behind the cut is me talking about my schedule, so you'll probably get bored. i just needed to talk it out with myself for a bit.

schedule = HARD

question: do i want to take arabic? because if i want to take arabic pretty much ever, i have to take it next semester. do i want to take it ever?

i could not take it here and do this program that they have at AUB (american university of beirut) some summer, but i really want to do this summer internship in new york at some point and work at explo (my old camp) at some point.

i could take it this summer - michigan has it so you can take the entire first year of arabic in one summer in july and august - but that would mean i would have to be in ann arbor five days a week from 9-1. if i want to have a job, and that would mean that i would have to get up at like 7 every morning, then not get back to get any job i have until 2. that would mean i would probably end up working in the nighttime, which means a pretty bad summer of not being able to go out at night and not being able to sleep past 7 any morning. it's not really worth that to me.

i could take it next summer at michigan, since i'll have somewhere to live in ann arbor so it will be different, but then i couldn't do an internship...

it's all very confusing.

i guess i could figure out where i'm working when i get home IN TWO WEEKS (!!) and then decide... if it's possible for me to do it over the summer, then that would be cool. ...but if i take it in the summer, i can't take english 240 (intro to poetry) then, and that's one of the english major prereqs, and that would just be annoying.

i guess i could just take it next semester... i mean, that's the most obvious solution. it's five credits and i'm not even sure that i'm going to use it at all, plus it's a lot of work and i'm planning on taking two english courses (a jane austen class and the other major prereq, 239) next semester and those will probably be a lot of work also.

very confusing, and i'm probably just kind of making excuses because i'm not really certain that i want to take it.

there's also this french class that i want to take called narratives of childhood or something. it sounds pretty cool, and i feel like i should take french next semester in order to not start losing it completely, but it's from 1-2:30. the section of english 239 i want is from 11:30 to 1, and the austen class is 2:30-4. so if i took that, it would mean lit. classes straight from 11:30 to 4 on tuesdays and thursdays. and i really want both of those english classes (there's an english 239 section from 4-5:30 that sounds good that i could take, but that would present the same problem shifted over an hour and a half) so probably i just won't take french.

it's all extremely confusing.

there's also an american culture class called race and american cinema (amcult 367), which fulfills the race and ethnicity requirement, that i could take, so that would be good. it is 10-11:30 on t/th (why is everything on t/th?!) with a 3 hour (!!?) film lab on wednesday nights and hour-long sections on thursday afternoons at some point.

and the women's studies mini course on women's health/eating disorders/body image (womenstd 112) and such that i want to take on mondays from 3-5 for half the semester. it conflicts with arabic, but i can take it anytime, so if i don't get it this semester i can try and get it next semester. so that's not a big deal.

so i guess if i'm not gonna take french that leaves me with:

summer:
english 240 12-2 on tuesdays and thursdays

fall:
monday:
4-6 aaptis 101 (arabic)

tuesday:
10-11:30 amcult 367
11:30-1 english 239
2:30-4 english 313

wednesday:
2-3 english 313 section
4-6 aaptis 101
6-9 amcult 351 screening

thursday:
10-11:30 amcult 351
11:30-1 english 239
1-2 amcult 351 section
2:30-4 english 313
4-5 aaptis 101

friday:
NOTHING!

oookay i think that's actually what i'm going to do. and erin is amazing so she's trying to hold some of them for me. thursday looks like ass, but there's really no other way to deal with that. i get done pretty late every day, but i start pretty late in general, so that's good. mondays and fridays will be glorious. hopefully i actually wake up on those days instead of just sleeping all day.

unlike what i did on monday of this week, when i did not wake up until 3. yes, i did have class. i missed econ lecture and section, which means i missed a quiz, which sucks because i've already missed one and you only get to drop one. so yuck. but whatever, at least i got an extra day off :)

and i guess taking arabic is a good choice. i talked to katie about it and she was like "well you can just drop it if it sucks" and she is correct. and naamah likes it, even though she says it's really hard. i mean, if things get to hard then i can do something about it, hopefully. but it's better to register for it now than to decide i want to take it when it's too late.

ugh i'm hungry. boo.

i am going to go home next weekend to see my brother's play, but that's kind of awkward because it's the last weekend before school ends, and i have an econ exam on the last day of classes so i want to be at school to study for it. so i guess i'll just go home for friday night and then come home saturday morning?

ugh. that's so annoying. why can't country day just move celebrate the arts to the following weekend?! i gave them the 13 best years of my life, they can't give me that?

grumble...

this isn't the best weekend of any of their lives...

possibly i'll just take my car back with me because it will only be here for two days. and find somewhere to park it so that i can just drive myself home on the 20th instead of trying to figure out a big car switch with my parents and their airplane situation.

ooh that would be beautiful.

i'm watching gilmore girls and taylor keeps saying cart kiosk cart kiosk. i really like the word kiosk. taylor is annoying. i watch too much television.

i'm huuuungry because i had salad for lunch and salad for dinner. arrrrr.

hey, did you hear about the new pirate movie? it's rated ARRRR.

thank you, ladies and gentlemen. thank you.

"what if this guy wanted to open the long-haired freak dance school? or the long-haired freak diner? or the long-haired freak bookstore?!"

stupid taylor and his fat old man ways. and his beard. i bet his beard is like in the twits where it holds on to food for hours and days after you eat. and then you always have a snack, just in case.

i just want it to be april 20. then i want it to be the middle of may because then all my friends will be home. then i want it to be july 16 because i want harry potter 6, but after july 16 i want it to go back to the middle of may because then it will still be summer for a super long time.

probably that last bit won't happen.

i'm gonna go get some peanut butter crackers because i have no food left in my fridge. my mom might be coming for lunch on friday, which means i can go grocery shopping and get healthy food for my fridge and diet coke, which has been severely limited in the last few weeks because i have had to buy it from the vending machines.

probably i should stop writing random crap now. only one more wednesday, and two more of everything else!
