I went to UCSC (wanted to go somewhere where there were no grades, because I am a bit of a perfectionist). Double majored in Fine Arts (emphasis on Computer Art) and Computer Science (emphasis on Comparative Programming Languages). Oddly enough, I'd argue the latter is not all that distant from getting a degree in linguistics.
that comment meant I was curious as to where you went to college. :-) I reread it and maybe you took offense at the 'anyway'.
It wasn't possible to get a double major in Fine Arts and Computer Science at my university because they were parts of different colleges and they were stupid like that. Not that I would have. I'm just saying.
Your colleges sucked. My roommate double-majored in Film Studies and Biomedical Engineering. Well, OK, I'll admit that it was just a certificate because there was no full-fledged major, but still. As long as you had the credits you could major/minor in anything.
that's the thing. you couldn't even take the classes at UGA. a friend of mine who was also an archeology major wanted to focus on pottery types. she though it would be a good idea if she could take some pottery classes. keep in mind that archeology and fine arts were the same college. they still wouldn't let her because it wasn't her major. it was the building right next to the social sciences one where we had our anthro classes. she ended up having to go to a community college to take her pottery classes.
While I did nothing but go to class, watch television, and eat Spagetti-O's, it was the only time in my life when I had enough free time to actually screw around with assorted art/music projects. Also, I thoroughly enjoy reading (something that seems strangely phased out of my life at the moment).

Date: 2002-02-06 02:12 pm (UTC)where did you go to college anyway? I thought you had a fine arts degree or something like that.
Ummm...

Trust me...

Bastards.
