Due to the lack of elaborate information elsewhere, I have resorted to you. How exactly is ENG237? What books do you read and what kind of people are in the class? (the latter was a non-serious question, but feel free to answer it as seriously as you like)
Oh you poor thing! Your right-hand index finger must be all carpal-tunnelled from your exhaustive search for info on this course! And to think… you had to swallow your pride and stoop to my level to submit this question. Word to the wise, when you want advice from someone avoid the word “resort” – it carries connotations.????
?Anyway, now that you are at my resort, let me help you.
?a) How is it?
It’s good. As a conscientious aska reader, I’m sure you’ve noticed the five billion references made to the anti-calendar. So, you already know that ENG237 had a 78-80% retake and that people are generally obsessed with it. ?
b) What books do you read?
Despite the rumours that Aska has a supernatural mastery of the internet, even someone like you could take the 45 seconds required to find this site.
The reading selection is basically a Cruise-Spielberg lovefest peppered with some obscure works that only serious geeks know.
c) What kind of people are in the class?
This is actually one of the best questions I’ve heard all summer. While I’ve never taken an English course, I know that this one attracts much more than your typical introverted bookworms. Think: trekkie + elective…. trekective… trelektive… eltrektive.???? ?
This is unfamiliar territory for Aska, so I was forced to interrogate a friend who is of that persuasion. Here is a little something I call:
?”How to Spot A Trekkie”
-maintains poor hygiene
-randomly utters phrases in Klingon (or should I say in “tlhIngan Hol”)
-keeps a pair of Spok ears in their sock drawer
-believes in the supremacy of Captain Kirk over Pickard
-believes the Enterprise could beat the Millennium Falcon in a race
-is single
?
Even if you (gladly) don’t know a thing about Star Trek… you get the idea.
?
Don’t worry. There are still spaces left in the course…
?
Ps. If anyone is feeling insecure about themselves today… read this.

“Oh you poor thing! Your right-hand index finger must be all carpal-tunnelled from your exhaustive search for info on this course! And to think? you had to swallow your pride and stoop to my level to submit this question”
apparently flapping douches also take this class…just answer the question, there is no reason to make the asker feel like an idiot
N.D.
Haha well I completely disagree with Andrwe’s response..
If the asker insults you in the first line of a question to you, He definitely is an idiot.
And it’s perfectly reasonable for Aska to respond rudely.
