plans we make

I've had a lot of time to think over the past few days. Mostly about random things, but also some good stuff too. New Zealand is just a few days away, it seems. I'm going to have to start a new chapter of this blog. I may even change the name. (Granted, I don't know who is bringing a computer to NZ or if I'll even have the internet to update.)

Speaking on New Zealand, I will be traveling an unbelievable amount. Here's what I have to do just to get there:

1. Baltimore to Chicago.
2. Chicago to Iowa.
3. Iowa to Chicago.
4. Chicago to Los Angeles.
5. Los Angeles to New Zealand.

And then, of course, it'll be the same thing coming home. Fortunately, I'll be living in Cedar Rapids this summer so I don't have to fly all the way to Baltimore!

Other things I've been thinking about? I'm just a little behind in my journals. I feel much more confident about them, though. I've heard that I've been doing well with my writing - which apparently not everyone is. Unfortunately, I have to make up what I've missed today (wandering 57th St. galleries) and that's going to be a bitch.)

In other news, I recently updated the classes I have remaining to graduate. I'm going to post them for no reason other than I'm bored.

For Gen. Ed-
1. lab science (Anatomy and Physiology)
2. non-western perspective

For Theatre Major-
1. history of theatre and drama 2
2. technical lab 4

For the WC-
1. topics in composition 4

For Creative Writing-
1. literature class 315 or above
2. fiction 3 or poetry 2
3. manuscript

Fortunately, this isn't much at all. 4 classes per semester, and two of the classes are only once a week. I'm only hoping that I can fit everything in without any overlapping classes or other such problems. Cross your fingers for me!

Anyways, since I have the night free, I'm going to work on catching up with my journals. Off I go.

i'm blogging because my dad wants me to

Hey there. It's been a long time since I last wrote. This is mostly because I haven't done anything that's worthy of talking about. Until today.

In case you don't know, it's been BEAUTIFUL here for the last couple of days. Today was a stunning 60 degrees, which means that I took off of work early, went home to change and pick up John and then the two of us went for the longest walk. First we went to Riverside Park, which is unbelievable. It was exactly what I needed. Then we walked to Times Square, 45th Street and attempted to win lottery tickets to see Hair for 25 bucks. We both lost, therefore we had the night free to walk around more. Stopped at Macy's, which John hated, and then walked home to have dinner (John's treat since I'm paying for Hair when we see it) at Manhattan Diner. Yummy!

In other news, I went to the Banff Mountain Film Festival and got to watch a few short films. Most had to do with extreme sports, traveling and adventure. It inspired me to chose exciting things for my life. Unlike the boring things I've been up to lately. As soon as I graduate, I'm finding a true love, hittin' the road, and making friends. I will celebrate and take no moment for granted. Cheers.

Tomorrow we go to the Symphay. My least favorite. (Also, I'm behind in my journals and I don't even mind because I know what I want from life and don't need anyone's permission or support.
