As an English major, taking English 111 with Dr. Colby, the head of the English department, is somewhat daunting. After adjusting to the class and Dr. Colby's grading style, I believed things weren't going to be as bad as I had originally thought. And I was completely right... except for the cursed "Wives and Daughters."
Dr. Colby is famous for assigning this serially published, 19th century book and all of her previous students warned me it was going to be a rough and dreary read. However I didn't realize how true that statement was until I fell asleep four times while reading the first four chapters. I now have to set alarms for myself just to make sure I finished the assigned reading.
By October, we will finished this dreaded book, and as long as we don't have a final exam on it, I may actually continue being a potential English major.
ohh..how far have you come?
ReplyDeleteGlad I did not have to read that one! I had Dr. Colby for British Authors when I was a student.
