Uni Rant

Can you say incompetent? Can you say inept? I'm sure people at our student's office at the Uni can cuz after all, it' their name. You know The Incredibles? Well, these people should be called The Incompetents. Seriously. I've left my student's book there about 2 months ago waiting for the approval of taking some second year's classes. Finally it was done yesterday and I took my student's book back. Only to find out that they have put a class that is neither one of Croatian nor English study's class. It's insane. I am apparently taking the Managing of Informational Institutions now. What the fuck is that? I asked for ENGLISH LITERATURE, for crying out loud! So now I have to go back there on Wednesday and have it fixed. I don't believe it.

I've started working on my book report. It turns out I won't be doing Harry Potter after all but The Monk Downstairs. It's shorter (duh!) and I haven't read it before and it deals with a lot of issues so I'll have plenty to write about.
That's not the case with a paper I have to write for my lit class (why am I bothering when I'm apparently not taking it is beyond me). It's supposed to be based on 30ish lines of Sir Gawain and nothing else. We're not supposed to do any research of the secondary sources, just take these lines, come up with a thesis based on them, and write an 800 words paper defending our thesis. Believe me, you cannot draw a thesis out of that snippet. In fact, see for yourself.

`Good morrow, Sir Gawain,' said the lady fair, 'full carelessly thou sleepest that one can thus creep into thy chamber. Now art thou taken unawares, and I shall bind thee in thy bed, of that be thou well assured.' Thus laughingly the lady uttered forth her jestings. 'And,' quoth Sir Gawain, 'Good morrow, gay lady; it will be well pleasing to me to be at thy service, and I yield myself thereto, and desire thy favour as must needs be.' Thus did he dally with her with full glad laughter. 'But wouldst thou, lovely lady, be so good as grant me leave to rise and thus to set free thy captive? for I would fain rise from this bed and put on my robes, so should I talk with thee with greater comfort.' 'Nay, for sooth, good sir,' said that sweet one.' Thou shalt not rise from thy bed. I will give thee better counsel. I will cover thee up in thy bed and hold converse with my knight, whom I have taken prisoner, for I wis that thou art Sir Gawain, whom all the world doth worship wheresoever thou dost ride forth. Thy worth and thy courtesy are praised alike by lords and ladies and by all living. And now thou art here with me alone. My lord and his people are gone far away, and the other men are in bed asleep, and also my maids. The door is fast closed and secured by a strong bolt. So, since I have in this castle the man whom all love, no time will I be losing while it doth last,

In address.

Of me have thy will,

For thou shalt me possess.

Thy servant I am still,

As is fitting, I confess.'

`In good faith,' quoth Gawain, 'I think it would be gain for me were I not he of whom thou speakest, for to attain such worship as thou dost offer me herewith I wot well I am unworthy. By God, I should be glad, if it seemed good unto thee, to do thee service or pleasaunce in word or deed, and a pure joy it would be unto me.'

I know no one will read it but if some happens to anyway and comes up with an idea, I'm open to suggestions.
