Hallo.

Not much happening this week. The usual Golfland trip on friday but before that, hang out session with Vereak, Mel and Val at Eastridge. Red Robbins...mmm :D.


The 60-page writing project [now dubbed WP] is a little tedious. It ain't hard, it's literally just a journal. Regardless, it managed to scare some people off in the first week. English doesn't get the recognition it deserves. It's pretty much equal to math in the real world but you don't see people running from math as often as you do English.

And you know what else grinds my shit?

You see all these vocational/prof. schools for computer programming, law, medical, automobile and cooking but not one specifically for English. Is it that general? Is it too general to have its own school? I know we all use it everyday but not everyone is proficient. Do you need to be proficient? "No", that's what you're probably thinking if you're reading this.

But you need to be proficient if you're doing law or medical for example. Am I right?

There are careers in the English field, numerous actually. But I see no post-grad. studies/schools for that. For everything else, there is. Why does English have to be singled out as generic? Does it mean that English majors are not as varied or versatile as say, nursing or CP majors? I believe people underestimate the need for English.

Perhaps I am speaking in favor because I am an English major myself.

Ah. The gripe of it all. Sometimes I'm afraid I think too much.
