Nice, the States can be great - I personally love Vermont myself because there aren't any billboards...yay.
Anyhow.
What made you want to pick Linguistics and English as your major at uni?
Good plan! Boondock Saints TOO. Yeah I love action films with a twist. I dooo.
I'm a reader and a writer so the English part was an easy choice, as for Linguistics, when I was in.... what is my country's equivalent to Hogwarts 5th year (easiest way to explain it lol) the Dean of our English department had just returned from a six month trip around Europe tracing the paths of influence (and invasion routes) that contributed to how English developed as a language, and she did a three hour talk/presentation on etymology and we HAD to attend as part of our grade...
... and I was enraptured the entire time. Just SO interested. So I've always held this idea that I wanted to learn about things like that, but then when I enrolled for English and discovered there were some awesome looking Linguistics papers TOO.... well I just had to sign myself up for that as well.
