A response to the class so far...

To be quite honest, I had NO IDEA what "Post Colonial Literature" was going to be about. The description online sounded interesting and it fit into my schedule, so I signed up. On the first day of class I was pleasantly surprised when I learned what the format of the class was going to be like. The freedom to choose was to read, and to then teach the class about a topic sounded really interesting to me. However, at the same time the obvious intensity involved in the work for this class scared me a little. With an already jam-packed schedule, I began to worry that I would not have a time to accomplish all that was nessecary. Now, after being three weeks into the semester, I feel much better. I think my initial worry was simply a result of the overall shock of being back in school after a long summer vacation. The idea of choosing my topic and what books to read for it actually excites me. As an education major, I am looking forward to being able to 'teach' the class about my topic and its literature. If nothing else, this class should be an interesting experience.
