Let's start with the lovely weather. I don't usually go running on Mondays, but it was so freaking beautiful outside that I got home from class and just HAD to go! It hasn't been warm enough for me to go running (though other crazy fools do it - my hands get cold and I can't bundle up when running like I do when I go for walks). Then it was still warm enough for me to do some homework OUTSIDE!!! IN FEBRUARY!!!IN PROVO!!!! It is a miracle.
My English Professor brought little heart shaped balloons for us today and they made me really happy :)
I have no idea what to major in or where to live next year or what to do this summer. I have gone through so many options in my head. The most recent is going home for Spring/Summer term (mid April-August) and getting a job or an internship. That way I can get my home fill and return to BYU refreshed in the fall. The other options include just staying through spring/summer and that way I can just keep my apartment (I have my apartment through August and I can renew my contract) and I don't have to move, which I hate doing. I have also been looking into transferring.
I got into the English Teaching program which is basically an English major with a credential added on. I am so torn on the matter. As I was opening the letter to see if I got in, I was praying that I got the rejection letter. I couldn't even finish the letter after I read the "Congratulations!" That is a pretty big sign that it maybe isn't for me. But a degree in English is the only thing that I have a desire to do and there are few majors more useless than that. I do want to work at a school I think, but I don't know about teaching, at least I've figured that much out. ARGH so many choices!!!! I hate this.

Hey Laura! I'm sorry your so confused! I had that experience not too long ago but the answer will come with a little time. An english degree just by itself will give you a ton of opportunities. You can go to grad school if you want, you can work in advertising, PR, publishing, or if you decide its the right choice, teaching. English isn't as useless a degree as people think it is. My teacher actually showed a statistic saying that someone with a solid english degree can get into law school. That's pretty cool. If you ever need to talk, I'm here. Good Luck!
ReplyDeleteWord ashley, an English degree is not just about literature or writing, it's about excellent and effective communication. Hence the appeal law schools have to English majors. That's one of the main reasons I kept my english major was because it worked great for law school. Now I'm not going to into law, but I'm still keeping english..because I like it.
