i like to say "effing" a lot.
to follow up on the last entry.. i spent about an hour and a half talking with professor groton and restated/realized that modern french society and literature are not my passions.
in all reality, the french degree was only to be a fallback in case i can't do what i want. only problem is, the degree without the ability would really only come in handy in teaching, which requires a license. i.e. the language skill will still be recognized without the major, but i can't teach without the major or the license, neither of which i really want to get. hell, i don't even really want to teach in the first place. no effing textbooks that'd meet my standards, anyway. plus, little mofos don't wanna learn.
funny thing is, i decided to add a medieval studies major in lieu of the french major, but it's still less classes than i'd have to take for the french major.. i added a major 2nd semester of my junior year, and it requires less classes than the french major after 2 and 1/2 years of taking french classes and studying abroad. go effing figure.
and best thing is.. I CARE! and i can do an independent research on old french and have it possibly count for both the medieval studies major and the linguistics concentration.
this takes off such a weight. and solves so many problems. now i'm doing what i want, and it's less stressful anyway. boo ya.
