What options do you have?
My school here has a 3 year - 1 year structure. That means we have 3 years, then we get our Bachelor, and afterwards we can choose either (1 year) Master Translating or Master Interpreting. I think I going for the Translating, but I can always do Interpreting as my fifth year...

Ours is traditionally four years, but if you haven't earned all the credits you need to get you Bachelor is whatever field you have chosen to study.
There are three main schools at my college; they are business, nursing, and education. They are each broken down into seperate majors (well, except nursing). Business is the biggest there are a lot of different business majors. There are other majors like English, Math, Psychology, Computer Science, etc.
The Masters Program varies from school to school. It depends on what you want to get your Masters in on how long it takes. I have no idea about the MBA program.
At the start of the year, I was going to major in Accounting. Then I didn't want to. The only other thing I could think of was Psychology. I know I don't want to put that much effort into my schooling. Four years of intense study to get my bachelor's and then at a minimum five to get my PhD or Master's. (You basically need a Master or PhD to get your license to practice Psyc). Though now, I am still partial to Accounting and I have no idea what I want to do....hmm...I'm thinking maybe something like Business Law (though I don't want to go to law school...) or Banking and Finance. Then again, as much as I love learning about it, I'm not sure I want to be a serious Business person the rest of my life. I want to do something fun.
I know I can basically do anything I want. I can accomplish whatever I decide to do, but I don't know....hmm....I register for next sememster's classes on Mon (I could have Fri, but I don't know what I want). Which brings up my next partial concern. You need to declare your major once you have accomplished junior status. (It goes Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, Senior, fifth year student). These rankings are based on the number of credit hours you have completed. Since the start of the semester, I thought I was a Freshman, under the assumption 1st yr=Freshman, 2nd year=Sophomore, etc. However, I am already at Sophomore status (and was before the semester started). Which means that I'll most likely be a junior a year from now. (not next semester but the one after that). I really don't have that much time to play around and see what I want to do....I know it will work out, but I'm still stressed about it...

Deadlines are gruesome when you have to choose something that will affect the rest of your life... I won't have to choose until the end of my third year, and when I choose Translation I have further options: Either Technology and Science, or Literature and Audiovisual Media (Subtitling etc). This choice can be made for each of my 3 languages... I don't think I'll do Interpreting as a fifth year, I like writing better than speaking  |

Or like it says in Lion King 1 1/2: "good night, sleep tight, dream of bedbugs tonight."

Yeah, long time ago. It's kinda funny...not nearly as good as the original. Lion King 2, is ok (they made it before 1.5)

Yes! Loads! We went to see the movie Stardust (nice film!) and shopped till we dropped, off course. The pizzaria was okay, although the tables were much too close to eachother, the women at the table next to us were quite annoying...
Last Friday my parents and sister came to visit, so I had to do the whole tourist-bit again: shopping, the old buildings, the river... but it was great to see them again.
