Decision time

[woodface]

I need to decide what to do but I still don't know. That course Ancient History and Archeology got me over excited and then they tell me it's not possible to follow this anymore unless you're a student who has to repeat a few subjects in your last year. THIS SUCKS.

So what remains now is Language and Business and I'm still reluctant about it because of the economics. Further more, I'm wondering if writing non fiction texts is my thing. Part of me likes the idea of an internship in journalism but the other part is aware that non fiction texts is something that doesn't lie well with me. On one side I want to learn this, on the other I wonder if I won't grow tired of it soon.

I don't know what to do. I have no clue whatsoever. Maybe I should go work but even that scares the crap out of me. I'm not sure if I'm ready to work and the problem is that with my Master in History, I'm not specifically trained for anything. Which is suckage. So yeah, Language and Business would be interesting with an eye of getting a job in that direction. But do I want that?

I wish someone would decide for me. I really have to know so I can arrange everything on monday as classes start on tuesday already. So yeah, it's urgent but I still just don't know. Gah, this is like when I first decided for uni, I signed up the wednesday before classes started. Oy.

And this update page is annoying.

How about you move to California? :D

Honestly? Journalism is fun, but pays poorly. Same with any writing career. Business is boring, but you can always pay the bills.

I'm not sure I want to go into "business" though. The reason I'd follow this course is for the languages. *sighs*

California sounds good...

I know, I avoided business like the plague. If you want to go into writing/journalism, the key is to get published, not take more classes. Don't get me wrong, classes are good. But look for magazines or journals you could write an article for.

See here's the thing, me and non fictional writings, we don't get along. So the idea in itself is crazy but I think it has got my interest tickled a bit. So the course could help me work out a style for it, teach me how to approach such texts. The problem is that I think I will either love doing it, or I'll just hate it. So I'm risking 5 subjects in economics which will bore me together with language subjects that will either be fun or end up being an aggrevation as well.

So maybe I should just look for something else or get a job, write fiction when I have time and see what I can do with it. I just don't know.

I felt like that once upon a time. Honestly, I still have trouble reading nonfiction without falling asleep. But, I actually enjoy writing nonfiction nowadays. It's the same basic premise for narrative nonfiction as writing fiction. You are telling a story, just this time, it's a true story.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for but I'm just unsure about it. If it wasn't for the economics part, I would probably do it but it just adds to another reason not to do it.

Now I'm eyeing an IT course as alternative. Seems very technical but it might be interesting. And computer skills are not really wasted in our modern society. *eyes further*

hebt ge archivistiek in Brussel al overwogen?

[woodface]

Ja, maar dat is 90% saai.

[janegaudi.livejournal.com]

ja, dat dacht ik ook toen ik het bekeek. ik overwoog dat eens op een wanhopig moment, maar toen ik dat vakkenpakket zag dacht ik "uh-oh". maar ge had het er al eens over gehad in een van uw posts, dat archivistiek in Antwerpen u wel interesseerde, vandaar dat ik t vroeg.

niet geinteresseerd in Culturele Studies? :D

[woodface]

Nee, da was bibliotheekwezen maar dat is twee jaar.

Culturele studies leek mij erg niks zeggend. Heb daarna staan staren maar ik zag niet goed in wat ge ermee kunt.

*grinnik* ik heb ook niet echt een idee, om eerlijk te zijn. de belofte dat ze u voorbereiden op werk in de kunstensector (breed genomen) lijkt mij een beetje utopisch, maar enfin, ik doe het meer voor de stage eigenlijk.. waar ik trouwens schrik voor heb, maar ik zal gewoon maar mijn ogen toeknijpen en erin springen.

't Zal wel gaan.
