*breathes into paper bag* In order to meet most grad school requirements, I'm going to need preparation in another language that I'm not going to get if I don't (a) take an intensive course next summer or (b) start right now or (c) both. Which means I need to either drop a class and take a language (German and French don't fit, so Greek), or overload and take a language. Gods, I really don't want to overload, but I really don't want to drop a class either -- what's Tulane's overload policy? (Here, for the 2010-2011 school year.) Okay, I could overload, but could I actually handle it?
Also, if I did, my schedule would look like this, which isn't too bad:
( under the cut )
I'm really, really worried about not having the languages to get into grad school, which is not at all helpful to my state of mind, and which is in turn bleeding over into my worry about what the fuck to do my senior honors thesis on, because I'm worried that I won't be able to do something historical or classical because I can't pull from primary sources without using translations. I mean, even in that case, the most comfortable thing for me to do would be to do my honors thesis on something related to English lit, because I'm much more comfortable doing literary analysis than I am historical analysis, even though I like historical analysis more. But the problem comes in the fact that I don't want to go to grad school for English lit, and also that anything I could do from the period that I can read it in the original (more or less) from I don't have the historical context for, which bothers me. AGH. *bangs head into desk*
*breathes* Okay, I have, like, four days. I will possibly try and go to Greek on Monday, to get a feel for it, and then I will set up meetings with my academic advisor and my two major advisors (and also find out if I'm down as a classics major; I filled out all the paperwork and sent it in and stuff, but it's not showing up online so I'm not sure if it actually went through), and then I shall panic. Well, panic more. There's always UNC's post-baccalaureate program in ancient languages, although, oh god, money.
