[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chaucer, that's another one I never read. If only my parents knew, they were already not thrilled with the English degree but I didn't even read half the books. I did watch all the movies though. Somehow I got a great job working for the government. [/quote]

Lazy English major?[/quote]

I considered myself to be highly efficient, I graduated with virtually no effort put forth.

Great professors at GMU back then. I just started wondering if any of them might stumble upon this thread. CF was the best. I can't remember the other names. The one who taught Southern Gothic lit was great, I recommend A Feast of Snakes, that nice old lady had us read that filthy book. The guy who did Sci Fi was great too, A Gate to Women's Country was my favorite. Another shout out to the one who had us read One Hundred Years of Solitude, she promised that we'd all read it again one day, I tried to watch the Netflix show but it was terrible. So there, I read at least three books. [/quote]

Sounds like the GMU program wasn't very rigorous back in your day.[/quote]

You picked up on that? Was it me repeatedly declaring English to be super easy? The classmates I kept in touch with did very well for themselves though. [/quote]

Yep, and I'm not even an English major! Perhaps it was what your classmates learned that made them successful[/quote]
