The past few weeks of my life have been a major blur and a ton of work. I can't believe I'll have finished my first year of college in two short weeks. It's crunch time, and unfortunately, I won't be studying at all this upcoming weekend. One of my friends is getting married, so I'm going home!
You know how you hear stories of people in their thirties (or maybe late twenties?), working and single, while all of their friends get married? It's happening. Except I'm nineteen and about twelve of my friends will be married by the end of this month.
Last Thursday and Friday was the Stand Up for Love demonstration, inspired by Judy Shepard's lecture and the premiere showing of Laramie Project. Despite my original involvement, I was not present either day.
I spoke with Dr. Schad yesterday about becoming my adviser for History, which I've decided to officially take on as a co-concentration (along with Political Science). Today, I spoke with Dr. Langran, whom I asked to become my adviser for Political Science. She suggested that I instead create an ISP (Individualized Study Program), which will also allow me to study Communications. I need five courses each in Poli. Sci. and History, and four in Comm. (I elected to take Comm. as my minor since Albright doesn't have a straight Journalism program). I definitely think I'm on the right track so far -- these are the classes I have either taken or will take next semester:
History (3): HIS211 (African History); HIS283 (Women in the Middle East); HIS255 (Islamic History)
Political Science (2): POS202 (International Politics); POS283 (Obama's Foreign Policy)
Communications (3): ENG102 (Writing About Literature, Honors); ENG250 (Mass Comm. & Society); ENG222 (Writing for the Mass Media)
I'm still contemplating adding Modern Middle East to next semester's schedule. I already have four classes scheduled, and I want to make sure that I am doing my absolute best in all of my classes (if my GPA ever drops below a 3.8 it'll be the end of the world). Actually, it'd probably be the end of the world if it dropped to a 3.8, considering how upset I was over last semester's 3.918. . . .

A Different Way of Thinking
I am a current second-year resident of Mohn Hall, which is a fairly ancient and small residence hall notorious for stink bug invasions and strange skunk odors filtering through the equally ancient and frequently-malfunctioning heating/cooling unit. Mohn is also well-known for the fact that cell phone reception is best in the stairwell and the fact that residents can leave their laptops in the lounges without fear of having them stolen. These are my misadventures (and adventures) as I survive on-campus housing and my second year of college.
