No PhDs, never ever.

I am thisclose to seriously consider doing a double major, but then another thought slipped in my head.

Is it possible to do a double minor? Or is that just completely ridiculous, how the heck are you even in college and not have known that?

Because I reeeeaally want to major in creative writing and minor in American/Brit Lit and history.


If not, I may just release my inner masochist and go for the double major creative writing/lit. Hum.

(Or should it be the other way around? Lit as the major, CW as the minor? Which is harder? Which will get me farther in life? Will it even matter? WHY DOES NO ONE WRITE A MANUAL ABOUT THIS?)


Also! Lost: The Musical. Because FatBastard!Hurley/Charley is OTP fer serious.

Ahaha, how crazy! Isn't that a ton of work, though? Well, yeah, mine's kinda different, I think. Here's our requirements, if you're interested. There's a loooot less classes to take for Creative Writing majors. Five compared to twelve for Lit. Good Lord! That's a lot. I don't know if I can critique and analyze writers that much. My brains will be oozing.

I really don't like making decisions. Man.

It's work, yeah, but I enjoyed most of it. And actually, it looks quite a bit like the requirements for the U of M, and if you look closely at the requirements for the Creative Writing option again, you have to take at least seven literature courses in addition to the five writing courses, which means you need 12 for either option and 17 for both. It works basically the same way at my school, I think, and I decided the five extra classes were worth my time.

And that leaves 13 more classes for me to take after this semester, adding up everything.

Oh brother. I just think I may do it. Eeek!
