friday, thank god

end of the week...still many things to do this weekend, but at least i don't have classes. i'm a bit worried about my 10 minute powerpoint presentation on wednesday- no research yet, just a topic. there's also this play i'm doing again on sunday and i have to rememorize lines and blocking....yay.

mostly, i'm just happy i have some spare time. i'm still a bit worried about college apps. yes, i've already had acceptances from 2 schools, but they're my safety schools. i really really want to go to lewis and clark...mostly because of location and their chinese program on top of everything else that i want. and they're on the cheaper side. my missing application parts for the other 2 have just frazzled me this week. i'm betting i really won't get in to the others, and i haven't even completely sent my application yet.

i looked at the course descriptions for rockford today to see if there was anything that interested me. fren 203, a cool french revolution class with Dr. S (my favorite). i could take advanced rhetoric and get that out of the way...otherwise i'd probably finish some gen eds and decide what to major in. they're offering thai chi for an activity credit....i'd love to take that class. i'm just considering my options. if i stayed i'd have to move off campus, which creates an extra set of problems. who would i live with and where? issue of car and insurance? would i need an extra job to pay my bills? most likely i would transfer....

at this moment augsburg is my top choice. it would be even cooler if EC came with me....but she is accepted into the London program and is considering her options for staying. but if all goes well for me and lewis and clark i probably wouldn't go to augsburg. but at least i'd be in an urban area and nearby to R and culture and not too far or to close to home. i'd probably have a car....or the option of one for coming home.

but bottom line, i'm tired of school right now. i'm not sure what i'll do this summer after paris besides my research project....maybe i'll finally work....perhaps i need to bum around for the summer to get excited about college again. next semester i'm taking a reasonable course load. 16 credits or something, especially if they're all gen eds.
