Divisions and Precisions

Oh my. I'm in the

Oh my. I'm in the throes of a geekiness that's lasted for a couple of days now. Two of the classes I'm taking this semester are philosophy of art and something that's called "Writing about Literature", but really, it's an introductory course in critical theory--as in, different approaches and ideas about criticizing literature. I didn't really know there was such a thing until a a few years ago, and I'm riveted. I'm not sure I can explain why, but just all these pure ideas... I don't know. With the literary criticism, I feel like I'm eavesdropping on this extended and brilliant conversation and I'm dying to get involved. The art philosophy stuff is similar, but really only because I keep comparing it mentally to the literary ideas. I'm absolutely intrigued, and I'm at the point where I should be considering areas of study for grad school should I decide to go, after all...
