Long Time No....See?

There are lots of things to talk about today! It has been a busy few weeks! However, before I go into recap mode, the top news of the hour: as a sophomore, I got a single room for next year! How amazing is that? My would-be roommate was also able to hop up onto my room pick number and get the last single. The both of us are sad that we won't be rooming together, yet we are thrilled to have singles! I think I've just about exhausted my exclamation point quota for the post. Yay!!!! There we go, all better now.

Now, I'll attempt to focus...keyword: attempt. By now all of the midterms for this semester are through; I had my last one, calculus, on Tuesday. While I could be happier with my results, they turned out well enough. There is room for improvement that I plan to jump on!

Spring break was last week and it was wonderful. You would think that a week of time to chill would serve as an excellent prerequisite for a blog post, but surprisingly it didn't. A magnificent excess of quality television that lasted until 6am one night was particularly spectacular, though it did have repercussions for my sleep patterns. You notice I say quality television? Just to be clear -- I didn't spend time watching paid programming; Hulu was a good friend of mine last week.

I hate to leave you hanging but I'll have another post up soon with the rest of the news from your very own melodramatic double major. I just don't seem to be able to focus as I am still inwardly 'squee'-ing over my room for next year!

The Benefits of Daily Mass

Never let anyone tell you daily mass isn't worth it. There is nothing like a quick half hour with God to get you back on your feet and motivated to do the ten pounds of Organic Chemistry homework awaiting you in your room. It is especially wonderful for me because I am usually playing guitar/frantically trying to find the page of the song during the times in Sunday mass that are set aside for personal prayer. In short, daily mass is absolutely wonderful and highly recommended!

With my renewal of motivation after mass, I'm ready to tackle my film, television and theater seminar homework but I don't think I'm quite ready for orgo. Toss in a couple more prayers for salvation and we'll see what happens.

I have returned to my debacle considering majors with a slightly more optimistic eye. I think I have a few majors that I would enjoy in addition to my SCPP major. (Forewarning: I use the term 'few' loosely.) To make things even more complicated, I had the brilliant idea that I could just stay with one major and minor in all of the fun things I enjoy. I am planning on making pro/con charts for my potential majors -- let's just say that it might take a wee bit of a long time.

Now that I have kept you waiting with baited breath for the revelation of this little freshman's options, let me clue you in. The potential majors are anthropology-- focusing on medical and biological anthropology--Spanish, psychology, and theology. Maybe medieval studies could find a home on that list as well as theater. As for supplementary majors, there is a Spanish supplementary major, a theology one, and a medieval studies one. Carefully peeking around the corners of the majors wait all of the options for minors: anthropology, education, schooling and society (ESS), liturgical music ministry, science, technology and values (STV), medieval studies and theology.

Lots of choices, I know. Hopefully I will be able to narrow these down before making a pro/con chart. Otherwise, I am going to kill a lot of trees!
