As previously mentioned, I have officially switched majors. I'm now an English major here at Lourdes. I have my classes for next semester all scheduled. I'll be taking the following:
Studies in English Lit II
Studies in World Lit II
History of Christianity II: Reformation to Present
Approaches to Critical Analysis
In all, I'm certain it will be an interesting semester. It will definitely be intense on the reading end of things, but I think I can handle it. I'm actually really excited to be getting my English on again. It's one of the few subjects that I've always been passionate about. I love to write. The problem has simply been that I don't really feel as though I'm all that good at it. Alas! Woe! To think that I'm entering a field that will keep me occupied and constantly striving for better! (Was that sarcasm?! From me?! Surely you jest!)
My main focus now will be getting down to business on this insurance issue and finding a job. The bottom line here is that I'm tired of being broke. My friends want to do things like go out to eat, and I cannot in good conscience accompany them knowing that I'll be the friend chilling there with no money. The last few times I went out with the girls, they've insisted that I order and eat something, with one of them footing the bill. This is a lovely thing for them to do, and I know that they do it because they care about me, but it makes me feel like a total moocher. I feel even worse because I can't return the favors. And maybe it will make me sound materialistic and selfish, but I'd really like to have some things. I'd like to get copies of the music I love or a new piercing if I want one or a tattoo when the mood strikes me. I'd like to have some jeans that aren't full of unintentional holes. I'd like to not have to sew my clothes back together when something happens to my favorite items. I'm just tired of all the struggle.
When does my life get an easy button?
