Can Someone Please Add a Few More Hours to the Day?
It has been a whirlwind of activity here--this is the busiest I've ever been at school. My classes have kept me pretty busy, and I'm also taking yoga classes twice a week, so most of my free time is spent either studying or being catatonic. I manage to get some knitting in there every now and then, though.I got advised for next semester a little over a week ago, and it looks like I'm going to be a junior next year. Yup, I'll be graduating a semester early, and I only have to take about 13 hours a semester to do it. No more 16-hour semesters for me, I tell you what. I'm looking forward to all of the wonderful Psychology classes that will be opened up to me next semester; now I just have to get through Psych 2990 and I'll be okay. I am not looking forward to that class; it's basically the same as 2980 (which I'm currently taking), but it's more difficult and it's worth four hours. Isn't Stat and 2980 enough? Geez. I'm not even going to be a Research psychologist anyway.
I love my French class just as much as I thought I would. We've been studying a lot of really good movies (including Amelie), and now we're on Cyrano de Bergerac, one of my favorites. I already have the DVD, so I don't have to go to the library or the SLC to watch it. M. Pendergrass is a really good professor too, but because I almost never hear him speak English, I have no idea where he's from. My best guess is that he's Canadian.
Knitting-wise, I have a few projects going on. I've been making some progress on Kacie's sweater, but because I'm working on size 3s, it's taking a little while. It's going to be gorgeous when it's done, though--the colors go together beautifully. I'm also working on a scarf for Kalan. I like being able to knit something for him while we're apart; it makes me feel closer to him whenever I'm working on it. I hope that I can finish it before Fall Break, so I need to pick up another ball of yarn sometime soon. I've also got lots of different colored skeins of yarn set aside specifically for hats; winter will be coming soon, and I'm going to be prepared this time, dammit.
I'm still incredibly into German metal right now; the latest addition to the bunch is Oomph. Their lyrics leave something to be desired, but the music is really good, not to mention addictive. I'm constantly going back to "Gott is ein Popstar" and "Traumst Du" on their most recent album, GlaubeLiebeTod. "Gott ist ein Popstar" has a pretty sweet music video, too. Everyone likes a hot Jesus.
Life at Bolton has gotten more bearable overtime. Sure, it's still boring as hell, but at least I'm not ready to bolt out of there at any given moment. I thought about becoming a blackshirt, but I realized that I really don't have the time for it; I'm hard-pressed as it is now. So, we'll see what happens there.
