Graduation
At the moment, I am supposed to graduate in the summer of 2007. That's officially though, because even with being in Commonwealth college, I will definitly be able to in two more semesters rather than those 3 semesters. But then I noticed this weekend when I was looking to see if I'd like any minors (I don't think so), that I can probably graduate this coming summer... that's provided that I do decide not to do the honors path. It wouldn't be very difficult to finish up with honors I think, just another semester and a thesis project, for which I can translate manga or so I'm told; and I've done 5 volumes of one manga already, not that any thesis evalutator would have to know that. The only snag with that is the tuition. Since I'm an out of state student it's costing me about $14,000 per semester to study here.
Well I was thinking that this is too hard and important a decision to make by myself, so I planned to go to my advisor during his office hours today. And so I did. He told me that I should apply for JET, which was an idea I had for if I graduate early (the other idea was grad school), because the deadline for the JET program starting next fall is December 1st, and I could always decline, or maybe I won't even get in. So I should do that and he says that if I don't get in, I should pursue the honors because when a student applies for grad school directly from undergrad, all the the evaluators have to work with is your undergrad records. But if I do get into JET, as I was thinking, I'd could graduate and work for the program for a year which would make a good dent in the loans I'm having to take out to be here.
But the funny thing... one of the first questions he asked me is what do my parents think lol... I hadn't really thought about asking them... o.o So I'll be calling them around eight, that should place them in rush hour traffic back in California.
Ohhh yeah and Chomsky was mostly unintelligble and in the lecture... boring, oh well, I breathed his air.
