Well, since I posted about what a nerd I am. You know, how I was ready for classes to start again. How I was checking every day to see if my class was up.
Yeah, it is up. It is definitely up.
Here’s the story (of a lovely lady), the class is called The Short Story, obviously because we are studying the short story genre. It is a summer course that lasts about 8 weeks, which means that it is a bit concentrated.
I knew this. I knew that it would likely be intense. I knew that it might get overwhelming.
I had no idea that we would be required to read one short story* every day**.
Nor that we would be expected to post 3 to 4 discussion board posts every day.
For 8 weeks.
Intense? Yeah, I’d say so.
*Including The Death of Ivan Ilyich, which is almost a novel unto itself.
**Every day, in this case, means Sunday through Thursday.
Any horribly depressing (i.e., wonderful) modernist American stories? 🙂
