i'm a ute now.

MONDAY--

SCHOOL STARTS! Wootie!

To tell you the truth, I kinda can't wait :) I feel really good about where I am at right now with my education and pleased at that because of the weeks, maybe even months of worrying, constantly thinking about what I should do. For now, I am taking the entrance classes in the Linguistics program (I've probably already said that), because they sound fascinating and there are a lot of career options as well as it being a good program for teaching me the skills for getting into law school. I'm pretty excited. I am sad to be leaving CEU though-I will miss my friends and fun times there. Change is good.

My schedule:

Italian 1010 (the goal is to be fluent in Spanish, but I want to learn Italian too)

Intro. Study of Language (this is the class that is the only pre-req, and I'm also taking like 2 of 4 classes that I don't have to take this class first for).

Language and Culture (a lot of international comparison stuff with this class)

Language and Cognition (philosophy type stuff)

and finally--Spanish intermediate conversation and reading. This class is gonna be waaayy hard, but I'm stoked for it! Plus, a lot of my Oviedo buds are in it too, so that will be a fun reunion!

I'm also taking an institute class. I really need to actually go this semester haha.

Wishlist (afraid it's going to have to wait until I find a job! That's okay though) :

What's back to school without new school clothes/shoes??

I really want both these pairs of boots. As well as a few jackets, cute pieces of jewelry, a watch and some headbands!


and how about an iTunes gift card? I have scored in the new music finding department lately. I would be one happy camper with some iTunes moolah!

Is anyone with me in the loving new school supplies department? I've always been crazy about notebooks/pens/other school supplies/etc. all year round, but back-to-school time is the best. Case in point: My mom and I were in Walmart the other day stocking up on crayons and markers for my bro and sis and I said something to the effect of loving school stuff and she said, "I'm so glad I don't have to buy you new notebooks and stuff this year." {this is the third year of that, don't worry}

I just bought a freaking cute backpack and am on the hunt for a sweet planner :)

Hooray! I love this time of year. Not to mention my brain really needs to be used in a scholarly way. What am I gonna do when I have no more school?? {not for at least two years, so I guess I will cross that bridge when I come to it}

In the words of Billy Madison: "T-t-t-t-to-day, Junior!" {just because I'm a jr. this year. ha.}
Oh and ps, I will be watching that movie this weekend.
Good luck to everybody with back to school.
