Cool! I knew you were smart as a wolf. Neat to know you're heading in a lingual direction. Linguistics was my concentration as an undergrad English major, too. You want to work in academia? Do diplomatic or business translation work?

My dad is a retired linguistics professor, and his academic specialities were/are Old English, Middle English, and dialectical studies. I was far more interested in dialectical studies myself than in the other two. I seem to remember that Old and Middle weren't covered in any depth at U of Texas till graduate school (other than the Middle exposure undergrads got to Chaucer).
