Make up your mind !!!

I find it rather difficult to make a decision base on my education wise. Lots of stuff come in between. Personal choice or what my family thinks. I already have a diploma in business studies. But right now I'm signing up for a Bachelor's degree in English. I figure, since there is no Japanese literature or Japanese Studies course in my country (

I look forward to hearing the results from your decision soon, dear. I am sorry for my absence lately, but my computer has been broken for a while now and I still don’t know when I’ll be able to buy another one (financial matters). But I have also been trying to read my friends list updates and comment when there is an opportunity. So, here I am. I think you’re right; it is always wise to try and find another way to fulfill our dreams and you have a passion on Japanese Literature that reminds me with Japan’s History. And although still working on my master’s degree I am also studying hard English and French, both with classes to discuss literature. I am sure this is going to help you a lot on your career. Take care and good luck!

You've been awol for quite some time. How r u? Thanks for your support on this matter. Though I haven't heard from the school yet, they will let me know by end of this week. I really hope I get in the program. Seriously hoping. I think it's about time for me to do something meaningful and forthwhile. And to do something that I love dearly. So I'm putting all my hope on this. Thanks again !!!

Good luck! :)
I haven't forgotten about sending you some Japanese culture books. I'm sorry I'm taking so long...

Thanks so much !!! really hope I can get in the course. And don't worry about the books. I know you're busy now. Read your posts in your journal. Take your time. No rush. If anything, you just let me know. And thanks again !!

YAY! Another Lit major! Honestly, what I've found is that there are quite a few career options for Lit majors, beyond teaching. I, personally, am planning on getting into editing. But since you will have both a Lit degree and a business degree, there is a lot that you can do! Don't be discouraged and good luck with your classes.

Thanks a lot !!! I'm totally feeling the buzz about the whole thing. And absolutely excited in doing this. thanks so much for your support!!! I'm also hoping options will open up for me eventually.
