Spring Quarter 2010

Sorry I haven't posted since before we returned from London!

Obviously we got back safely.

It is now spring quarter, and I am loving it!

True, that pale skin of mine which lacks pigment burns in the time it takes me to walk to class, but my classes are absolutely BITCHIN!

I am taking 3 classes:

(I was smart enough to only take classes I'm über interested in due to the cabin fever that is SPRING)

Arabic 411--Colloquial Arabic part 2

-->I've just gotta finish up the series. I mean... It was a bitch last quarter, but I think I know how to beat the system now. And by beat the system, I mean study correctly. It should be fine--it certainly can't be any worse than last quarter.

Linguistics 367.01--Language, Sex, and Gender in American Culture

-->This is my second writing course, and it's absolutely awesome! The prof is a young, hippie linguist who is an absolute joy in the classroom. I love this class so much that the two intense assignments we got this morning didn't dampen my day even a little.

History 526--Historical Perspectives on Sexuality: Same Sex Sexuality in the Western World

-->The professor for this class is fantastic! She is an older lesbian woman who is an absolute hoot. She is so witty and hilarious in class! I love the readings. Everything about this class is so great!

So, yes. I am in the middle of doing a ton of reading for the week, while listening to the xx (even though they are playing a killer show a mere 4 blocks away. DAMN YOU, RESPONSIBILITY!)

Soon, I will be shoving off to bed. Work at the library beckons early as shit. Drrr. D:

In other news, I BOUGHT A KITCHENAID STAND UP MIXER TODAY! Well, more so committed to buy it/had it set aside at a lady's garage sale this weekend. Yay craigslist! I got a $250 mixer for $125. YESSS! I also bought a $40, highly-recommended belgian waffle maker for $15. I LOVE COOKING AND CAN'T WAIT UNTIL SUMMER WHEN I HAVE A REAL KITCHEN!!!!

AAAAND! MY ALYSSA IS VISITING THIS WEEKEND!!!!!!!!!

Anyways, G'NIGHT! xD
