University

[nirinia]

I sat through my first lecture today, and, by heaven, I am still high on English. The professor just assumed we knew what iambic pentameter (and he seems to have a thing for the antepenultimate rule; he stressed pentameter three consequent times) and trochees are. I've mentioned them in connection with blank verse before, and now I need to figure the bloody things out. But, oh, it was so much fun!

We went to talk to some people after the lecture, and not only did they volunteer to answer any questions we might have, another associate professor impressed on us that should the fancy strike us we are more than welcome to stop by, perfectly unannounced, and talk to him. I now have several very highly educated people at my disposal, should I so desire. And I get to partake in the most wonderful lectures and groups. This is fantastic! I love university, I am home!
