Foreign Perspectives

I find myself in the peculiar situation of having finished all the foreign language segments of my modern languages degree and so have “just” one more course in the english language to do next year.

That completes the degree but I’d like to do something following it so have been tossing around a few ideas over the last few weeks since I’ll need to sign up for the first course of the next degree before next summer and won’t really have a whole lot of time to think about it once I get going on the english course next month.

One easy option, or at least easy choice, would be to complete the Diploma in English which means doing one more english course following the one I’m about to start. I’ve already eliminated the “art of engligh” course as being something that I’d not really be able to stick at which leaves the english grammar course. To be honest, I’m not really fired up about english grammar so that’s looking doubtful at the moment.

I’d also quite like to do their Creative Writing course but that seems to mean that I need to do the humanties course first. I’ve already read all but one of the recommended books for the humanities course so that’s a possibility I suppose though, again, I’m not really fired up about it either.

Which leaves the chemistry or physics degree that I’ve always meant to get around to doing. That’s also a realtively easy choice in that they both start with the same course so it puts off the choice of final degree for at least another year. I’ve heard really good things about that so chances are that I’ll run with that.
