"It is the first day of spring// And my life is starting over again"

Feb 03, 2011 22:17

The new term has started. For me, this means six courses and two (bachelor) theses. Why two, you might ask? Well, I had originally intended to write those in the first term of the next year, but then the government maliciously intervened with a new law, which basically fines any and all students extending their majors with over a year. (To the tune of an annual 3k. I don't have 3k.) Which, I get it's recession, but it's a bit unfair to spring this on students who are already mid- or near-the-end of their bachelor's and don't even have the time to take any sort of measures against this. I am already extending one year (I swapped between majors, netting me a loss of one year) and had I known about this new law, I wouldn't have taken on an additional major on top of my Literature one.
Oh well. I will cope. I will just have to shoulder it and work hard.

Good news, though: five out of six courses are fun! Three are literature courses, one is on comics and one on translation. The not-fun/boring on is on sociolinguistics, and is basically a repeat of all my other linguistics classes. *yawn*
Also, there is a Cute Guy in two classes who takes the same train as I do!
Will have to start a conversation.
Maybe.
Maybe he'll start it first.
That would be better.
