(no subject)
I just bought "Aquavit" (a Swedish/Scandinavian cusine book) with my gift card to Barnes and Noble. I really want to start eating healthier. This entails eating fresh vegetables (no more buying frozen bags of broccoli at the grocery store), making my own meals (in advance if necessary), and not just putting a tortilla with cheese in the microwave for a quick meal. I really think eating fresh fruits and vegetables (and fish- mmm, gravad lax) will make a difference. Perhaps I won't feel so sluggish in my Renaissance and Critical Theory classes. Well, one can only hope...
Yesterday I had to work but I had an essay due at 4:00 (I know, on a Saturday!) So I wrote it in the backroom when there weren't any customers, then, since we aren't allowed to use the computer, I called my sister and dictated the entire paper to her, gave her my password, and she mailed it to my professor for me. If only he knew what I did to turn in the paper (relatively) on time!
In other news... I am thinking about maybe taking a one or two year break to live in Germany after I get my MA. Then, I am thinking about going back to get my PhD in comparative literature. This seems far more appealing than going to straight on to a PhD program in Victorian Lit.
