James Franco

oh boy! can somebody pinch me?

fyi, the hunky, drop dead gorgeous James Franco is planning to pursue his doctorate in literature and creative writing and oh boy, that is sexy! reading english, you see, is not something that everyone loves to do, even the native speakers found it useless. it is boring, lengthy and old most of us will be half-dead while reading it. and this incredibly good looking man is actually liking these old boring stuff that i've been learning for three years and it makes me feel 'oh, thank God for clearing the path for me!' the oath that i am taking now, though it is less traversed but is something i love.

Carey Mulligan in An Education is dying to read English Oxford, and now knowing that James Franco is a literary-man boosted my confidence with the education i had. always that the english graduates be associated with only the teaching profession and to some extent we are being made fun of our vague future.

 oh literature? what you gonna be? a shakespeare? 

when i was first knowing that i'd be doing a degree in literature, i was shocked and i felt cheated by the whole gomen system because i supposed to be doing a degree in Tesl. the society were all rude, one of my cousin said that the English literature course that i be doing is ridiculous and i knew that deep in their heart, the people, they were laughing at me, making fun of my five years education in boarding school and end up reading poems and books of the dead writers. oh right, laugh at all the fun, you may. if the future is foreseeable, i wont be bothered to learn the empirical intelligence stuff you called science.

we, the english graduates are the marginalized. there are almost zero sponsors. Tesl and English degree although are sisters but mainly separated. the teslian has better fortunes than us, and oh it depends on the university as well. in usm, we doubled up the study time but still end up with nothing extravagant. there is only one person in the class who be getting the first class degree, but the CGPA is not more that 3.6. below grandeur if compare to the uitm's degree.

alas, what can i do other than whining. i cannot change the whole system of USM, protesting 'y u NOOO easy'. in preparing myself for the life after the university, i cannot help but be worried of my writing skill, which is merely average level. nothing impressive. and when it comes to speaking and communicating i can be all drenched in sweat and fears. i just hope that God will be generous enough to light on my oath once i graduate. Amin.

p/s: Franco is teaching at NYU, it would be faaaaan-tastic if i could be one of his lucky student, scrutinizing and reading him the poems with unimaginable pleasures.
