work out routine is not going as planned, even though I have a goal to lose five pounds. I want more girly clothing. I feel like I look like a boy more than I should. and yes, I know people won't really have to do a double take to make sure I'm a girl, mostly considering my large boobs, but still, I want more skirts and cute tops. I'm waiting for home before I shop 'til I drop. darius and I have a date with destiny, aka crossroads and edgewater mall.
I have decided that I WILL study abroad in France next year. I will work my ass off for these scholarships, I will try my best to get an Immersion Language Grant, and I will write the best damn essays they've ever read. it's not a matter of wanting this. I need it. I started college with the idea that I would spend a year in France, a year, and it's come down to this. which is why I absolutely have to do it. I know I can teach in FR after undergrad, but that wasn't my original plan. if I don't have enough to study abroad, then maybe I can use that money to spend time in FR by myself, or maybe with Emily? she and I were discussing the possibility of spending a month, or something like that, in Europe, maybe France and Spain (she speaks Spanish, me FR). I've got 6 scholarship opportunities, the language grant, and maybe some financial aid if I decide on the program in Arles. I would feel fantastic if, by Feb., I had 2000-3000 under my belt on scholarships alone (and maybe some money I make this summer. I've still got to buy my passport, which I plan to do before Christmas holiday). god, and airfare? I just remembered that. It will suuuccckkk. stupid planes.
I'm addicted to the Twilight series and the movie coming out in December. I've already started reading fanfiction. I'd like to think that, had I not had that conversation with Sandy and Dawn during lunch one day, 10th grade, I would never have become addicted to fanfiction like I am now. seriously, it's drug.
tonight, I'm going to see the midnight premier of The Dark Night. def means naptime before. my plans up until the movie starts:
send ju my college essay for proofreading (I'm submitting it for a scholarship...cross your fingers)
bike ride for half an hour. my legs need it..
nap for 45mins - an hour
dinner time!
watch two episodes of the wire
stand in line at theatre, most likely starting an hour before the movie starts. I'll bring a book.
I booked my flight back to school for my trip home in september. I'm riding down with my aunt and uncle, who will be here for a bike show. they're going to visit me before riding up to WI. we're leaving for home Aug. 31, and I'm returning via plane on September 10.
