Quick Update

School mode has kicked in. That means I'm terribly sleep deprived, sometimes forget to eat during the day, feel very overwhelmed and think about how awesome winter break in CA and chill time in NY and the first few weeks of BA were.

Today I "shopped" 3 new classes.
1: A seminar on Shakespeare that was a 4 hour long lecture basically about the main points of English history. Shoot me.
2: Literatura Rusa y Escandanava. I love Finland (that's no secret), and have been interested in Russia since high school when I took a Russian history class. Part of the syllabus was Crime and Punishment AND Anna Karenena within two weeks of each other. Shoot me again.
3: Historía y Cultura Judía. If you know me well, you also know that I have always had a huge interest (if not an obsession) with the Jewish culture--its traditions, practices, history and musical theatre portrayals. I walked in late after running around a multi-story building searching for the correct aula (classroom) and found a short Argentinian rabbi talking about our final projects and the beginnings of the Abrahamic faiths. This class could work...

This is what I've been thinking about...so I just thought I'd share. Later today my bff Rachel has to choose our housing for our senior year of college= so stressful. This week I have to finalize my schedule for this semester=so stressful.

Send me some good vibes, cause I'm freaking out. Next week I'll tell you how great my classes are going and how happy I am in BA...but for now I'm just trying to remember that working hard and being educated are worth all this hassle.

Good thing I have cool friends to order ice cream delivery with on Thursday nights :)
