In the future there will be synonyms.
Dec. 23rd, 2009 09:19 amYesterday, the last of my grades for last semester came in. I managed to sneak an AB out of that weather & climate class, which finally popped my ongoing 4.0. After 53 credits, I have a cumulative 3.962. I think I can deal with that.
I have to apply for transfer to UW by February 1st. I have one letter writer on board - the teacher I had for English 1, Intro to Lit, and Creative Writing. I think I may ask my anthro teacher as well. I've been in a sort of 50/50 split on whether to pick lit/writing or anthro for a major. It has been suggested that I just double-major and do both, but I still have to choose one for my application. I'm leaning lit right now, mostly because that would also be my strongest letter. And, really, it's what I want to do. An eventual MFA certainly wouldn't hurt getting my foot int he door of some publishers.
Which means, I am going to have to finally get around to reading all those damned "classics" I have somehow missed in my odd education. My lit teacher was amazed I'd never read Updike. I've also never read Faulkner or Melville or many of the old white guys. I did read one Hemmingway short story. I've read Hamlet and Romeo & Juliet, so that's the extent of my Shakespeare.
I know, I am an uncultured, uncivilized heathen.
