In an ongoing effort to merge art with progressive politics and to make literature more central to my life, I'm going to be an English minor. Somehow, I ended up signing up for three literature classes for next semester. It will be different and challenging, as I've only taken one literature course in college and I think it was an exception in that there were no analytical papers involved. So next semester, I will be taking:

Intro to British Lit - with Aaron Matz, clearly brilliant, and slightly intimidating.
Travel Narratives - with Jamaica Kincaid. I couldn't resist the opportunity to take a seminar class with Jamaica Kincaid, a writer who is practically a household name.
Asian American Literature: Gender and Sexuality - with Warren Liu. Love! He is adorable, and extremely affirming.
South Asian Politics - With the new professor in the Politics department who specializes in India. Will be my first comparative politics class!
Painting I - Yay. :)
