Good news is Translation & Interpretation only takes 1,5 years. Bad news is it is required to have 60 hp in the language of your choice. Otherwise I thought I could've become a translator and worked with that while studying mandarin, but surprise, I don't have 60 hp in English. Fuck. I'm just going to get so bored studying the same thing.

Anyway I was thinking, if I pass my stupid exams, I'd have introductory course II for spring along with French. Then another fall, maybe, the big fish and another introductory course. (And if they won't hold the course then but later, I could study something else in the meantime or give myself some time off.) Then maybe I'd go abroad one summer to study a bit. Then study for like 2,5 years more.  I'd be like, 25, and have studied for 6 years. Oh dear god. Approx.

Maybe I can squeeze some beginner's courses into there. Dutch, Arabic? French and German during the summers? I could make it my annual thing to go on a linguistic journey each summer. I wonder if there are any summer courses. Then take a break and just work for a few years, then if I feel like it, continue my studies. People do it all the time, don't they? I mean, it's like having any other hobby, except I can make money off of mine.

So basically I'll be in school forever and ever. But as long as I can work on the side, I guess. Yeah. Okay. Hell, I have teachers who still go to school. It's fun! It's fun, fun, fun. Either if you study part time, or if you freelance / have a very flexible job. It works.

If only there was time to study some philosophy, too. Sigh. OH, WELL. THIS IS THE PLAN, FELLAS. Now excuse me while I go have another existential crisis.
