Happy V-D!

...a little late, sorry... I forgot.

Daydreaming

...because 18 credit hours at school and 25 hours/week at work isn't enough...

UNM Continuing Ed has a Digital Photography Certificate Program... it would only cost (at the most) 5k for levels I and II...

Thoughts?

Wha?

My TWO moments (3 summaries in 45 minutes, 3 page paper in 30 minutes) of amazing productivity allowed me to procrastinate a bit.

...I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien...

...talk to the hand, yo...

... stay tuned for fun photos on Thurs! :)

Want more?

Who's in?

Productive Procrastination

...is usually how I roll. I've pretty much decided to add a second major (Linguistics w/focus in Signed Language) and graduate in May '09 instead of May '08. I think/hope it's a good move. They're letting me keep my minor (Psychology) too so it's pretty good stuff.

Any strong thoughts/opinions?

Current thoughts towards grad school (as they change pretty much weekly): Hit it up in August '09 (no change there) pr'ly in Portland, Seattle or...? ...and go for Psycholinguistics?

First Week of Classes...

I figured that since I did this last semester it might be fun to do it again. I actually found it quite interesting to go back and see what my first impressions were compared to my final impression.

T/Rs start off great... with a nice walk to school with Amy.

First class is Psych of Language, Nothing but positive thoughts!

Deaf Culture, a little intimidated but excited.

Positive Psych, a self-help class. I'm not so great at learning about myself in a direct sense so we'll see how this goes. Prof is on top o' shi*... photographed the entire class individually, printed off a sheet of everyone and has already memorized all the names of his class of 50. He would.

Alcoholism, hilarious prof... intimidating but I think the entertainment of her dry humor is going to be totally worth it.

Cross-Cultural Psychology... was only in the 2.5 hour class for 8 minutes (because the class was added 2 weeks ago and the prof hasn't picked out a book yet) so I don't really have a whole lot to say other than those 8 minutes left me with positive thoughts towards the class.

Directed Study w/Bob Fiala... gotta love getting credit for work you're already doing!

I'm technically registered for Women and Cultural Violence (which I was v. excited about taking) but I decided not to go to it (it's a Thursday only class so it was the last one I would've tried out) because I cannot take 21 hours... I figured it was best to not get attached and just drop.

I'm pretty excited about this semester and not really wanting it to be my last, but I'm keeping my options open.... we'll see what happens.

Another one?

Starbucks is opening their 4th location within a 1-mile radius of UNM (on Terrace and Central)... a bit ridiculous, don't ya think?

Old News

...already bought m' ticks... you should too.

Coachella

Please allow me to express myself in two very cliché ways....

A simple equation:

Tegan and Sara + Rilo Kiley + Death Cab for Cutie + Stars + Metric + Portishead + The Streets + Minus the Bear + ALL IN THE SAME PLACE = FRICKIN' AMAZING!

A good ol' MC commerc for you:

1 plane ticket = alot
2 nights stay = alot
1 ticket to music festival = alot
Nichole seeing a good majority of her favorite bands in one weekend= PRICELESS
