To Infinity, and Beyond!

I'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.

What is a barrister?

[nirinia.livejournal.com]

Just a British word for lawyer, really. Colloquially, at least, it means a lawyer with the right to appear in court; a solicitor does not appear in court. At least I think that is it, this is all off my cuff, and I might be very wrong.

Oh, Darling, that's great! Even if you go to England, you won't get rid of me, I guarantee it. I'll visit you often (and go shopping while I'm there, of course, and you shall come too)!

I'm counting on not getting rid of you! I must have someone to shop, dance and do silly things with. And if I do go to England, we have the opportunity of a life-time to shop til we drop. XD I'll make sure there is room for you in my crappy abode *g*
