I slept so fucking hard last night. I like, hammered the pillow with straight snooze, it felt so so good to wake up today. I thank first week of classes for that.. And an awesome Thursday night, ha ha. A date to a cocktail party at the science museum? Yes please! Wandering around the dinosaur exhibit with a beer left me giddy like a little kid, ha ha.
I'm excited for this quarter. Monday afternoon, I was freaking out but after meeting with a few professors and adjusting my schedule after re-assessing my credits, I'm pretty confident. French on Monday morning had me realize HOW MUCH I NEED TO REVIEW. I cannot string together a French sentence, and all my fillers are Japanese.. Partner talk with all my なんかs and えーとs also is tremendously awkward.. But I can push it!! I want my French minor like fucking mad.
I also realized I only need two more economics courses to secure that minor.. One of which I'm taking this quarter. I had signed up for another, but dropped it so I can focus more on Japanese.. It would have interfered with the Denver kaiwa group which I need need need! Setting up Japanese independent study has kind of been a bitch thus far.. Ideally, I want to do a reading group with Helen and a JLPT practice with Michiko, buuut we'll see. Also need to get the language table going on campus, ahhh.
Overall, I'm happy. I like being busy again.. I just need to not procrastinate. I don't think I will though, since now I'm at the point where I genuinely like each class. Gibbs' history course will also be a good lead into my thesis.. I just need to come up with more topics! We were talking about a gender studies topic, hmmm.. I just wish my Japanese were up to speed to actually be doing research 日本語で but whatever.
