A real update for once.
Since Dana pointed out I haven't posted in a while, and updating sounds better than writing my paper... how about it.
My sophomore year us going pretty well so far, with the predictable ups and downs. I absolutely love my living situation, I'm living in a suite with five of my friends and it couldn't be better, the only problem being that we have so much fun together that I often end up spending time with them instead of doing my school work. I've got a job at as a student chaplain in out chapel program, which I think is hilarious seeing as I've never been remotely Christian. But it's a nondenominational program, so even a jewish-quaker-pagan-whatever can work there. It's been frustrating at times because we have a new Chaplain this year and there's been tension between her wanting to change things and students wanting to stick to tradition. But I lead a women's spirituality group with one of my friend there which is fantastic. The best part is probably the fact that my job gets me a key to both the chapel and the bell tower, which means I can go up there and look out over Kalamazoo and all the trees changing colors any time I want. It is so. fucking. cool.
Lately I've been flipping out over my major, since I kind of still don't have one and need to figure it out in the next two weeks before registration for winter quarter. Right now I think it's down to english, political science and women studies, but that'll probably change tomorrow. Women studies would involve creating my own major, which would be... interesting.
I've been obsessively collecting all the beautiful fall leaves around campus, because I've been thinking about how next fall I will probably be in Senegal and won't get to see midwest autumn foliage. Except for when I'm whining about it being too cold, I'm relishing the fall weather.
So I suppose I should probably get back to the paper that's due tomorrow.
