argurotoxos: Midnighter holding balloons, waiting for his husband (Default)
To say that I'm not looking forward to going back to college is an understatement, but since classes start on Thursday, it's not really something I can procrastinate anymore.

I filled out the online application to change my Japanese major to a double Philosophy-East Asian Studies major yesterday. One of the effects of this is that I will not be taking Japanese this semester.

There are several reasons behind this. Philosophy I've been considering changing to my major for a while now, mainly because I've enjoyed all the philosophy classes I've taken over the past two years and have become more involved in the department over this past semester, so I don't think there's much explaining to do there.

Japanese is primarily because it's been become harder and harder to motivate myself in that class. I don't think it's where I want to go life-wise or career-wise and, after two and a half years with the same professor, I'm tired.

That doesn't mean I'm necessarily giving Japanese up entirely (it will certainly stay in my life, if only because of anime), but I am taking a break. Perhaps I will take Japanese 302 next year with another professor and change my major back; perhaps I will choose to spend my last year focused solely on Philosophy. In any case, it's something I shall have to decide at a later point, and when I have a better understanding of myself.

Thus, this semester will be dedicated to completing my general education requirements, Philosophy, and Alexander. I have some course changes to make on Thursday morning, but I expect my schedule for the semester to look something like this:

I also need to speak to the study abroad office and apply for a passport. The current program I'm eyeing is in Kingston on Hull, England; they have a Philosophy program and are near the sea.
