| | So it's been a mighty long while since I wrote in this thing...
but i've been busy with class and all, on top of everything else, so i guess that's ok. despite what some of my older friends whom people oft mistake as my dad say.
let me share with you a lil bit of what the stew that is my semester contains:
Classes:
French 336- Contemporary France <-- learning about French culture (a cultured American... what?!) mostly as compared to ours, save some aspects of French society completely incomprable to ours which, obviously, aren't.
Russian 102- Beginners Russian 2 (every day)(AUDITING) <-- going to class, doing the work, not getting credit, but it's ok beacuse i'm learning at a relaxed yet not pace, unrestrained by the stressed of taking the course for credit. in my degree plan, 101 and 102 is a prerequisite, but it does not actually count as hours towards my major SO i can just learn the stuff and feel like im being extracurricular-but-not-really (because it actually is somewhere in my curriculum) while still being efficient in my schedule/life
Spanish 102 - Beginners Spanish 2 (also every day) <--- its challenging enough to where i am learning stuff but by no means hard
Kinesiology 198- Gymnastics<-- our final is a back handspring. enough said. nice donothing class.
Linguistics 310- History of the English Language <-- It tickles my linguistic fancy just enough to push me and cultivate educated thoughts without being overwhelming... we just started Old English today!! it is pretty much a different language. WHO9P for those.
Music 190 -Century Singers- <--We're doing Bach and (some other guy? i forget)'s Magnificat(s)
Music 251- Individual Performance- <--Sweet, she didn't freak out about my tongue ring (she actually only saw it for the first time yesterday and didn't flip out. Good news, and I'm starting to be very pleased with my vocal progress (not starting altogether, but starting on a different level; one might say that I'm "kicking it up a notch.") (BAM)
Political Science 206- American National Government-<-- Its exactly what I took at Jesuit, except this time I get multiple choices on the tests instead of essays (I got a 94 on the final which was 7 pages of essay; if I brush up on my government, I should be in good shape)
Clubs:
Fade 2 Black Dance Ensemble- I made the [inclusively]Hip-Hop dance team!!! Yay. hooray for 6 hours a week of hardcore cardio.
TAMU Gymnastics- Shooting for 4 or 5 hours a week of workout
Aggie Global Interaction- a[n originally] business organization which incites... global interaction. French people are cool. It's interesting to see the different cultures come together in one room in Wehner. It makes me happy.
Conversation Partners-I'm to meet with this physics grad student from Russia to palaver about whatever we wish pertaining to our respectable (double entente) cultures and practice his English.. hopefully there will be some reciprocated help on the latter (in Russian, mind you, although I might need a lil' lesson about auxillary verbs...)
Century Singers - (because it should count for more than 1 hour... and its something a choose to be in)(and i love them dearly)
aand yes.... i am quite fairly busy... yet i find time to hang out with mah peeps, go to parties where i go on a jello shot binge (or more exactly on 3 times a jello shot binge, according to the technical definition of "binge" as pertaining to alcohol), be friends with my friends (when they do answer tHEiR phone (-: ), hang in our AWESOME ROOM with (a) badass roommate(s), and EAT. i have been eating an awful lot this semester... but that's ok because at 10 hours of exercise a week, i need that extra nutrition to run my body. I have also been getting adequate sleep (note the difference between adequate and personally sufficient [3 hours], but i'll take what i can get)
i'm already happy with my grades, and to reward myself, i went to half price books yesterday and got 5 books for 2.71$ !! hooray for bargain books. i got a german verb book, a german dictionary, a marx for beginners book, a book 'rethinking middle east politics,' and a webster's pocket reference book (grammar, random things that are good to know). hooray.
and i'm getting my rips (literal rips in my hands that eventually lead to calluses) back on my hands!! hoorah.
i'm gonna go watch tv.... i havent said that in a long time. yay.
and then go to bed.
adios!
