January Full of Activities

Well, Hello again,

I know I'm not being very good about this whole posting thing. I've had a pretty crazy schedule this month. I did actually get the other class but now there's been a change of plans and I have to drop back to 18 credit hours. So, needless to say I'll be looking for a job to keep me on my toes instead. I should have probably started filling out applications this weekend...

Okay, so here's a run down of what has been going on.

I just boiled over some cheese pasta in my microwave and had to clean it up. Irrelivant information.

Okay so you know my class schedule, so I'll talk about that. My classes aren't too terribly demanding. Lots of reading and annotating but I've only had to write one paper so far and it was a first draft that we were supposed to build on the rest of the week so it wasn't terribly hard either. Geography and Economics aren't too bad either. I was expecting a lot more work from those two but maybe we're still in the introductory period. Who knows?

Umm. Things got a little complicated this past week when my advisor basically told me that going abroad again and continuing French weren't in my best interest. He was a jerk about it and I wasn't too happy afterward but I've moved on from there. I'm trying to work out at least another semester of adventure before I have to buckle down and finish up. Again, who knows what will happen with that?

My roommate moved out yesterday, so I have a room to myself. It's a nice change of scenery for me and I'm hoping that I get to keep it like this for the rest of the semester. I have to wait and see because of a rumor that they are going to start charging those of us that have a single room regardless of whether or not we chose that option or not. At this point it's just a rumor so until I get official communication as to that I'm going ot enjoy having my own room and the priveledges that come with that....

January's been pretty dry as far as snow fall here. We just got a little today but mostly it's been raining. Weather is silly, especially in Bowling Green.

My migranes have returned. I get them and they are sometimes terrible, sometimes tollerable. I seriously thing that they have to do with stress but I mean I'm no doctor so I can't say for sure. Things in my life right now just cause stress and that's all there is to it. I can't change that so much but dealing with my stress, I should find time to relax more.

An example of destressing....
Last night I had the room to myself for the first time so I celebrated a little. I rearranged the furniture, cleaned and then curled up on my bed with a box of Triscuits and some garlic and herb cheese, watching Sherlock Holmes (the version with Robert Downey Jr. that they just made a sequel to). It was nice to just have time to myself for once but I can see this getting a little lonely so I'll have to do something about that....

I found a new book series that I've been reading when I feel like taking some down time to myself. The first was called Matched and the second is Crossed (reading now) by Ally Condie. It's a really good series and sometimes it reminds me of the Hunger Games which has become a recent....let's not call it an obsession, it's more like a small passion/hobby....something like that. I just like it enough that I've considered getting a small tattoo of a mocking jay (symbol of rebelion from the book) behind my ear. That's probably just a pipe dream though....

I don't know what else to say.

I'd love to get some snail mail sometimes if you people out there are willing. I love getting it and I love sending it. Cassi and I currently have this sort of penpal thing going on but I have to admit that it's kinda lame because we can just pick up the phone and call eachother, which we frequently do anyway....

so yeah, drop me a line.
If you need my address, just ask and I'll make sure you get it!

So until my next post,
Blessed Be

Spring Semester 2012 Day 2

Well hello again,

I really didn't mean to let this go for as long as I did but I guess I just forgot to keep writing here. I mean I've been busy too but that really shouldn't be so much of an excuse. People are busy and have lives but are also able to keep their commitments at the same time. So why can't I?

Happy New Year!
even though it's late. I feel like I should still tell everyone to have a good year because the year is just beginning and the possiblities are endless.

As for me,

I'm studying my brains to mush. I've got 19 credit hours at the moment and if I get the special permission that I need to get, then I'm going to take 22 because I feel like I can handle it.

What are those classes?

Here's my schedule:

Monday: 9:30-10:20 French 102
                1:30- 2:20 Geography
                4:30- 5:45 Econmics

Tuesday: 8:00- 9:15 General Studies Writing 1120
                11:30-12:45 Latin American Literature
                1:00- 2:15 Latin American Civilization

Wednesday:  9:30-10:20 French 102
                      1:30- 2:20 Geography
                      4:30- 5:45 Econmics

Thursday: 8:00- 9:15 General Studies Writing 1120
                  9:30- 10:20 French 102
                  11:30-12:45 Latin American Literature
                  1:00- 2:15 Latin American Civilization

Friday: 9:30-10:20 French 102
             1:30- 2:20 Geography

The optional class that I'm trying to get in on top of all of these is Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 3:30-4:20 and is called Pop Culture in Latin America. At the moment I'm just sitting in on it because to have 22 credit hours you have to get the dean's permission.

Christmas break or Winter break, whatever you want to call it, was okay. I worked at the supermarket in my hometown some and made some money. I got to see my best friends and snuggle with my favorite little puppy dog but I felt really unproductive the whole time I was home. It made for some very poor decisions that lead to sitting in front of the television or turning on music to pour through the surround sound speakers so loud that I could hear it pretty much in every room in the house.....

I've moved across campus for this semester so e-mail me if you want my new address. I have to say that part of me wishes that I didn't have to leave the house even though I wasn't being treated well there. There's a comfort factor that I'm lacking at the moment that I know I really didn't have there either......I just keep going round in circles with my thought process and things get more and more complicated as I go.

I'm still writing even though my other blog has been sorely neglected. I have one that I'm worrking on at the moment that I really enjoy working on but I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to keep working on it. I have a feeling that as soon as I start getting assignments, my novel will fall by the waiside again. I guess that I just have to remember my priorities and stick with it.

Things will turn out as they turn out. No changing what is already planned for us, even when we think that we're making a random or spontaneous decision.

I leave you with a latin phrase that I found recently and thought was interesting.

Testis temporum,                                  The witness of time,
lux veritatis,                                          the light of truth,
vita memoriae,                                      the life of memory,
magistra vitae,                                       the instructor of life.
nuncaa vetustatis.                                  the herald of old age.


As always,
Blessed Be
