Hmmm...well, I am getting a Master's in English, and I hate that I'm not really allowed to choose an emphasis. Maybe at other schools they actually have a decent program that allows you to focus in one area, but here they don't. The most you can choose is between Literature and Writing, Technical Writing, American Studies, or Folklore. All of those, except for Tech Writing, are pretty broad.

Within them, everyone I know (myself included) would like to choose an emphasis. We really would. One girl would love to focus on memoir. One, African American literature. Another? Victorian. Another, pop culture. Myself? Shakespeare. But we can't. Most of us, in fact, haven't had even one class in the area we'd like to study. Not one.

So yes, I'd like to focus on Shakespeare. But I can't. So I'm "focusin" on Literature and Writing.

I'm not bitter...
