Classes I would like to take
So, I was taking a look at Michelle's possible schedule and that made me think there are certain classes I'd really like to take:
ENGL 3007 - Shakespeare - As an English major, I am required to take a Shakespeare course; might as well get it out of the way.
GEOG 1403 - Biogeography of the Global Garden - There is this pesky Biological Lab/Environmental Studies requirement, and this kills both of them with one class, and it even has a geography emphasis. See, I'm not stupid.
MATH 1272 - Calculus II - I thought I was done with math, but for a BS I need this class. Might as well finish it as quickly as possible before I forget Calculus completely.
Plus whatever Freshman Seminar and possibly another class; who knows? I just know that the one class I really want is the math class. Sick, I know, but at least then it can be done. I'll have one maybe two Spanish classes I'll still need to take, but that's not too big of a deal. I'll get it done eventually.

Officially
Officially, I am attending the U next year (I even sent out the lovely little card thing today with the confirmation agreement). Both Stanford and Columbia decided they did not want me to attend, making my life considerably easier than I could have imagined. My mother is slightly heartbroken that I will not be at Columbia next year, but I don't think it will take her all that long to get over her grief once she realizes that I'll only be two hours away.
Overall, I am just relieved. I want to go to the U, but having to explain that I turned down Stanford or Columbia was not something that I was looking forward to. So, thanks to both admission boards for deciding I wasn't worth it.
I don't think it occurred to me how much the entire situation had been exhausting me until I arrived home last night after our little Debate get together, and I crashed for ten hours. I know the weather is not helping my mood, so I hope it's sunny tomorrow; otherwise, I am so going tanning. Fake sun is better than no sun at all; I don't care if I get skin cancer.
I saw Crystal on Thursday, and it was very exciting. I recommend
Children of Men to everyone; it is simply stunning, my little crush on Clive Owen withstanding. And the debate get together last night was quite fun; I miss the little ones even Tom, who talks more than my brother.
And to make the rest of you happier due to the nasty weather: a wonderful Costa Rica picture.

Who now?
Forever, yes, I know. Sorry, everyone, but look, I'm here, and I'm going to
try to post with more frequency than I have as of late. So here it goes.
I thought about doing a massive Costa Rica post, but then I realized, it would be way more fun to tell you everything in person with pictures and other fun things. I'll simply say, I had lots of fun, there were times when I missed all of you like crazy, the sun was nice, but I'm glad to be back home. You can see the pictures over on Facebook as I slowly load them since Facebook hates me right now and isn't allowing massive upload.
My college update is this: excluding the pretty-much-impossible scenario of Stanford accepting me when I check on Friday (1PM), I will be attending the University of Minnesota's College of Liberal Arts next year. I'm really looking forward to it; my intended majors are two things that I know I will enjoy studying, English and Geography, and I've accepted the fact that I'm going to be poor for the rest of my life. Yay!
In other news, today we had to identify 133 out of the 192-ish countries in the world in Human Geo and I didn't do too badly, 125/133. Most of them I missed were in Asia, as in Lebanon and Syria, Georgia and Armenia and Qatar and UAE; I also confused two in Africa... Oh well. I aced the "stans" (Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, etc) and Central/Southern Europe; I do know the difference between Slovenia and Slovakia. Hey, this is exciting for me; see my intended majors from above.
Otherwise kind of a blah day and tomorrow doesn't seem to promise anything overly exciting other than the political geography discussion. I'm sick, I know, shut up.
