Right now, I am sitting with a bunch of dirty boys. So dirty, I refuse to make a video. 
So I freaked out this morning and thought it was Wednesday and that I had totally missed my post. Like all day until I got home, I was freaking out. Then I got home – like at 1500 – and relized it was only Tuesday. I just about died in self-humiliation.
So since everyone else is talking about school, my classes for the first trimester are English 105: Journalism, Art 100: Intro to Visual Fundamentals, and English 270: Reform & Renaissance (some American Lit class). My books are going to cost me around $150.00 with my bookstore discount, but I will probably buy some online. I will also spend $150.00 – $200.00 on art supplies. BUT, I still don’t start classes until the 22nd…. so, whatever.
Life still = work and hanging out with some friends. And lots of random sleep patterns.
I have been thinking a lot about study abroad lately and I am getting super excited about it. My school is well-known for its statistics (85% go abroad) and most is covered by tuition, scholarships, and financial aid, so it is pretty expected that I will go. I was a little undecided, but I am positive that I am going, and I want to go to Scotland. That way I can easily get to London or France (thank you, the chunnel) for winter break. So, I was wondering what everyone else thought about study abroad. How does your school deal with it? Can you go? Do you want to go? Where would you go?
Maggie – I can’t say I forget anything, especially with my house so close to my school. I have also lived in a dorm all year, so I haven’t had to take things home and re-pack. Whenever I need (more like want) anything, I head to Target, Wal*Mart, or Meijer’s (yay for Meijer’s).
The Word of the Week:
precocious • \prih-KOH-shus\ • adjective
- 1 : exceptionally early in development or occurrence
- *2 : exhibiting mature qualities at an unusually early age
Example Sentence:
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a precocious child who, by the age of five, was already composing his first musical pieces.
Did you know?
“Precocious” got started in Latin when the prefix “prae-,” meaning “ahead of,” was combined with the verb “coquere,” meaning “to cook” or “to ripen,” to form the adjective “praecox,” which means “early ripening” or “premature.” By 1650, English speakers had turned “praecox” into “precocious” and were using it especially of plants that produced blossoms before their leaves came out. By the 1670s, “precocious” was also being used to describe humans who developed skills or talents before others typically did.
*Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence.
Did you already know the meaning of precocious? I’ve heard it, but I don’t know if I knew what it meant….
That’s all I really have
loves.
PS. Anyone else love the 12 chapters of Midnight Sun? This nerd does and she can’t wait for the rest because, honestly, Stephenie Meyer needs to write the rest of it. The leak is just stirring up press. Someone thinks “the leak” is just a strategic move…
(check Stephenie’s homepage under Midnight Sun if you don’t know what I am talking about )
