Oh...My

I SWEAR that I'm not dead, I'm just a really lazy person that doesn't update her blog. I apologize. I didn't mean to neglect this for so long....but I kinda did. So hakuna matata!

Apparently since I've been away from the blog-o-sphere, there have been some changes round the website. Like, I can now see how many people have been viewing my blog! Coooool! I can count my stalkers! Apparently (checks stats) I peaked in August, but my most popular blog was the one about my brother's in the service. It got read 5 times on September 11th, which feels a bit odd. But now that I'm going to try to tryyyy to record the adventures of my monotonous life more regularly, maybe those numbers will change. Anything is possible.

So, since I've been away, so many magical (and some non-magical) things have occurred in my life! Like, I started at Uni X! Woop woop! It's pretty educational, I'm learning how to talk with a Canadian accent. So I'm totally getting my monies worth ;) The bummer news is that, being an English major, I have to schlep around many heavy books. So my backpack weighs 13.6 lbs....yeah owch. My back is totally killing me and it's only the first week of class. I'm figuring I'll either have a broken spine or be a hunchback by the time I graduate. What a bummer.

My Shakespeare class is pretty fun. I like the Bard, his masterful use of words to convey so much in a simple sentence is rather mind-boggling. My Linguistics class is rather dull, but all the tests (including the final exam) are all open notes! But for all the ups and downs at Uni X, I still wish I was attending Hogwarts. I'd totally be in Ravenclaw, where 'Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure'.

Oh, I also got to go on an epic and awesome adventure down to visit Southern Brother! I went with Bestest Friend and it was the perfect end to summer. We hung out, read comics, played with the puppy, stayed up all night talking, went shopping, and got to enjoy southern culture. On the plane returning home, I seriously had to consider WHY I was leaving. I finally made up my mind that I will move down south some day, the question will just be south west or south east. Tra lalala, it will depend on where I can find a job.

Ummm pretty much any other news is really sad, so I think I'll skip that for now. I'd rather not end tonight's endeavor on a lame note.

Started watching Drop Dead Diva. LOVE it! Going to get the DVD from netflix. Any of my readers or random passers-by watch the show? Love to hear your thoughts on the show! :)

Fall Semester Lineup

Sheesh, is it even possible that the semester starts in less then a month?! Yipes! Where did time go??

But I'm totally excited/nervous/apathetic/sleepy/hungry when I think about my first semester at University X, it's gonna be intense.... But I'll survive. It's that 'What ever doesn't kill you makes you stronger' mindset that gets me through the 2 a.m. paper writing blitzes!

My schedule for right now is as follows: Monday/Wednesday Shakespeare's Early Plays 9-9:50, Myth & Religion in the Ancient World 12-12:50, Languages of the Wold 1-1:50.
Tuesdays/Thursdays British Modernism 2-3:20, Studies in World Lit 3:30-4:50
Friday is the same as M/W, except my Shakespeare class is an hour later, so YAY more sleep!

I like my schedule, and some of my teachers have gotten outstanding reviews, but I am hoping to drop a class and add in Sign Language level 1 if a spot opens. Fingers crossed!
