so long sweet summer, I stumbled upon you and gratefully basked in your rays...

So school has officially started and already kicked into high gear. I have midterms like the week after next. Crazy. I'm taking a Shakespeare class, which is not as bad as I was expecting. A Comm class on doc film which is much more boring than I expected. It's just that it's in the afternoon and the room is so dark and I am so tired...You get the idea. Oh and Intro to Race and Ethnicity in the 21st Century, which is super interesting and fulfills a GER I need. Sweet. I saw the hematologist and it was a complete waste of time. Basically he said nothing as he hadn't even looked at my test results yet and then he emailed me to say that he thought the "mutation" (quotes are his) was exaggerated (by my other hematologist) and in his opinion, it is not relevant to my case and what happened to me. So really I dunno what the deal is. It seems like I need to get a 3rd opinion or something. In other news,
I DECLARED!
Yep, I am officially an English major complete with an advisor and program proposal and I'm so excited about it. My advisor is this really nice professor who does a lot of stuff with gender and sexuality (my concentration) and 19th century literature (my favorite). So I stopped by her office hours, chatted some, and she said she'd be happy to be my advisor. And I got an advisor for Comm. Jeremy Balienson. Which probably doesn't mean anything to anyone except Lauren and Danny who should understand why that is a good thing. I also decided I'm not staying this summer to make up the quarter I missed because I'm not priority for finanicial aid this summer since I'm not a senior who needs the quarter to graduate. So, I will walk with you guys and either stay the summer after my senior year or come back for fall and finish up and get my dipolma. So school is good. Things with Duchess are great. I've had a few dinners with Annie, Jeanette, and Nadya and there will be more, but it'll be great when ya'll get back and we can have a big fun reunion. Love you guys!
