Well, it's nice to see that 16 years later I'm *still* being told by academic advisors that my choice of degree is "pretty unmarketable" and that I should consider becoming bilingual in Spanish.
Grrrr.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Yes! Even better if next time were at the same time.

Aims, what are you getting your degree in?

Mostly lurking...
Random things...
1. Thank you notes from ten-year-olds pretty priceless and comedy gold.
2. How is it that I own three Spanish-English dictionaries, and I can't find any of them. Grrrr.
3. Aims, you should consider Spanish. Then I won't be tortured alone in this journey!

Weak, Aims. What degree are you pursuing? I ask because all told me the same thing (I was an English major who didn't want to teach - the horror!) and it hasn't hindered my career path.

Yay Cindy! Glad you got to see P-C the other night. Our meetup was fun, though you were missed. How are you feeling today?

By people who soared up the professional foodchain to become...academic advisors.
(Which, no offense to anyone who is one. But the ones I've encountered didn't tend to blow you away with their dynamic potential. It's such a potentially important, life-changing role and yet so often it seems to be occupied by people who seem to be completely lacking in imagination or enthusiasm.)

I am pursuing a degree in Secondary Education - Language Arts major. Haven't really chosen a minor yet.
After I get that, I plan to get a Master's in Library Science.
But unless I get Spanish, I'm not going to have a job.

They really are. I got one from a girl who was in my camp when I was a counselor that I still have. It was your basic, "Thanks for being my counselor" and then suddenly at the end for no discernable reason, "I have a boil. Do you think the doctor will have to Lance it? Love, Margaret"

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Estoy estudiando español tambien. I've been downloading a podcast but I just picked up some Mafalda comics of my Dad's and realized I am way below the level of comprehending comics. I've ordered a DVD from Netflix but now I'm thinking if I really want to learn Spanish I'm going to have to take actual classes.
