Posted: Thu Feb 19, 2009 3:12 pm Post subject: Conversion to Course 24 |
|
|
Am I supposed to be rejected three times before they're sure of my linguistic sincerity?
I sent an email to the guy in charge at the beginning of last week; I never heard a response.
So a week later I went to the linguistics department in person. The secretary took my name and email and supposedly told the guy in charge that I came by.
I still have yet to hear anything from anyone. I guess I'll just have to try two more times. |

That's how course 24 rolls. _________________ When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.

Umm...what? Why were you ever 9 instead of 24? |

How would course 9 help you to grow organic chickens on your farm? |

Actually, it's simple chronology. I didn't know 24 existed when I switched to 9 last spring. I only took 24.900 in the fall.
And anyway, for all I know those 24 people don't even want me. |

17 is a great department, imo.
Taking polisci lab as we speak... and it's awesome. _________________ When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.

Is there something in the water in DOOMCom that makes people abandon real majors to become philosophers, linguists, and political scientists? The only real question now is: when will someone from DOOMCom go over to the dark side and join Sloan? |

I thought about being a Sloanie, but there's too much math involved.
Also, how is poli sci not a real major? |
