Which is akin to sexy time, ala BORAT, minus the sex and plus a whole lot more homework. Anyhoo,
here 'tis. I am basically going to die, minus the death, but yeah, overworked, a LOT. I might drop a choir and my APLNG course (since both are sort of elective though eventually I'll have to do APLNG for my ESL concentration), and if I do it'll be UChoir, because I heart Women's Chorale and the Glockester a whole lot. Or maybe I'll take APLNG but drop the LING course, however if I don't like the LING course I'm going to have to drop the minor in linguistics since syntax is a required course for the minor. Either way then I'd have 16 credits, which I did this semester and it was quite doable, even if at the end it was stressful it was hardly that much work otherwise, though I may have been lucky, esp. considering my (honors) English class was basically the best (read: easiest and most chill) class ever. Oh well, we'll see how it goes. I'm uber, super excited. I'm really going to get into the core of my language dork nature with "teaching American English pronunciation" and "syntax". Hahaha, oh I love my life. Besides that it's going to be EDTHP, basically the stupidest, most pointless, and most boring required ed class EVER (education theory and policy, basically sounds like a snoozefest), child development (which actually may be interesting and I'm pretty excited now for it because I'm thinking that if I teach I may want to teach elementary school kids since they learn languages easier and aren't stuck up like hs kids), and ancient French civilization. Ancient French civ is kind of a joke class, in that I have to take either ancient OR modern, but modern I've heard is taught but a really disorganized and unhelpful teacher, whereas ancient has a strict teacher who has a lot of knowledge and just requires that you keep up with the readings. Out of those two choices I know from previous experience that I will do better with the latter teacher, besides the fact that I have a friend who will be taking it at the same time (my love Maria A.), who can help me if I run into trouble and who can study with me. Basically I'm super excited. Monday equals going to Montco and registering for my online math class (yippee, but my LAST EVER!!!), hanging out with Katiebaby possibly, and probably still unpacking and organizing my room (since I've yet to even start on it today...) Also this summer I'm taking "France and the French Speaking World", a French humanity gen ed that all ed majors have to take (well it's either this one, "French Culture Through Film" which I heard is uber boring even with the movies involved, or "Paris, An Anatomy of a City" which I was really really close to taking since I'm most likely studying abroad there my junior year.) But I settled on the French speaking world class since it might give me ideas about where I want to be a missionary someday (gives me more of an idea of the culture of French speaking countries), plus it'll probably have some African history, which is a topic of interest to me. And I'm not even that excited yet about studying in Paris, I didn't really like it all that much the first time, but it has the most classes and I could study at the Sorbonne (though there's an extra $400 involved, boo). And the Paris course is actually a lot of historical Paris, plus I feared the narrow focus would bore me, eventually. Other than that I'm taking a "biology of aging" class as a science gen ed. Sort of random but it was offered online through World Campus and I figured it'd be good to finally get a science gen ed out of the way. That plus BMB 001 (an intro to disease class) and either genetics and evolution (yay for genetics, boo for evolution) class or the biology of sex class to round out my 9 credits of gen ed sciences. Both sound interesting, and the bio of sex is more gestation science than human sexuality or choices relating to sexuality (I hope), though it will still prob make me uncomfortable at times. I just wish that I could go to school forever. If only.
I sure do like rambling in here don't I? Well I love writing, so. It makes me feel like what I say matters, even if it really doesn't. I should look for some scholarships this summer, now that I think about it, since my mom is really starting to struggle with paying for my schooling. Becoming an RA in the spring will help but I feel as if I could do more, especially since I like and am good at writing. I'm just afraid that I'll sound stupid writing the essays since they always want like a super person (read: ARIANA!), to win them. Haha I'm only involved in like two organizations at school and not super actively at that. Oh wellz. I'll try it, no use in not trying. So. And with that I should probably get to unpacking, since my stuff has been sitting there for a few days now and if it isn't gone soon my mother will start to nag. Rightfully so, since I'm a mooch right now. Just spending all her money, and such. Haha, well I'll get to it. See y'all around now that I'm HOME FOR THE SUMMER! =)
