I got into the class! YAY!

After an entire year of waiting, I was finally able to fit Portuguese 101 into my schedule!! I am so excited! I have wanted to learn that beautiful language ever since meeting many Brazilians as an exchange student in the Netherlands. :)





So next year my schedule is awesome. I just need to make sure I am able to work enough hours to survive at school. I think Lara and I will start selling our plasma, and I will try to get a job working at the football games. Reasons why include the fact that you get to be a part of the spirit of the game without paying for it, and the last ten minutes of the game you get to stand on the field. Thats my main motivation. And it doesn't sound TOO terribly boring. Hopefully between working for Jenny, and working the football games I can make it! Woohooo go college life!

Another thing that has been weighing on my mind lately is what I will minor in, or double major, if that be the case. I found something that sounds pretty interesting- travel and tourism studies. its under the umbrella of geography, and is one of the areas of emphasis. Anyways, it sounds cool. I think after next semester I can see how I like the geography class I'm taking for IR... if I like geography, then perhaps I will continue in that direction.

The second option I've thought about is minoring in international development. The thing is- what I want to do with my major is travel and help people. Sooooooooo... either of these options would hopefully allow me to do just that. But we'll just have to wait and see! Life is looking pretty exciting at the moment, like nothing can get me down. It won't last long. It never does.

My optimism was kick started by the fact that I was able to successfully run for 5 minutes on the treadmill today. that is so long for me!!! it was half a mile! :) I am on my way to recovery without those stupid physical therapists who hardly even helped me. I pray and I work hard. That's how my new regimen goes.
