Aww...it seems that English really weakens the spirits, when you take it as a degree. I know the feeling...though I chickened out in trying to change my BA and decided to stick with it (a decision that I find myself regretting at times...sigh)

D: I seriously understand about English-related things murdering one's soul (ironically, also having to do with hobbits and Isengard, as mine comes in the form of a class called "Tolkien and Medieval Roots"). Just bawled my eyes out to my parents because I'm convinced my teacher is going to think I'm stupid because of my last journal entry (I hypothesized at length wondering which universe the Lord of the Rings takes place in, and what Tolkien was referring to by "Middle"-Earth; a chronological time period or the Anglo-Saxon understanding of earth being in the "middle" of heaven and the realm of the dead. Except that in the last thing we read this was made terribly clear, making my ramblings totally unnecessary and dumb.)

Good for ye taking charge of it, though! I really hope ye'll be happier majoring in geology. I hear it rocks. *ba-dum-TSHSH!*

And ye don't sound mean or shitty at all. Ye sound fed up with being soul-crushed, and ballsy enough to do something about it. GO YE!

Well I really hope that you are much happier with the Geology degree. And poo poo on the represive English degree. Woot that your laptop has recovered from its stroke. I hope that mine becomes un-gimp soon. My dad tripped over it and ripped the power chord out, and now it won't hold a charge and I have to hold the chord in at a weird angle for it to have power. Boooo.
Ahem. Once again, I hope you're happy with your new degree!

Those that can't "do", teach, right?
Most profs KILL the love of the subject--Hey that writing background will only help when you need to write books/articles on the Geology subjects....and won't talk over or bore the audience, ne pas? There's a lot of dry drivel out there that could inspire people scientifically if they were written with f'in character.
I'm a firm believer that all education is beneficial somewhere in your career path--whether it seems so at the time or not. (coming from someone that went from opera/theater major-->world government/political science major--->to graduated BFA artist.) There's a god-awful pill in there somewhere.

GOOD luck.

Today's fan parody has been brought to you by the suffix -ing; as in violating, copyrighting, but also forgiving and not-suing.

I must have missed a journal. Why did you give up on English? I thought it was perfect for you! I'd like to chat with you again sometime.

I'm sorry to hear that they drove the passion out of you. Whatever you go for you'll do well in, I'm sure. Keep your chin up and your finger erect, you'll get through it.

While normally I would say that you are insane, I've switched my major three times (pharmacy, music and science ed, and now finally English ed), so I am not really in the position to point fingers anymore x3; I hope that you have more fun in geology, then! If anything is a spirit-killer, it's a music major. It sucks all the fun out of music, it really does.

took me a full BA to realise Psych wasn't my calling... and another 4 years after that to finally come out as a spastic artist ;D

Cheers HB. Keep the love.
