Weekly Update

School: Classes are going ok, I'm behind in my cinema class because I'm too lazy to wake up early on Wednesdays to watch the movies with Maria. I haven't started any of the 3 papers I have due in about a month and a half. And as with Japanese, I've begun to feel quite dumb in the class. Almost everyone outside of my little corner has studied abroad in Japan, or has studied it longer, or knows kanji because they know Chinese....I feel quite stupid compared to everyone else. We have begun to write and speak more in class. I'm horrible at writing with kanji, remembering past vocab, and reading fluently.

I'm thinking of stepping down from being the secretary of Towson Conservatives this semester because I don't have the time to go to all these functions and I feel bad about it.

I'm a little upset that the people that run the Quidditch club are so flippy. No one gives straight answers about the meetings and I have the feeling that the club won't last- which makes me sad.

Work: My first day with live training was last Sunday and I have a feeling my first full day on register will be tomorrow. I'm actually excited. I still don't remember how to do a lot of things but all I can do is try. At least I know I'm good at returns Hahahaha.

Personal: Now that I've handed in my study abroad application I'm getting more and more nervous. There are so many things that can go wrong before I feel confident I am going. They have to accept me for one thing, Mom has to be able to work my financial aid out, I need to get that scholarship they are offering, etc. Until I'm on that plane heading over there I will still feel that this is a dream. I've also begun to think about feeling homesick. I have no problems being away from home, but the longest I've ever been away was a month and a half. Potentially I'll be away for 5 months with the only contact being through email. I'm not sure how I feel about that yet.


Current Mood: Contemplative
Current Wish: I wish the heater in my room worked so that the fire alarm won't go off when I turn it on because it feels like 30 degrees in here.
Current Song: The Prince of Egypt Soundtrack- When you Believe.
