I’m going to Loyola University of Chicago. Wow, that’s funny because after telling my academic advisor about my interest in writing and foreign languages, told me I should consider majoring in International Studies. But after reading the courses I have to take, I decided against it. I’m going in undecided and just taking core requirements, and one elective (French 101) this semester just because I wasn’t totally sure what I wanted to major in. I’ve known for quite some time that whatever I end up doing will involve writing though. Plus, I’m the only person I know who actually enjoys the subject of correct grammar, so I think an English major is the best choice for me.
I want to write a book someday, and I really admire you for persevering through eight years of a single project! That’s amazing. I’m sure it’ll be great and thanks for all your kind words, blogbuddy
