So, school is here again and already three weeks in. It's nice to be back in the swing of things even though I don't have anywhere near enough time to keep up with it all.
This semester I am taking Japanese, linguistics, and history. I heard they are going to offer a major in Japanese next year and so I'd like to switch my major from history to that. I don't know if I will be able to though as I am nearly a senior already. Since I am getting my graduate degree in Librarian Science, I am not limited to a specific undergrad major. ^v^
We had some threats last winter and are increasing our campus security efforts. Whether or not we can keep the campus safe is becoming a pretty big concern. For the most part I still feel safe on campus, but last winter when they canceled school due to a date-specific threat, I was pretty afraid to come back when classes resumed. This semester we are trying a new text message alert system. For now, all I can do is trust the efforts of the campus police and administration are adequate.
You can bet I'll be online then, if I survive that long...
In a life update, I turned down a trip Europe because, since I am already facing imminent financial ruin for attending school, it just didn’t seem like the right thing to do. No visiting Vienna, no Prague, no Venice, and no Frankfurt. *bids farewell to opportunity* I am currently enrolled in classes for Japanese, History, and ~surprise~ German. I thought three languages weren’t enough. ^v^ Actually, I just really love studying language. Communication is a valuable thing. Alas, I should be doing homework and must pry myself away. No matter how much I study it is never enough, I am just no longer able to pull off the grades I once achieved. I blame that school, but I have to face up to the fact that I am probably just not good enough. *sigh* …No, that probably won’t happen. I work too hard to be average!!! At least my dog thinks I am great.
I know it has been forever and a day, but you gotta fogive me! I am insanely busy! I spent the last week writing an inquiry argument on aquaculture. Should I post it? Between finishing off my two-year degree, filling out financial aid papers for my next school, trying to figure out what classes to take, work, my husband, and of course raising my new puppy, I have all the free time of the Hoover Dam. Anyway I saw that paper mario came out on the virtual console today and I am so excited, I have to tell everyone to go out and buy it! Not only does it bring more Penguins to the Wii's Virtual Console, but it is a really great game! So those of you who have time: play it for me!
