Woohoo! An awesome new year. Not so new now that we're half way through it. But anyway I love my CAPP classes, I love my single room, and I love the fact that I'm going abroad next semester to a beautiful country with two of the awesomest Badin girlz. And who knows about the others who are going. I guess we'll get a preview at the meeting tmr.
Oh and of course as always I love my hilarious friends and the fantastic seniors and sophomores that I'm getting to know more and more. It's not just me and my gang anymore...it's like me and a whole variety of Badinites. Hopefully I'll get to know a few freshmen pretty well too. They seem really great. And our new rector is so cool. And Candice, one of my favorite seniors just became my RA. It's like having your good friend as an RA not some domineering authority figure.
On top of all that, ND is winning and the Mets---THE MMEEETTTSSS!!!!---are in the NLCS. THE NLCSSSS!!!
I know this seems all really happy happy joy joy. But hey, I do have some not as happy things going down. I'm applying to the History Honors program. I want that honor. I want it. But hopefully I'm not getting myself into something bigger than I can handle. I want to write about Wales because I am obsessed and their language is beautiful and the ancient/medieval Celts rock my socks. But European isn't my concentration. So unless Australia has got two European classes, which they won't, I'm going to have to write about American history, my concentration. Now I like American history of course. But because of this thesis decision I've been second-guessing my choice of that concen. and of my abroad choice of Australia (should I have chosen Ireland where I could have chilled with my third cousins and taken European classes and done research on the British Isles?). Of course it's all too late to turn back now. So I should probably get used to the idea of writing about colonial or 20s/30s U.S. history. Because hey that's cool too. I just hope I can become passionate about whatever topic I choose so I can devote all that time and effort and actually kind of enjoy it.
Oh yeah, my other not so happy issue is I need to find a job/internship this winter and next summer. Because mark my words: I am not going back to Resto (my job this past summer).
And one more: I'm still not sure what I want to do after college. Why can't everyone in my family accept IT? They all want me to go to Law School or Med School or write history books. I'm certain I would hate the first two. At least Law School I know for a fact. And Med School? I just don't want to be a doctor. I don't don't don't. And history books? Not right now. I love computers...it's a fantastic profession. Apparently those around me don't think it's good enough. I hope IT is the right path. I'd like to go to graduate school but not for history. Maybe for teaching or computers. But I need to figure stuff out first.
