Oh the Things that I've Done & the Places I've Gone




Hello!

I've been so busy lately it's really ridiculous.

We'll start with the fact that I changed my blog title picture. I took a picture of a chocolate rose and edited it and I have to say it looks really delicious.

Chocolate has been a theme for today.

In Spanish I got to talk about how much I like chocolate for most of the hour. Then, when I went to French I got to continue my conversation in a different language because both languages are on the food chapter. Despite making me incredibly hungry I absolutely LOVE this chapter in both languages. I was craving chocolate so bad after class that I went to the Purple Onion and ordered the usual Small Mocha with Whip Cream and an extra shot of espresso. Delicious.

I also met with my Spanish/Portuguese Advisor today and he said going to Spain my junior year would be kind of worthless because I would only need one more Spanish class by then. So guess what?! My new plan is to go to France! Ahhh I'm so excited!

Venezuela for the millionth time is an absolute go. I've pretty much got my parents to be 100% okay with it with some strategical planning, saving, and convincing.

In other news, my Freshman Writing paper did end up turning out to be complete crap. I felt so strongly so that I didn't (and don't plan to) read the comments my peer editing partners wrote. Instead, I completely re-wrote it last night and changed the story to make it better. I will say that it is much better and I am no longer ashamed.

Yesterday I had quite a workout. I am very happy to say I'm back to doing yoga!! So, Mondays and Fridays are awesome for that reason. Also, yesterday I ran to the gym because I was late for the time Mike & I said which was a workout as well as mildly embarassing running around in the slush. I looked like a wannabe track person. I really like the gym though so it's okay.

I saw The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus Sunday night. I really liked it despite being really really weird. It reminded me of a different version of Alice In Wonderland just because it has so much imagination behind it and it was so beautifully edited/filmed/had amazing visual effects. I would recommend it if you're into those kind of movies...if not, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't approve.

Volunteering was really boring on Sunday because almost nobody came in. I hope not every Sunday is that dull because even though I am incredibly scared of not knowing how to say what I want to say, I do really want the Spanish experience. My friend came in to visit me and then gave me a ride back which was really nice. I have more to say related to this, but I just won't.

Oh, I went to a fashion show on Saturday put on by the design majors at the U of M. It was really epic. I'm so jealous of their amazing talent. I would have bought a lot of those outfits if I could find/afford them. Plus, I really loved a lot of the music. Afterwards I went to Sajinee, Temi, and Jessica's room to order Chinese food and watch Will & Grace with Sandra and Sonya. I love them all and the Chinese food was super good!

Hmmm...that's about all I feel like writing about. There was more, but I feel like you don't care to hear all of it.

Iron & Wine is the most beautiful band ever right next to Belle & Sebastian, Vampire Weekend, and the New Pornographers. Ohhh how I love music.
