Skool
So... I discovered that Gilman finally changed my grade for thesis to an F. I'm very not surprised, but I contacted him anyway to see if I was still a student at MBC. He said, yes, I'm still a student, I just failed the class. I have to register for the class again, propose a thesis, gather my committee, all of it. Well, fuck that. (Though I didn't say that to him.)
Then I started a thinkin'. What if I tranferred? I actually thought about transferring to Cincinnati back in sophomore year. (Think of it, Marissa- we never could have met. King never could have happened.) I wanted Cincinnati because that's where my family was. But now, now I can go wherever I want. And I've always wanted to move back to New Mexico. So then I looked at universities in New Mexico. I've always wanted to live in Taos, but that's full of community colleges. I've also wanted to live in Santa Fe but the College of Santa Fe doesn't quite offer what I really want. And then there's Albuquerque and the University of New Mexico.
UNM is a major player in the anthropology world, mainly because New Mexico is such an archaeological center. And do you realize what I could major in at UNM? Classical studies. With a minor in GREEK. And do you know what else they offer? A Master's in archaeology. My dream of studying ancient Greek ruins could actually happen.
The whole point of majoring in religion and minoring in anthro was because it was the closest I could get to studying ancient religions. I took Gilman's stupid Greek Myth and Religion class to learn more. I took Ritual and Symbol to analyze better. I took James' Greek and Roman Art to study as much as possible. When I took classes at University of Missouri, I took Roman History because they didn't offer Greek History. I studied Greek on my own, particularly junior year. That's all I wanted to do.
Now I realize I lose a lot of credits leaving MBC and I need money and everything, but this sounds like it could actually work. What do you think?
