What's bad about UNA? I mean I figure it's not the greatest school, but it can't be THAT bad can it? I don't really know because I've never been there.
the english department is decidedly sub-par. i know i shouldn't be here. my 200-level lit classes at belmont were much more challenging than my 300-level classes here. when my lit teachers praise stephen king and say that works i studied in high school are "too challenging" to be teaching college upperclassmen, i say we have a problem. it's jut not going to get me to the higher level that i want to be.
haha that is pretty sad. I've read a couple of Stephen King books that I liked, but I wouldn't say that he's challenging or even close to college english/literature books. So what are you going to do?
goodness, i don't know. i have to stay here for a little while longer, at least. i'm considering moving to nashville and establishing residency there because i don't reasonably see myself going somewhere in alabama and being satisfied. i'll never finish school. it's pretty sad. maybe i should just finish and deal with it but it's my education and i should be happy with it, right?
well I think there's always going to be frustrations and unhappiness in education, but OVERALL you should be happy with it. I mean I had teachers at Belmont and here at Southern that I haven't really liked and classes that I don't really think have been useful or good, but overall you should be happy with your education and the classes that you're taking. You should definitely finish at some point, my preference is always sooner than later, but you should try to find a place as fast as possible. I mean I'd say finish this semester for sure. It's already paid for and everything so no reason to back out now! That way you can get the credits even if they just count as electives. Sorry you can't find a place that you're comfortable in and happy with. I hope you get things worked out.
i'm definitely staying for the semester. so i'm not bailing or anything. people like to remind me that i was miserable at belmont, but i wasn't quite miserable. i don't know how to describe it, but i definitely know i wasn't horribly unhappy with the school [i loved my classes during my last semester at belmont] like i am horribly unhappy right now. i might have cried a lot last fall but this fall has already gotten off to a much worse start.
yeah, well hang in there, be in prayer about what to do, and remember that one positive thing is that you are there with a close friend, which is much better than it could be. You'll be in my prayers
