Hurrah! Got some courses!

The sysadmin still lives, but not too long if I have anything to say about it. I can log in, which is good, but two-thirds of the courses I wanted to attend are already full. So I'll have to go and beg the teachers. Sometimes it works. Did last semester as well.

Consulting with the teacher was... interesting. She was 37 minutes late , so around 23 minutes remained from the one hour she promised us. Then she promptly started talking about allergies, and when I told her I have it from march to november, and I have it much harder than her, she promptly shut up about her 4-week long woes. (She is taking the mildest medicine, btw.)
After that, she told us a few things, got some tips (I relly hope those were tips), and then she dashed off. Got 20 minutes of talk with her - mostly about allergies.
You know, I really wish she would shave her armpits if she is wearing a sleeveless shirt, because man... It wasn't pleasant to look at. Not to mention that it is consiodered to be rude to tell a teacher that she could use some deodorant... So I didn't. God, a breath of fresh air never felt better.

Oh, and I managed to sign up for a few classes:
  • Teaching Practice Course (need the other one as well)
  • The History of Japan I. (1 of 2 semesters)
  • The Cultural History of China
  • Haiku Poetry
  • Holocaust in American Literature
  • Oil Wars in the 20th and 21th Century
  • Near East (history) I. (1945-2005)

And the courses I wish to sniffle myself in to:
  • The Life of the Vikings
  • Skandinavian and Celtic Mythology
  • History of Mythology
  • Chaucer
  • Arab-Israelian Wars
  • Egyptian Mythology ( did the Egyptian Religion course last semester with the same teacher)
  • and a pedagogy course (Cooperating Studying - in rough translation)
