Yesterday morning (wczoraj rano) I registered for second-year Polish, pass-fail. Work circumstances prevent me from giving as much time as I would like to the subject, and much less than it deserves from its true students. Can't stop, though. I had originally intended to audit the course, that is, sit in on the lectures and exercises, receive instruction, but not be subject to evaluation and examination. The Regents Scholarship, however, won't subsidize such liberal learning. The modern University must pay for grading and credentialing. Education is dear, they say, but not so expensive as ignorance. Still, one doesn't need to ruin one's post-doctoral, non-degree GPA in the process. Hoping for an easy S.
