Some of my classmates are mad at me cuz I’m on a different curriculum for our Chinese Minor course (it’s a 497 course and basically 3 steps away from being a graduate level language course if they had that here at my university) and...tbh I’m struggling just as much as they are because for one:
* It’s FREAKING Mandarin Chinese
*I literally have a full Chinese presentation verbatim for my professor every week that I have to put in like 1 and a half to 2 hours if I even want anything close to a C or higher.
*I had to take a break from Chinese bc I was unable to get into the previous classes and come to find out the year that the minor opened up the entirety of the Chinese/ Modern lang dept and curriculum (that only consisted of my ONE. CHINESE. PROFESSOR. teaching several classes mind you)...changed completely and several of the Chinese minor students dropped out becasue they got too chicken hearted. (so lowkey I’m basically a retention student...)
-So...peeved classmates who think I have an easier load than you...chill fam. You are LEVELS ahead of the game compared to me...but I’ll live. Keep doing you and Ima do me. Regardless of what y’all say.
