i'm flopping my major and minor.

thus, i'll be an english major with a journalism minor.

pros:
no lost/wasted credit hours
this combination requires 15 less credit hours - that's an entire semester!
a more useful degree with less work
only three more classes for the journalism minor after this semester.
no internship

cons:
i still have to (eventually) do that damn 80 page paper (silver lining: i now have an idea of what to expect, and furthermore, since the class stays static, a great headstart).
most of my classes will be in the drab, ugly building from the 70's - not the recently built trendy 'atrium'
the hassle of declaring all this

Take a semester off! I'm doing it and I have no feelings of remorse. I get so much more work done this way. I'm updating my website, painting a lot, saving money for a trip to Japan, and getting back to myself (by staying up 'til 5AM and sleeping 9 hours a day). I treasure every second I'm not stuck in a classroom.

an english degree is more useful than a journalism degree? i see.

Do not take a semester off. I did that and it was very very hard to get back into the school routine.

He is a shoulder devil and you will address him as such.

If you know what you want to do, taking time off from school isn't that bad. I've done it and I'm glad I did, gave me time to recoup and recharge. I would have burnt out otherwise. I have burnt out before, part of my later decisions to take a semester or compacted session off.
