This Man Has Just Sold Me on University of Oregon

I've been rethinking my future plans and considering looking beyond Washington for Graduate School. Knowing that Mita (favorite prof) got her PhD at University of Oregon, I thought I'd check out their programs. Not only do both their English Literature and Creative Writing programs sound amazing, but there's also a really good chance that both Trevor and I would be able to get tuition waivers and stipends that would make it possible for us not to have to work (except as TAs) all the way through Grad School, which would be a dream come true.

U of O was already beginning to sound pretty great when I stumbled upon the course listings for next Fall. I'm basically sold on U of O based on this class synopsis, and am determined to take a course from this professor if I do end up going to U of O:

"ENGL 579: Top C. Dickens. Stein, Richard.
Is Dickens the greatest Victorian novelist or the greatest novelist of all time? After 4-5 novels, you can decide for yourself. We'll read, we'll write, we'll laugh, we'll cry, we'll speak in Cockney accents. Some films may be shown. Tea will not be served."

I have never met this professor, yet I already love him.
