So, I'll be taking a writing class in the spring with Prof. Watanabe and this other guy whose name I can't remember (Matambo perhaps?). I think the guy was an Oberlin alum, so that probably means he'll be cool. The class is called Geographies of Displacement, it's only 2 credits (otherwise I wouldn't have room to take it!), and it seems cool because I think it's going to be half writing/ half reading, and it's about exiled writers. There will be many visiting authors for the course. It sounds good, and I'm surprised it's not in the Comp Lit department ('cause I'm sure to get Comp Lit credit for it).
I'm going to be turning in my Honors application at the end of this week; in case you don't remember, I'm hoping to translate Benedetti's La Tregua (The Truce) for the Honors Project, and then writing up something on the practice of translation in relation to the theories of translation. Prof. Ali and Prof. Faber have agreed to be my advisors for it, so all I have to do is hope that my crummy GPA in the school (3.3ish when it has to be at least 3.5) doesn't get in the way. I'm considering mentioning my writing blog in the application...We'll see...
I've been sucking at posting in general lately. I'll put up the EXTRA EXTRAs soon. Promise.
