mothwingShe is the nicest person in the world, my adviser of study.
Even though she did not like my course choices.
At all.
I wanted to do English Literature, Psychology, Gaelic and Russian, if possible Comparative Literature, which looked great.
Yep, it is rather a lot, but not thaaat much.
My adviser listened to my choice, then shook her head and said that choice was suicidal and if she advised me to take that, she would have the Chief Adviser come knocking at her door asking her angry questions because it was so utterly inadvisable. So, three courses maximum. Why? Whywhywhy? Last year I have done... 11 courses, I think. Areet, that was too much, but it is possible.
After some discussion she told me that she had another German advisee who did four courses and did alright, and that she knew it was not much of a problem for some people - and lo and behold, who was that advisee? Julez or SnapeRulez!! Such a coincidence. Now I get to do four courses, although my choice was altered to English Literature, English Language, Psychology and Russian. Without ELang I technically would not be allowed to do my Single Honours in English Literature (IF I stayed for more than one year, which I won't), thusly she advised me strongly to do Language as well. Now I am stuck with another Linguistics course, gah. I tried to swap it against Scottish Literature or Comparative Literature, which I really wanted to do as well... and failed.
Crocky is doing Psy, ELang and a Music course, I think. I bet it'll be great to be at the same university and in the same courses as she is again!
Today we're going to matriculate, courses apparently do not start until the 27th of September. Some more free time and then, finally, the courses. Russian!! Whee!
My brother is going to visit us some time at the beginning of October, I am really looking forward to that already, too.
So, have a nice week,everyone! Hugs to all.
