And that brings us to the present!

I plan on majoring in linguistics with a minor in Japanese, unless I can magically fit all the required courses for a double major or modified major.  I am very satisfied where I am now, because linguistics is definitely something I could study without any second guesses.  Even though I might have to work at a maid café to pay for graduate school… ;)  JK.  I recently elected my courses for Freshman summer and Sophomore fall.  When I am on the Tokyo LSA+, I’ll be taking JAPN 22/23 (language) and JAPN 11 (culture and music).  Back on campus next year, I’ll be in JAPN 31 (advanced language), JAPN 61 (anime and manga seminar), and LING 22 (syntax).  I think I will be off in the winter, but I really want to find research or any excuse for a Hanover FSP.  In the spring, I have JAPN 33 (more advanced language), LING 23 (semantics and pragmatics), and LING 17 (sociolinguistics) in mind.
