place. (It doesn't have straps. It has strings. I suppose it would fit if I retied the strings, but it is skimpy as all hell and I don't want to wear it.)

oh shut up depressionbrain, you disguise yourself really poorly, I know perfectly well it's you

*empties dishwasher*
*runs laundry through washer, dryer, folding, and putting away*
*folds towels and sheets*
*weeds wardrobe* (hour and a half endeavor)
*vacuums living room*
*washes dishes*

I HAVE DONE NOTHING ALL DAY.

Looks like the only Ecampus QS course this fall is QS 262 Intro to Queer Studies. Which I've taken. That's good in that it means I only have to worry about twelve credits, not attempt fifteen, but bad in that it means I'm taking no courses towards that minor in the fall...

So my fall schedule I guess is as follows, since I believe I am definitely taking ASL not Spanish:

ASL 111 First-Year American Sign Language (4)
WGSS 414 Systems of Oppression in Women's Lives (4)
WR 424 Advanced Fiction Writing (4)

My winter schedule is also pretty much set:

ASL 112 First-Year American Sign Language (4)
QS 477 Queer/Trans People of Color Arts and Activism (3)
WGSS 270 Violence Against Women (3)
WR 420 Studies in Writing (w/ Dr. Detar) (4)

Spring is a bit more confused, of course. The ASL is for certain, and I'll do probably two of the other four:

ASL 113 First-Year American Sign Language (4)
QS not yet specified
SOC 471 Social Movements (4)
SUS 102 Introduction to Environmental Science and Sustainability (4)
WGSS not yet specified

And I believe I am going to not take summer courses unless I can pay for them in cash. This summer, since I'm only taking the one course (WR 341 Poetry Writing, four credits) and since I saved the federal tax refund money, I can do that. Next summer, who knows.

Fall registration starts a week from tomorrow.

Latest annoyance: The thing where apparently virtue (Latin virtus) in general and courage (Greek andreia) in specific are things that historically either women didn't have them (lolno) or women were pointedly denied them. Both virtus and andreia are alternately translated "manliness"!

(which just goes back to 'effeminate' being the worst possible insult to an ancient Greek, really)
