Even Better News (for Me)

[Cheese]

I know earlier this year I posted saying that a Uni application of mine had been accepted but I just got another letter through today and my first choice Uni have accepted me on all three of my choices there.

To say I am chuffed is an understatement... :lol:

Thx Nikki, ck-uk and unzi. :D

I'm gonna be studying American Literature or English Literature, I still haven't made uo my mind which of the two I'd prefer. Perhaps a poll will help me... :lol:

Go with English, Cheese. It will be a lot harder but it would be a basis for American Lit if you decide to progress on to that at a later date. :)

Literature is, by far, my strongest subject and something that I enjoy doing.

There is something very satisfying about reading a text and then spending hours taking it apart and trying to find what the author was doing, how characters are motivated and how language works in story telling.

Similar with poetry, you can read a good poem but to then look at a poem closely and see how well (or bad&#33;) a poet can bring across a point or theme is as pleasureable as reading the piece.

At the moment I can&#39;t wait until I get stuck into some good books/poetry at Uni. I get my reading list real soon so I&#39;ll be sure to post it here (or in Bookworld...) to get other people&#39;s opinions.

My main reason for choosing American Literature as one of my choices was because since I was at school I have studied American texts and have always enjoyed them.

At GCSE level I read To Kill A Mockingbird, A-Levels I studied Tennessee Williams and John Steinbeck and, more recently, Truman Capote at college. So I think that American Lit might be my final choice...

Though English Lit does offer creative writing modules...does that mean I can just hand in any old thing as long as I made it up? :lol:

[chalice]

I&#39;d say go with English as your first choice. There&#39;s no avoiding Shakespeare and Yeats and Beckett (even though two of them were Irish).

There will always be American modules. I mainly read American novels and poetry for pleasure. Burroughs and Ginsberg are incredibly fresh to this day.

Well done Cheese, you havent been on MSN all night so i spose your out partying and throwing all your student loam money down teh drain with beer&#33; Drink up :beerchug:

:lol:

[cowswithguns]

Congrats Cheese..........I don&#39;t think it matters which you choose, if it&#39;s like here, you can always major in one and do the other as a minor...lots of reading, but it seems you love it.

Good luck StudentCheese :D

[j2k4]

Way to go &#39;Cheese&#33;

Keep yer head, man&#33; ;)

My favourite poem hasn't changed.

I have though. :ohmy:

[Snee]

Hope you get a job where you can use all you learned.


Something where you like read stuff and write other stuff? :unsure:

[CrabGirl]

How have you changed?

[Snee]

He's been neutered, the poor bastard :no:

[Barbarossa]

Something where you like read stuff and write other stuff? :unsure:

That sounds a bit too much like blogging :pinch:

[Snee]

I was thinking he could become a literature critic or something :idunno:

Or he could write his own, although that'd be trickier to get paid for :dabs:

[CrabGirl]

He's been neutered, the poor bastard :no:

:angry: I hope not!

[Chip Monk]

How have you changed?

He's mellowed, some may say matured.

Not me like, but some wood.

[Gripper]

Has he got little blue veins running through him,has his prose become somewhat Stiltoned.
