Actually, it's not so bad. Medieval lit is just stuffed full of blood, gore, and sex. It's like going to see and R (or NC-17) rated movie everyday.

Nice! I'm probably going to get a minor in Japanese.

So you don't hate yourself enough to go for the major?

Pretty sweet. If you have a chance try taking a class on classical. Whole different ballgame than Tokyo standard, and pretty necessary if you want to read even slightly older texts. That and it's fun (did I mention the violence?), and modern grammar makes a whole lot more sense afterwards.

My guess is: Cause it's required and he put it off as long as he could!

That's what I did.

Cus.. they fill our schedules with all the hard classes early, then our Senior year, fill the gaps with Senior Design (which utilizes the skills from the hard courses), then fill the gaps with the electives to fill our 'required' crap that the university mandates.



Done... and as for grades... well, they are what they are.

I don't see many engineers brag about their grades I just see them bragging that they passed.

I don't think the minor will go that deep, but we'll see.
