2008 Siempre Fuerte De Konsencia

[xsoyquiensoyx]

I am very excited to say good-bye to 2007, although it held its wonderful moments and learning experiences, it was still a bit of a rough year, well at least defiitely the latter half. 2008, I am anxious to say, holds some very exciting things. For one, I don't think anyone else should be getting in any more car accidents (knock on wood). We should

boo I hate when livejournal does that, and it usually does it when you've just written the best thing ever.

I'm not disappointed, 5 classes is still a lot, and it's better to concentrate on your major anywyas.

I thought about "testing the waters," I tried to do that last year before I signed up for the fall 2007 classes, where I went to my counselor but my counselor is a #&%^%#$%^& and told me that was not a good idea. I basically wanted to take languages, and have like a foreign language minor or something like that, and i thought it will probably help me with marketing because what if I were to travel or do international marketing? I would have been helpful. Also, i like looking and studying other cultures. Well, anyways, my counselor says, "If all you want to do is learn a foreign language, there are cheaper ways to do that," and she was so mean about it, that it turned me off. Everyone in my major hates her lol.

Oh definitely, she was just so amazing, and connected, and taught us about the real world. She taught us how we should start networking, and how it's very important. She was just amazing.

so what are these cheaper ways?

do that natalie! if you want to take some foreign languages, take it. you never know, you might end up being a french teacher! ok jk or no there is many more things you can do. little jobs that no one ever thinks of. actually just by having a degree and speaking spanish you can get soem interesting jobs working for the government.

probably those tapes and books that they sell, that's the vibe I got from her. But, those really don't teach you like, the essence of the language, you know? I don't know, I think you learn a language best in a classroom because you have someone there to ask for help if you're having trouble pronouncing a word or something. Because if books really could teach you everything on your known, no one would need to go to school.

yeah, I mean, it's a little late to do that now ):. I'm already in my last semester, but maybe i can come back and do another degree or something once i find what I want to do, or if things don't work out.

but definitely! being fluent in spanish is already an advantage!!
