You make me wanna…

…stick a pair of scissors through my eye sockets and cut up my brain.
…cut my own head off and play basketball with it.
…take a puppy by its tail, swing it over my headless body and launch it from the roof.
You get the idea. With every passing second, I feel like I’m wasting my time and money more and more. Really? A French Civilization class to complete my translation program? Really? I’m gonna have to take the second part of that class because the school sucks too much to have a wider range of French courses available? Really? You created a small, seemingly focused program that is ideally completed in one year but you don’t offer all the relevant classes in the same year? REALLY?
Am I overreacting or does everything here just suck? This is one of the things that I probably would be okay with if I had a lot of money and could afford to half-ass my life until I decided what I wanted to do with it, but that is not my present situation. I took out a private loan for this shit — a private loan on which I’m gonna have to pay a fuckload of interests.
Someone answer this question once and for all: why in the name of FUCKING CHRIST did I decide to come here?
I feel like an asshole for bitching about this every time someone asks me, “So, how’s school?”, but you know what? They fucking asked, and I’m gonna fucking answer.
…FUCK!!!!!!!
Was it a money thing? Or geography (School is close to home)?
Now a question.
What are you doing to need a French translation course?
School’s in a different state; money’s always an issue. I’m not sure what you’re asking me, though.
I’m just getting a certificate in French translation; so it’s not “real” grad school.
I was trying to find an answer to your question.
“why in the name of FUCKING CHRIST did I decide to come here?”
You will have to excuse my ignorance as I live in Canada and we are forced to learn french (But alas I remember next to nothing) Are you going to work in France? Or be a translator that would be cool.
Oh, sorry; I came here specifically for the translation program. The school is in DC, not far away from home in Philadelphia, so it was perfect. I don’t plan on working in France (although I was born and raised there, and I could if I wanted to), but I did want to become a professional translator. Not so sure anymore, thinking about more school…
Thanks for the clarification
