After bombing Calculus II twice I had to abandon Computer Science but found my real passion and talent in English - let’s be honest, it’s harder than any code to execute dynamically. It doesn’t borrow grammar, it throws a rave and picks up the pieces afterwards. Anyway, over to a first-class English literature and creative writing (poetry, short fiction) taught by mostly Ivy League scholars active in the field.

“If you practice speaking with the attention to language and punctuation you would when writing, not only will you impress people and communicate well, but when you write it will be familiar.”
