very very formal POLL

[starfrosting]

So I don't have a paid account, so I can't make a pretty lil poll like I'd want to for all of you to put yr ballots. But, dammit, I need your advice.

Should I:

a) stay at Vassar all this year, thereby getting to take poetry class this year and a bunch of philosophy classes this year, rather than cramming it all senior year while I'm writing a thesis....

OR

b) get my ass over to Amsterdam for the second semester, thereby taking a bunch of less intense wmst classes and probably having a blast, but possibly forgoing poetry class and having to get my ass kicked by a massive courseload senior year while I'm writing a thesis...


????

Please vote. Usually I'm very decisive, so when I'm not, it signifies that voting might actually change something.

i dont think you should stay all year but i also dont think you should do a stupid SIT program you'll go nuts. talk to the JYA folks and they'll get what you need straightened out to get approved seomwhere else. i think you should go where you can take classes in french and learn with real kids who live there not lame foreigners. anyway thats my two cents. leaving vassar was the best thing i could have done. and it really good to learn in a different way like that and you can usually take any class in any department you want because visiting students dont have prerequisites. we can talk about this later when you get your ass up here!

Yeah, let's talk about it once I'm up there. See, the thing is, the French program that sounds so good (critical studies, for real) requires like 5 semesters of French ie really good proficiency, which I don't have. And I think, from talking with Drake, that the Netherlands could be really good. Also, will this be my only opporunity to ever study at a foreign university? Also, doesn't it have to fit with my major eg wmst?

Ps should I stick with my major or switch to philosophy?

i love you bug, see you soon.
