To Infinity, and Beyond!
Jun. 15th, 2008 12:53 pmI've decided: I shall get a master in English. While both law and psychology is infinitely tempting, I don't think I can bare not fiddling with languages. And I will do Russian on the side. And I will shanghai my Russian-speaking relatives into talking with me. And I will make sure there is no trace of Norwegian in my English. And I will read so much silly things my head is full of it. And I will buy that critic I spoke of earlier, and worship him with zest (yes, zest, the word is appalling, but it works).
I desperately want to do my master at Oxford, and so there is only one thing to do: excel at everything I do the next three years. Perhaps I'll land myself in our thoroughly arrogant Ministry of Foreign Affairs when I'm done studying. Or do a master in law. The prospect of bantering for a living is infinitely appealing, though I would only work as a barrister. And that is a bit limiting, considering that it is most likely what all law-students want.
Anyone asking what I'll do when I have finished deserves nothing less than my best Snape-interpretation. No less, I tell you. I might call them something nasty/nifty in Russian, for good measure. I also suspect Russian grammar and cases is hellish.
There is still a degree of separation anxiety from upper secondary, but I'm improving. The prescriped dosage of fiction and people is helping.
