This coming semester, I'm taking a Latin American studies class. I'm pretty excited, since my classes thus far have been strictly regimented according to my major... while this does fulfill a humanities credit, I, of course, could have opted to take some obscure French class (which would pertain to my minor.) But I'm a free spirit, so I chose LAA 1oo (gotta love the 100 level classes...) which not only sounded extremely interesting (being obsessed with maps and the world and all) but only meets once a week for an hour and a half and is 3 hrs. SCORE. I got a little nervous though that it was a little too perfect of a situation and maybe the books would be terrible. I'm glad to report that is not the case. Well, so far anyway. Based on the reviews and excerpts, they seem like quality reading material. I started one, Dreaming in Cuban which I already love. Maybe this is my reward for having an awful fall semester... Oh, and the picture is of a stack of some of my books plus a book about Japan I am sending to my brother (who is living in Okinawa.)
In other news, life is pretty decent. Except I'm sick with a cold and have basically been sleeping watching TV for 3 days straight. Productive, I know.
This turned out being a longer post that I anticipated. I guess with my mind free from the constraints of learning, I am at liberty to ramble away... What a lovely thought :)
