I just made scrambled eggs with garlic cheddar cheese (you read that correctly) so I was inspired. I'm probably going to stay in tonight and make no-bake oatmeal cookies with peanut butter and that nasty original instant oatmeal, haha. Saving money for Ireland by staying in :)
I'm going to the community library tomorrow, on my day off, to get some books and fresh fruit from the market. I've got a good recipe for baked apples in the microwave that I want to try.
I contacted the local voice company about taking lessons or finding venues to sing in. Not having a musical outlet is killing me. I might go to open mic night tomorrow just because I need to do something. Problem is, I don't have any accompaniment which could prove to be bad. I think I'm going to start making those sad youtube videos of me singing in my room. Hopefully my flat mates won't complain about the awful noise coming from my room, haha.
So I found out that I'll be finished with one of my classes on November 27th, after I hand in my paper... That. Is. Ridiculous. I have to identify two scenes from two movies that describe authority and gendered identity. I've been watching movies and I think I'm going with Role Models and Office Space for scenes. I'm a sucker for comedy and I want to get out of box of the "state" being the authority the protagonist struggles against.
I've got a presentation about film in British culture, a debate proving that advertising is progressive and positive in society, and an interview for the radio class to complete in the mean time before I have 3 more papers to write. I think the interview will be combined with a paper and that'll be everything for the radio class. Honestly, this isn't a lot of work and I'm comfortable speaking to people so I'm not worried in the slightest.
I'm getting really excited about Ireland. Less than a week till I'm out of England for a few days. It's going to be an interesting and low budget trip. I plan on buying stuff to make pb&j sandwiches to save some cash. This will be my first time staying a hostel and I'm excited! This is also a kick of to my actual traveling during this trip. The next two months are going to be filled with trips and I feel like they are going to fly by. Now that I've got my bearings, I'm ready for this.
Oddly though, I really want to go to Disney World and travel around the US more when I get back. I think I'm going to hold off on Disney as a graduation present to myself. I've got the rest of my life to travel around the US so I'm not in a rush. If I can successfully travel in another country on a budget, I can most certainly do it in my own. I'll probably make my way up to Boston again over winter break and we'll see where the wind blows next.
In home news, I successfully advised myself for the next 3 semesters. I will be taking 17 credits next semester (as opposed to my usual 21) but I will only need 20 credits to graduate with my degrees. Of course, I plan on taking more than 20 credits in my last year of college. Hopefully, 6 of those extras will be more internships but one can only dream. I will graduate with two minors and a major. Not bad, eh?
I'm just waiting for permission from the individual professors. I have department clearance as of now but all of my classes, but one, need permission. Tried to get all of my classes for Tuesdays and Thursdays so I could schedule my internship and work around it. I have a rehearsal on Mondays that is unavoidable but I don't mind that. I'm glad I kind of obsessed about making sure I was on track this whole time. If I didn't take extra classes, I wouldn't be in this comfortable of a position and I probably wouldn't have been able to go abroad.
Enough about that boring stuff. I'm dying for another hobby. I know I should use writing as a creative outlet and I have a ton of material to write about but I just don't feel like doing it. I think I'm going to force myself though. Why let a talent die? The only way to get better is to practice so this will be good for me.
Alright, I hope you're not getting tired of my rambling. I'll try to find something more interesting to write about for my next post.
