Sometimes...
Sometimes I love this school.
I was on a forum and someone needed the translation for the word (noun) "love," in various languages spoken by the kids going to her kids' inner-city school for a fundraising project. Two were rather more obscure, but they are offered at Cal. I emailed the instructors about half an hour ago, and one of them already replied back. I feel like I should send a card back or something.
Meanwhile, it looks like I'm going to Portugal. I applied to the summer travel study program (woo 6 extra units means I can take it easy during my thesis writing!), and then to the scholarship specific to this program (I think maybe they want people to stop ignoring Portugal in academics...), and the professor in charge of darn near everything Portuguese on campus sent back a reply ending with "I look forward to spending the summer with you." So that bodes well and takes care of several thousand dollars of fees. Now I need to make sure I'll have the money for plane tickets and personal expenses, which, given that I've already mapped out walking routes to yarn stores in Oporto, may be large :P Plus I think I'll have to buy little rooster everything, and a bottle of Port for Dakota since I'd miss his 21st birthday :(
Now back to the homework I entirely forgot about and thus didn't do last night. I was wondering how all my classmates knew so much more about the Chartists :P
