When Life Gives You Lemons....

I feel like the saying 'When life gives you lemons make apple juice' is one of the best sayings ever, because it just stands to prove how random and sporadic life is, though I'm not really sure which one I'd go for more Lemonade or Apple Juice. I think a nice cold glass of Sweet Tea would do me just fine. I feel like with that one statement I'm giving away my geographical location, but it's okay. It'd be an absolute shame to hide my Southern roots.

So it looks like the Summer Adventures series thing didn't do so hot. Didn't have much faith in it anyway. Why? Cause it's me. But to bring this here little blog up to speed on my daily happenings I am currently enjoying a two week 'summer vacation' after summer classes before I have to go right back to school for fall semester. I'm trying to enjoy it the best I can, but honestly the prospects of having to start school all over again in a little over a week's time is really scarying me to death. Why? Meh. If I knew the reason maybe it wouldn't scare me so much. It could be alot of things. It's probably the school work though, because I'm ready for all of the extracurricular activities that come with a college life like hanging out with friends on campus, signing up for different clubs, and creating networks that'll help me advance my future. What I'm not ready for are the mindless classes full of international theories that I'll have to take.

I'll be taking five classes in the fall and they go a lil' sumthin like this (<- excuse the clichéd phrase): 1. Politics of the Pacific Rim (Asian Political Studies)- Hoping this is one of my favorite classes since I'm into most things Asia. 2. American Foreign Policy- Yea. Sure. Sounds interesting enough. 3. Fiction Writing- Hoping this'll be my favorite class ever. I love writing and this is the first time I'll get to it willingly for a grade. 4. Global Security- Yea I know I should care more about this topic than I do, but frankly I don't.

5. French 2002- I'm kinda glad this was the last class on the list. If I went to France for a four month period, the same length as this class, I'd be nearly fluent as oppose to only picking up the grammatical 'necessities' in this class. Actually I've been to France once before. Paris. And I think it's an amazing city. Isn't my Paris beautiful?

It is, isn't it? I have ambitions of going back, but for now it's school. School and work and friends and life. Fantasies of travel and grandeur can wait til after a have my college degree in hand. When the world wants me just as much as I want it. That's when I'll see France again. And hopefully it's on someone else's dime :)
