Writer's Block: In a Former Life & A life update
Yeah, I believe in reincarnation. I don't think that we remember past lives, or at least not well, but to me reincarnation is the best possible option. What a waste of a life experience, just to go sit in heaven and never get to try this living thing again!
Whoooo boy. This got long. Cut up into tasty little LJ chunks so you can pick and choose what you wish to know of my life!
SO ANYWAY. Dear LJ. I have been kind of swamped. And the bad kind of swamped, the kind where you have a ton to do and every time you look at it you just want to take a nap. Which is exactly what I did. At the moment I am wrapping up french homework because I have a test tomorrow, one that I am not sure how I will do on. :/ Oh well.
On the plus side, my BFF Lindsay is coming to visit me here in Chicago a week from Friday!!!! I am very, very excited. :D We are going to the JEW concert here at the Metro, and I am sooo stoked. We are also going to hang out around the city and probably go to an improv comedy show a friend of mine has free tix for.
So I have also been deciding where I want to live next year. Originally, I was planning on living with my now roommate and a few friends of mine/ours but then everyone's lottery numbers sucked (we needed one in the low 100s to get a quad/quint...I had the best number with 869!).
So then came the dilemma of splitting up. I HAD promised to live with my now roommate and a mutual friend of ours. But then another friend, Ginga, who I am closer to didn't get a RA position so she needed someone to live with. I get along with her so much better than my now roommate (my now roomie is nice, it's just like living with a 40-year old woman sometimes. She goes to bed at 10:30 every night, she doesn't like a lot of decoration or going out or having people over a lot or anything, really :/).
So then I had to break it to our mutual friend that I was switching rooms, and that caused a little drama, since she didn't really want to be left with my now-roomie by herself, but mutual friend creeps Ginga out a little (I get it....she creeps me out sometimes too and we will sit in uncomfortable silences sometimes, but when she's not being creepy she's nice) so we worked it out and she is indeed now living with my now roomie while I get to live with Ginga. Or a stranger, if Ginga suddenly gets offered a RA job, since she's an alternate (has about a 50-50 chance of happening).
I am generally quite happy though, because I will get to be louder later into the night, messier, and I get a kitchen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can not wait to cook, oh man, I miss eating food that I like :]
So while avoiding my homework this evening (I know, bad habit, I am just not passionate about my assignments), I started thinking about what I wanted to do internship wise, when I wanted to do it, what kinds of classes I wanted to take for my major, etc. I have come to the conclusion that, at least for now and I think for probably a while now, I want to work in TV. I've settled on programming, but that's an impossible job to hold right off the bat. :P I am considering taking some audio courses to get a sound internship or something.
I am making an appointment with my adviser to discuss study abroad and how that would play into what I want to do, and how that would work out, especially money-wise but also course wise. On top of that, I want to do a double major in Art History (I am currently just a Communication major), and hopefully finish up a minor in French (only 4 more classes to go :[).
THE FUTURE IS SO CONFUSING. And filled with a lot of paperwork. o.o
