So when I got a blog for college, I was sure I would have tons of exciting stuff to write about. But really, college isn't that different from high school. I study a lot, hang out with friends, and go to football games. But here's what has happened lately:
Some friends of mine and I became completely obsessed with four year plans. They (and UGA Bulletin) are addictive. But I do now have it worked out so that I can be a double major (English and Linguistics), double minor (Latin and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), double emphasis (Creative Writing and Advanced Studies in English), and study abroad twice (at Oxford and maybe in China). I'm also probably going to do Tolkien research this summer! So I'm really excited about that. Next semester I'm taking Honors American Lit after 1865, ENGL 4000 (the intro class for English majors), Ecology 1000, Roman Biography, and Second Language Acquisition.
A couple weekends ago I went home for my mom's birthday, which was really fun. I got to see Sumi and Caroline (and eat some bagels and Hibachi San--yummy!), plus hang out with my parents and go shopping. The next weekend I spent the night at Tech after going to the Third Eye Blind concert, which was awesome if sleep-depriving. Then this weekend I went home for Sumi's Diwali party, which I then discovered was actually tonight, so that didn't work out, but I did get to go to the Avenue with Sumi, Courtney, and Anqi, and then hang out at my house with them plus Emily, so that was of course amazing.
I've also been watching this really cool show called Pushing Daisies, which is about a guy who can bring dead people back to life (with certain restrictions). It sounds weird, but it's actually really cool.
I'm going to go watch that some more...
