Tentative plans for the future

lectrix_lectiI've asked about what kind of grades it takes to get admitted to the master programme in general literature, and was told that sure, my grades will do nicely.
I just might start. A course or two a term, and a term's leave to finish the dissertation. Hmmm.
Of course, I regret that I didn't go for linguistics instead of literature. I did a few terms' worth of linguistics and philosophy of language, but I spectacularly failed my master level semantics exam... I also regret that I didn't just go for Japanese or Portoguese or some other pretty pretty language.
Since I can't get the master studies started until autumn at the earliest, maybe I should find a nice evening class in some language or other. Maybe German-for-people-who-really-know-the-language-but-have-gotten-rusty. Or French in the same vein.

Date: 2006-02-02 03:20 pm (UTC)I think I'd be swayed by picking something up that I kinda knew - i.e. the german or french in your case
Japanese looks pretty but doesn't sound it
Do you know Afrikaans ?

Maybe I should try to find a Dutch class.
