Oooh, the notebooks are so pretty! And wow at that building, too! I still have two weeks before school starts, and though I'm a bit sad the holidays are over, I'm also kind of excited, because I'll be taking many really interesting courses! Like American Literature, North American studies, a course on Gender studies, and this really interesting one called "Ideology, Politics & Propaganda in American Cinema". Yay!
I'm really pleased with the notebooks ^_^ Oh believe me, those two weeks will be gone before you know it! I remember when I still had two weeks left. Gosh, what happened? ;) Glad you're looking forward to it :) Those courses do sound interesting. I had no idea you were focusing so much on America :)
Yeah, I'm thinking about minoring(?) in North American studies. It's just such a huuuuuuge continent, and so diverse and colourful. Plus my boyfriend is half-american, so that's another reason for the interest. :3 I'm still thinking of another one I could minor in, like the gender studies, maybe. We're allowed to have up to two subjects besides English Filology, and I'm still quite undecided. :)
Interesting! ^_^ It's definitely very diverse, and with someone close to you having a special link to the area, I can see why you'd be interested. (Personally I'm leaning more towards Britain lately - but North America is so very interesting as well!) Is there anything in that variety of different 'colours' (so to speak) that attracts you particularly? :)
Well, I'm really interested in the religious history, and how it has become to affect how the whole society is (like the self-righteous expansion to the west, slaughtering thousands of indians and forcing them to leave their lands), the african american question is also very interesting to me. Basically, the whole american mentality seems so strange to me, and to look at the reasons behind it, well, it's interesting. :3 And truly, I don't have quite as black and white image of the americans as I might be portraying here, but that IS the most interesting part, I think.
