We have lift-off

Or at least a good spurt of energy. Yesterday I got a very discouraging email saying that five of my six courses selected had been brutally rejected. So I sat down, looked back through all of the courses offered and what credits I needed to get while I was there, and found myself (almost) all new courses. And lo and behold, with shocking promptitude they have responded to me with a completed and confirmed schedule. Huzzah! I have courses! And they're INTERESTING. I mean, I actually really do want to take ALL of these courses.
Here's the email I was sent today (okay, I asked someone the other day why whenever people forget my name they call me Heather, and she said it's because I look like a Heather... but then explain to me why in correspondence the same thing happens!)

Dear Heather,

Thank you for your email. You are now registered for a full course load
of 120 credits as follows:

Semester 1:

U00757 Music 1A: Music in Social Contexts
U01284 Tragedy & Modernity
TH9990 Feminist Theology

Semester 2:

U02764 Her Own Life?
U01595 History of Art 1B (VS2)
DV0163 Christ in Late Medieval & Renaissance Art

Unfortunately Ideology and Literature no longer has spaces available for
Exchange students. I have enrolled you for the semester 2 only variant
of History of Art as this fits in to your schedule better. I hope you
are satisfied with the above allocation. If you have any queries please
do not hesitate to contact me. You should receive joining instructions
shortly if you have not already.

I look forward to meeting you in September.

With best wishes,
Karen

So there you go. Both Heather and I have an excellent course load. I'm particularly excited about the Christ in Art course, because apparently gallery visits are a key part of the course. Yay gallery visits! This year is gonna RULE.
