The fifth brother's eyes widened after hearing this. "I thought getting an English exemption was impressive enough, but I didn't expect you to get a degree in English. Youngest brother, you really didn't learn English in vain."
Wang Zhen also nodded. "While we were still struggling with abcd, Manman was already arm wrestling with the English department students. I think it wouldn't be surprising if Manman said she wanted to graduate early in the future."
Yang Yang nodded seriously, "I think so too."
Xu Manman looked at the two of them with amusement. "It's not that exaggerated. It's mainly because I have a good foundation in English, so I applied for it tentatively. If you have any majors that interest you, you can also give it a try."
When the third brother mentioned graduating early, Xu Manman felt a little moved. In the campus environment of Peking University and Tsinghua University where there are academic masters everywhere, the learning atmosphere and intensity are far beyond what she could have attended in the second-rate universities in her previous life. If she could get out earlier, it would actually be something she could consider. However, graduating early is not the end. It would be great if she could take the postgraduate entrance examination in advance.
A postgraduate degree is her greatest asset for staying in school in the future. In fact, she is now applying for a second professional degree to increase her capital for staying in school in the future.
After hearing what Xu Manman said, the third brother shook his head and said, "Don't do that. I haven't even learned enough of our professional stuff yet. If I add more burdens, I might as well lose the sesame seeds while not picking up the watermelon." Wang Zhen said with a wry smile.
Xu Manman turned to look at Lao Wu, "What about you? Third Sister can be said to be restricted by our nephew. You have plenty of energy, why don't you give it a try?"
Yang Yang waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't worry, not to mention the second major, even getting 80 points in every subject is a bit difficult for me."
"You think English is difficult, but what if we change it to politics? My elder sisters are majoring in politics. If they minor in economics and you minor in politics, you can help each other when studying. Isn't this a natural advantage?" The more Xu Manman talked, the more feasible it seemed.
"Besides, having an extra degree may not make much difference to you now, but after you graduate, you will have an advantage over others in job allocation."
This is indeed true. Today's college students are guaranteed jobs, and most of them will be assigned back to their hometowns based on special assignments. Now is a time when everything is in ruins and talents are needed. An extra degree is an extra weight, and the probability of being assigned to a good unit will be greater.
After Xu Manman said this, the two of them calmed down.
The third brother looked thoughtful. "Let's go back and discuss this with the eldest brother and the others tonight. Manman, there's no time limit for this minor, right?"
"The school hasn't officially announced it yet, so the deadline is definitely not that soon."
At present, only students like Xu Manman who have applied in advance should have been notified. Xu Manman believes that the school should notify the entire school. After all, cultivating diverse talents is also a key focus of the school's work.
After the second get out of class, Xu Manman packed up her schoolbag and rushed to the Foreign Languages Department office in case she couldn't make it back for the next class. She also asked the third child to tell the professor when the time came.
Unlike the Economics Department, Xu Manman would go to the counselor in charge of the class when she had problems. She went directly to the Foreign Languages Department office to find the department teacher.
"Hello, teacher. I'm Xu Manman from the Class of 1978, Department of Economics. I previously applied for a minor in English, and our counselor asked me to come here to register." After saying that, Xu Manman handed over the note given by Zhao Xiaofeng.
The teacher looked at the note Xu Manman handed over and said, "You're taking a second major, right? We also received the notice yesterday. We didn't expect you to come so soon."
Xu Manman smiled shyly, "I wanted to finalize it as soon as possible so that I can take the textbooks back to study. After all, time is short and the task is heavy."
"Well, then please fill out this form first. I'll help you register it. Did your department discuss the cost of the paperwork?"
"Yes."
"Okay, then fill out the form first, and I'll take you to the finance department later to pay and get the book."
After Xu Manman filled out the form, Wang Wanhua helped her register and then took Xu Manman to the finance office to pay the money and get the book.
Wang Wanhua handed her a class schedule and said, "This is the freshman English department's class schedule. If possible, try to attend classes in person. After all, foreign languages are not like other majors, and the benefits of pure self-study are still limited.
The office addresses and contact information of the teachers for each subject are also listed here. If you have any questions, you can come here and ask the teachers for help."
"Thank you, teacher. I understand."
Xu Manman put away her class schedule, walked out of the Foreign Languages Department with a pile of textbooks in her arms, took a few steps calmly, and then started running.
The next class is about to start. If you don’t run now, you’ll be late.
