...Well, in a month, anyways.  This semester is looking to be pretty great, for a number of reasons!  For example:

-I'm finally living off campus!  It's in a scary neighborhood, but I'll be with friends, PLUS I don't have to deal with campus housing and its insect INFESTATION.  (It's some crazy, nasty shit!)
-I'm taking Russian I with a friend.  It looks so challenging and interesting, which of course equals fun.
-I'm also taking some other cool classes, like one on world religions, which should be pretty cool.  I also taking (I think) a creative writing class.  The fact that I don't know is kind of scaring me...I think I should definitely check that out like, NOW.  Okay, I checked and I am. 

Other things in my life right now include knitting and crochet...I've been going through yarn like some kind of maniac.  My hand actually started to cramp up last night. O_o  It was sore this morning.  I took it easy today so I don't get like, tendonitis or some crap like that!  I made cool stuff though, mostly to keep warm for my D.C. trip this Christmas!  My dad's job is sending him there for work for four months, and my mom, brother, and I are going for 2 weeks in December.  I'm excited; I've been there once, but this time we're going to Baltimore, MD as well as Alexandria and Williamsburg, VA.  Oh, but back to fiber arts...I'm looking for more cool patterns!  I will post a picture of my scarf when I finally finish it.

I've also decided that for my summer classes I'm taking French I and II.  I might take another language, but I think in the summer they only offer Spanish, French, or Italian.  I guess Italian would be okay...but I'm never going to be able to properly speak Spanish, so I give up.  I understand every word of it that is spoken to me (my family is Mexican, and I grew up hearing it all the time- actually, nevermind, I STILL hear it all the time!), but there is some sort of mental block that is keeping me from answering in Spanish.  So...I gave up a while ago.  It just doesn't interest me.  Sorry family...

Speaking of family, it is so boring around my house!  I didn't do anything today...at least not anything majorly productive.  I spent like, four or five hours on the computer and skype just in case my boyfriend got on.  He's been in Belgium since the beginning of the month, so I'm starting to miss him pretty bad right about now.  His mom and sister got back yesterday, but he decided to stay an extra week. -__-  Lame.

I am keeping myself occupied right now by learning basic phrases in Russian.  I'm not sure how hard it will be for me to learn the language, so I'm trying to use this last month to get a head start.  You know, I've been doing this for like an hour, though, so I'm going to take a break...maybe eat something...maybe draw.  I have a pencil and eraser out already...hmm...what to draw...
