(no subject)
i really have no idea where i am in life right now..
1) i'm coming to realize slowly that i don't like my french major. i'm thinking of dropping it.. but i'm not taking action anytime soon, and i'm going to talk with a lot of people about it.
the thing is, french just isn't my passion anymore. i don't like the classes, and i don't like doing the work, because they aren't a challenge. they don't interest me. i don't really care about literature or contemporary francophone social issues. french was always a linguistic interest for me, as just one of many offshoots of latin. and they don't offer old french here, and you can't count independent research towards the major. i love speaking and hearing the language and studying in it especially, it's just that no matter what i take here, these aren't classes about [topic here] conducted in french, they're all french classes, i.e. "omg let's learn french FROMAGE MAUPASSANT hauh hauh hauh". (maybe i was in my element in france after all.)
i have 3-4 french classes left in 1 year, if i'm to go on with my french major... what do you think, people?
2) and as much as i love classics, i'm scared shitless of going on in it. people are so much more knowledgeable than i am, especially since, again, latin's just a linguistic interest for me. i don't care about the history, mythology, or literature that much. liking philosophy is as close as i get.
