    How ?bout teaching art history? in English?

    August 1, 2008

    Hey,
    I am about to go into first year and at first was excited about going to UofT, but now…I’m not so sure. I’m going into English and Art History, but more and more I keep on thinking that I’m going to just end up waisting four years on something that will in the end be entirely useless! I’m not a brain, I can’t do math or science for shit. What the hell can I do with a BA in Art History and English?
    Please, don’t suggest teaching, I hate children.

    What’s kicking, Aska?

I’m not looking to get paid for this, and I’m also not looking to associate with anyone other than U of T students (IE that high school thing they’re always advertising at Sid Smith is out). Any suggestions aska? I’m a philosophy major and my GPA kicks ass… if either of those things matter…

    Thanks!

If my TA is completely useless where do you suggest I go to get help in Chemistry or Physics? I’m also concerned about applying to second year programs…what kind of of marks do they look for, how hard is it to compete for a space?
