Small Thing

[ceitfianna]

This is a small thing to be unhappy about but its still hard.

It turns out that I won't be able to take any sort of humanities course this summer. Instead I'll probably end up taking grant writing, which will be incredibly useful. No one wanted to work with me in doing translation and none of the undergrad things would fit my interests. Also none of the various humanities departments even do graduate courses during the summer, not history, English or Classics.

I don't understand this, it doesn't seem like the smartest thing for the university to do. That's just me though, I just wanted to take something fun since I was going to do something for the summer. Okay, this is my whine about it. I've found a course I can take, its only three hours every week and it will let me graduate. That's the part that counts.

*hugs* That's a shame, but maybe if it's only three hours a week you could set your own humanities project to read for fun?

Yup, there's always lots of interesting stuff going around campus so I'll find something.

At least grant writing can be really really useful?

[ceitfianna]

Yup and this is a course that a lot of SI people take so I know its useful. I'm just sad.

[silveraspen]

Yeah. :( I'm sorry.

I'll find other stuff to make the summer fun.
