WOW, THAT'S AWESOME. Actually, I took a class with Jaida last Spring which was just weird, mostly because I was afraid to introduce myself for fear I would come off the crazed fangirl/stalker.

I don't think it's exactly the same class because this is more general fantasy than specifically children's fantasy and there wasn't any application process. However, this class has Romanticism and La Guin, so I assert that it is even more enviable than the class you are remembering!
