Today's Rant:

furherevynnToday, I learned that the University of Alabama has a class known as
EN 311: Special Topics in Literature
Okay, cool. The textbooks/readings include "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte, "Maus: A Survivor's Tale" by Art Spiegelman, "Twilight" by Stephanie Meyer, "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Aus... Wait. What?
Let's look at that again. "Wuthering Heights", "Maus", "TWILIGHT".
T W I L I G H T AND to top it off? ALL. THREE. SEQUELS.
ARE TEXTBOOKS.
So it's either UA has officially declared Twishit and it's sequels to be on par with literary achievements such as "Pride and Prejudice" and "Wuthering Heights" (which, although I am not personally a big fan of either book...) and also comparing the series to the emotional story behind "Maus"...... Or... we can remember that the class is called "Special Topics in Literature", and we can hope that Twishit is the "What NOT to Do".
And that, is Evan's Rant of the Day, posted lovingly at work. Whoots.

In other news. Finals are over. I think I posted that earlier. But. I'm so excited about it. And. Today was move out day. So I get to move out and be home for approximately a week before moving BACK down here for summer classes!
