Back at Wheaton

I have been back at Wheaton for a little over a week, and I think it is time for an update. Having need to state a few things, I have taken up once again the title of blogger. The list shall soon commence.

This semester will most definitely be insane. Not only do I have PHIL 312, History of Philosophy, deemed the hardest class at Wheaton, by many a student and professor, I will be reading over 2000 pages in my other classes alone! That's what I get when I take an English class.

Speaking of English, I am contemplating the idea of dropping my Ancient Languages major (switching to a minor, which would then be done by either summer or the end of next fall), and picking up, you guessed it, an English minor or major, specifically with a writing concentration.

Once again, speaking of writing (I love transitions and overusing them), I am making serious progress into my science-fiction novel. I am already on page six. Because of all the work that I have this semester, I have taken up writing as therapy. Every night before I go to bed, I sit down and I just start typing out my story. Hopefully, my progress continues to be stress-relieving, instead of the cause of it.

I am back. And I have hit the ground running.

Why?

that's a rather open-ended question. care to elaborate or qualify?

Sorry. Why drop the ancient languages major? Why an English major? Why a writing concentration? Not that I wouldn't support it - Erin and I called this several months ago, you may recall - I just wonder why.

I will write a post about it at length then.
