Summer Online Course
I am two credits behind and need to catch up before next semester otherwise I will not be able to register until a day after all the other juniors. D:
So I am taking a summer course at the local community college. Which is a third of the price than taking an extra class (and overloading my schedule) next semester.
Being introverted/semi-antisocial/cynical/etc, I wanted to take an online course so I would not have to leave the comfort of my own computer/home.
Luckily enough...there's an online Literature of Science Fiction course! Sweet! Finally, a literature class where I can read stuff I enjoy, instead of realistic-fiction novels written 150 years ago that I can not relate to today (cough*Jane Austen*cough). Sci-Fi is great because I can escape the real world, which is going downhill enough as it is.
The first assignment is Frankenstein, and then two collections of other stories. While "older," I hope/think they will be fine. It is sci-fi after all.
Here is the best part: the final exam (both exams have to be taken on a campus--darn) consists of writing an essay on popular culture sci-fi. The instructor listed quite a few examples (favorites including Star Wars, Stargate, and...Doctor Who!), but I might ask (as she told us to) if I can do something on Firefly or Dollhouse (in the end it will come down to what I believe I can write on the best).
