I'm working on my English essay right now. I started out really liking it, thinking it was a good piece of writing... only to find out that it rots. Sure it flows well, and the style is good... but everything else turns out to be pure crap.
Gah... I hate essays so much.
I can't be creative in them. I've tried that, and all that happens is that my points come out as being unclear because I'm being too abstract or not stating exactly what I'm trying to talk about. Well, sorry for making you think for yourself!
I'm seriously starting to question minoring in English. Before I was questioning about doing a double major in English and German, but figured that would be too much work. So I decided to minor in English and major in German. However, the courses I would have to take in English to get my minor are all essay based and critical analysis crap. The courses that I actually want to take (ie, Creative Writing I and II in third year, and Travel Writing in second year, etc) are all electives. That means that if I want to take all the courses that actually interest me, I'm going to have to take them in the summer or something because I simply don't have room during the fall and winter semesters.
It sucks balls. So in my second year, I'd have to take two fall courses and two winter courses that I really don't want to take, with no left over room for what I really want to take (ie, Travel Writing).
So I'm seriously thinking about screwing "minoring in English" and just take them for interest sake. I could minor in something else, but I don't know what right now.
So this is really bumming me out... that and my once "enjoyable" essay is now turning into yet another series of mindless ramblings. Structures just take all the fun out of things...
I don't know how my room mate finds essay writing fun...
She's just that crazy.
MIndless Ramblings...
