I'm sorry, but I really feel like whining now
I feel rather shitty. I had thought that the methods of teaching the French language would be in the spring semester - like the last year - and managed not to notice that this year it'd be in autumn. And these past two days I've been trying to track down the secretary and find out if I'm still in the uni at all (who knows, the way things are done here, they might have ex-matriculated me without as much as telling me) and what it is I can do to graduate this spring. I finally gave up and e-mailed her.
I really wish to graduate, even if I already feel that I never want to set foot in that place again. Mostly for purely pragmatic reasons, so that I could keep my job. And, mainly, just for the sake of having 'an education'.
I guess that's what happens if you study what you hadn't intended to study. I've had a lot of fun there - I rather liked the history of the French language and literature, and I also got to take classes in history, but now the fun is over.
On a brighter note, my instructor is returning to Estonia next week, so we're going to meet and discuss my research.
And I've got The Rolling Thunder Logbook (it's so much fun to read) and Sartre's Le mur which I haven't read in very many years and am reading in French for the first time.
And it appears that I've got 56 free days to use this year (because I hadn't used some of my vacation last year). I'm planning to take a smaller vacation in May, to tie all the loose ends at uni, and then a proper one in summer.
