School ><
So I started school about 3 weeks ago. I'm only taking 3 classes this semester, 12 hours. Intro to Anthro, Stats, and Japanese 2. My teachers seem nice. Ohtani-sensei, my Japanese teacher, is amusing. He likes to go off on tangents, a lot. I laugh at least twice in every class of his though.
I also met this girl in that class, Kristen. She's also into yaoi. ^_^ We made friends. I'm envious. She proofs and edits for BL groups. I'm supposed to be proofing 3 chapters for my group, but I haven't yet. Whenever I get home, I always have a headache, so I don't want to and then I forget about doing it by the time the headaches gone. ><; Not good.
Why am I getting these headaches? I blame it on the stupid weather. Can't make up it's mind and so it's messing with my head. I hate sinuses. And medicine.
Speaking of medicine, my dad's have back surgery a week from Tuesday. He's going to be out of action for a few weeks. I wonder how long he'll actually last "relaxing". He's too much of a work-a-holic to stay dormant for so long. We'll see. Hopefully this will help with his problem and he'll be better afterward.
I am *so* broke right now. I was expecting to get a check for the remaining money from my financial aid this past week. I went to talk with the fin. aid people today and found out that I get half now and half later. That means that I don't get a check until March, because the first half was used to pay for stuff. -.- Not happy. I was planning on that money. I would've asked for more if I would have realized that.
Right now I'm majoring in International Studies. I've recently started thinking about double majoring in Anthropology, too. I don't think I will though, because I'm not strong-willed enough to get it all done in time, I don't think. I think I will minor in Anthro, though. That doesn't take quite as many credit hours. We'll see.
Speaking of school. There are two things I want to do before I graduate: study abroad and intern abroad. USF has a study abroad program to the Kansai region of Japan. I want to go. I was looking at the list of course descriptions they had, and there were 5 or 6 courses that sounded interesting (I could only take 4 or 5, though.) As for the interning, the Department of State has internships with different depts within it. Most specifically, it's possible to intern at embassies. I really want to do this, because, for the moment, I want to work as a foreign service officer after graduation. With this internship, I will be able to see if I really like it. The problem, is that I can probably only do one. Money-wise, this is most definately the case. I know which one I will pick, if I have to choose - I'll do the internship. But I *really* want to do both. With the study abroad you can stay with a host family. It would be so cool to be able to do it. I was thinking that I could study abroad for a semester and then intern for a summer, but it's still an issue of money. Studying abroad is expensive (trust me, I know) and interning would cost money too, though if I interned abroad, they would try to find me free or subsidized housing (I think that's what it said... anyways, it would be cheaper.) Well, I guess we'll see how it goes. I can always try to get scholarships for expenses and figure out a way to get credit towards my majors while I'm away.
