Sixteenth Post / Parting Waters

Today, class registration day, marks the beginning of a new era in my education. I have spent the last weeks exploring the boundaries of my new mental prowess, but simply knowing my capacity is insufficient; I must hone my new abilities and become ever wiser.

My plan had been to triple major in the engineering school, though I had not settled on which majors I wanted to pursue. My new plan is to obtain only two majors from the engineering school; the extra time will allow me to pursue my English major and Writing minor (would I could major in writing.... alas, Wash U does not deliver).

There is a hard road ahead of me, as I am still not well-versed in non-Russian literary traditions. I will spend the next eight weeks attempting to read and comprehend the full spectrum of American high school and early college literature, so that I may approach my classes, next Spring, as any well-read American might.

The books beckon! I must be off!
