"Are all Classics majors crazy?"

Am only on p.12 of Tam Lin, and am already tempted to burst out with "Yes. But then, we're all mad here." Ah, Wellesley.

Oh actually I took the Romantic Poetry class at wellesley and loved it. I loved reading all the poems and studying my favorite poets (Blake and Keats). And I liked analyzing those poems, I especially loved my paper about the transitions in Keats "Ode to a Nightengale". For me analyzing the poems myself (as opposed to hearing someone else do it) gives me a way to rationalize why I love a certain poem. When I first started reading Blake back when I was 12 I loved the poems but really didn't know why, I just did. Then I took the class and could give reasons.

But Goddesses, Queens and Witches is also an amazing class with Prof. Bernat. He's so funny and wonderful. I loved that class as well.
