*Looks up at what she wrote for "Listening to"* I can never get the spelling of that song's title right. *sigh*
Taken from the Ateneo De Manila Official Site:
-------------------
MA LITERATURE (MA LIT)
The MA Literature degree is designed to provide high-level instruction in literary and cultural studies in order to produce graduates who are (1) knowledgeable in theory and skilled in its application, (2) capable of analyzing Third World literary and cultural issues critically, and (3) attuned to the issues in Philippine literary scholarship.
Fields of Specialization
Critical Theory and Cultural Studies
This program aims to provide the student with basic knowledge and skills in critical theory and cultural studies, as well as to inculcate a deeper understanding of the discourse of theory and cultural studies. The program is designed so that the student does not only know about theory and cultural studies, but also have opportunities to practice and apply these theories.
Literary Studies
This program aims to develop scholars who are solidly grounded in the methods of literary scholarship. This program hopes to meet the demands of current Philippine literary studies, namely, the retrieval, annotation, and editing of primary materials, as well as the production of astute critical commentary on the same.
M.A. ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE TEACHING (ELLT)
The MA ELLT degree is designed for teachers of English language and literature in the secondary and tertiary levels. The regular program is for full-time and part-time graduate students who can take courses during the regular semesters. The summer program (SUMAP) is for the graduate student who cannot take courses during the regular semesters.

My mom gave me the greenlight to take up my Masters' Degree, and I've always wanted to study in Ateneo De Manila University (nothing to do with the fact that it's closer to our house and my sis graduated from there). Now the question is, which course to take??
I won't deny that I want to teach, which is why I'm slightly partial to the English language and Lit teaching option. But I don't want the focus to be all about teaching-I also want to brush up on my Lit and hone my skills as a reader. I'm still confused on which to take, and I'm slightly worried that I have to go back to DLSU and get 3 recommendation forms. I doubt that my Lit professors think highly of me. *sigh*
In other news, I finally got my assignment for sg1flashfic. I'm quite pleased with what I got, and would consider writing all three. Hey, I need to brush up on my writing. I have an excuse. ;)
