It’d be super cool to make a little book based on all my Latino Identity writings and try to expand each of them a little bit. That might be a potential project over winter break. However, I really want to start catching up on all the literature I haven’t read. I’m planning to do a Latin American Literature major, but I haven’t even read many of the classics. So far, I really only have a good grasp of Neruda, and Borges. And I’m barely touching upon Bolaño and Garcia Marquez. I still need to get to Cortazar, Paz, Allende, Casares, Rulfo, Lispector. I will mostly have to read these on my own. I hate how all the survey courses on these writers don’t go in-depth at all and only introduce you to maybe one or two short stories or sample writings. Oh and that’s not including all the writers that came before them, most importantly, Cervantes. The more I think about it the least likely designing a major with a Literature focus seems likely to come to fruition.

I’m already a Sophmore, and I really have no clear direction, or area of study in which to head. The only thing I can fall back on is majoring in Spanish, but if I do that I’ll be really disappointed in my self. And if I don’t go to grad school there’s pretty much nothing I can do with a Spanish degree. It sucks, that I’m having second thoughts about these things so late in my academic career. I feel that this is why people drop out when they’re so close to graduating.
