I originally wanted to study Journalism, but I realised that, given the way my Greek is coming along (pretty poorly at the moment), I would have a very hard time with the courses the first few years. The linguistics and English lit programs are all taught in English, so it would makes sense to do one of those instead.

I looked into theoretical linguistics and found it to be quite fascinating. All nerdy and shit... just the way I like it. :)
