| Introduction | I'm graduate of the University of Dallas with a B.A. in French and English. I'll be beginning my studies of Belgian Symbolism at the Université Libre de Bruxelles on a Fulbright scholarship this September. Grad school with an academic career as the goal used to be my life plan, but extensive reading of literary criticism and conversations with professors has assured me that the teaching of English 101 and the later tenure grab is not for me. What'll happen next? Who knows. |
