I've spent the morning immersed and thrilled by lists of class descriptions. This summer I turn sixty, and a friend told me this means I can audit University classes for free. (She's got hers all picked out.) I don't think they'll let me into any of the MFA workshops, but still there is undergraduate Fiction Writing. And all those other classes that will only improve my writing - Surveys in American Women's Literature! Asian-American Studies! The Folktale! A whole term studying Zora Neale Hurston! Or Chaucer! Caribbean Literature!
I can't wait until the Fall list of courses is released ( in March). I can't wait to be holding a syllabus. Really, it's exciting the way they have everything itemized and scheduled class by class And list required readings. And suggested readings. And order you to write papers. As someone who teaches herself things, it's comforting to leave the driving to someone else.
