Depression. Wolves.

Yeah, angst.



At least, that's what my advisor told me today.

Seriously?! I mean, really?! I was shocked. I've heard so many other people that claimed to be both a literature major and a creative writing major, and I just, I don't know! But she said that a BA in English is a BA in English; I would need to declare to different department majors if I wanted two. Like History and English, or something. I mean... okay, yeah, I admit it, I'm a bigtime overachiever and I really wanted this. I don't know if this is just a USF thing, or what, because if it is, I'm going to be really pissed that I missed out on my opportunity elsewhere to get two majors.

So that kind of screwed everything up, as I thought I needed to take four more creative writing courses, etc. But, as it stands right now, if I understood everything correctly, I only need 21 more hours of Lit classes, 10 hours of a language course (UGHHH), 3 exit requirement courses (!!!), and, get this, 39 more hours outside of the English department. Holy moley. That's something I really don't want to do, but maybe I can find classes that can double as that and for my minor in History. I just have this horrible feeling that I'm going to screw this up righteously and not take the classes that I'm supposed to for graduation, thus not graduating on time, etc. But, I mean, really, who graduates on time, right? Ghhghasdjslafkj COLLEGE IS HARD.

Except, well, getting this email from my American Lit professor this evening KIND OF MAKES UP FOR IT:

Hello Sarah,

I would really like to use your midterm essay as an exemplary or near-perfect
student sample of this assignment for my future AML 3051 classes. I will remove your
name so that your essay remains anonymous. If this is OK with you, simply email me a
copy of your midterm essay in the form of a Word document attachment.

I do appreciate it. Your essay is remarkable for being well-written, articulate, and
engaging. Keep up the excellent work.

AHAHAH omg I am rather THRILLED. Especially when I thought I was just pulling stuff out of my ass. WIN.

Oh yes, AND, I wroted a 1900 word or so SPN piece here, mostly about the Metallicar, but I think the boys are in there a bit, OR SOMETHING.

Let me conclude this by saying DWIGHT, YOU IGNORANT SLUT. Ahaha I love it.

OH AND: I think my mom might have sent your mom an email about it, but we were thinking about April 29th (a Sunday) for everyone meeting up at the Cheesecake Factory? If it's too soon or whatever, though, let me know.

I'm taking Modern History I right now but with not with Boterbloem.. I suggest taking Modern European History II... it's a lot more interesting. Do you have to take both I and II for a minor? That's the case for history majors.. so if that's the case, go for it. but i'm a bit bored with the class.

I'm taking Imperial Russia, History of China, and History of Ancient Egypt... just in case you change your mind. Also, this summer I'm taking 1960's in American Memory. I'm pretty excited.

I almost signed up for WWI! Apparently the professor knows everything and anything about it but i changed my mind for that same reason. 8 am is too much to ask!

April 29th sounds like a plan. I'll definitely keep my schedule open. mmmm... cheesecake!
