Longest week ever. After my fun weekend I have to admit coming back to class was not ideal. Monday was Monday. Nothing exciting, just went to class, went to the library and found a way to waste multiple hours doing nothing. Well okay, not nothing. I starting thinking ahead and began to try and plan out my senior year at WSU. The funny thing is that I honestly have nothing to take. It took me hours to try and find something half meaningful to take to graduate. I will be done with my major requirements by taking 2 classes in fall... so that leaves miscellaneous classes to fulfill the stupid 120 credits for graduation... My solution has become that I plan to minor in Woman's Studies.
After Monday comes Tuesday, and I actually skipped my first class ever... I didnt go to my Irish Politics tutorial. I feel bad but i figure missing one wont kill me, or my grade. Which funny, we got a new adviser for political science at school(WSU), and she wrote me an email about how shes unsure if my credits here will transfer, even though i got them pre approved. awesome huh. So disregarding the fact that my grades could possibly mean nothing here, I didnt feel well and didnt go. In my other favorite class we talked about international institutions and in that tutorial one of the other American girls did a really fun simulation for her presentation that kept everyone intrigued. It was the first tutorial where we ran out of time and people were talking the whole time. I also discovered that none of the non American students had EVER i mean EVER done a peer review and seen another students work.. That fascinated me. Something we definitely take for granted and see as normal that really isn't in other school systems.
Anyways then now its Wednesday. I dont have class on these days so I slept in too late, hung around, then went grocery shopping which is always an epic adventure. I found the wholefoods store though! its literally the size of a small room. But it has some really good stuff. Stuff from home that just made me so happy and the comfort of familiar. They had the soap my dad uses, and echinacea, and the tea my mom has, and Toms toothpaste and silly stuff like that. It was awesome. I got some homemade hummus and some good organic chocolate and tea and other stuff to. I am very excited to eat it all. When I got home I decided to make this enchilada recipe that my little uses. She made it for Patrick and I before we all left for winter break and they were delicious, so she passed it along to me. I had Clarissa come over and eat with me because i made enough food for about 3 more people. Ill have leftovers for days but im excited because they were so good! Clarissa brought over a salad and we ate which ended up being quite fun. Sabrina came over after that and we all hung out in my room and watched Sixteen Candles. That brings you up to date almost to the hour on my eventful life in Belfast. It feels like a very slow week that's for sure. But need not fear because Makenna is coming to visit me tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't be more happy! I cannot wait to see her and were going to go out and its going to be amazingly fun! YAY! Ill take pictures and update when she leaves on Sunday :)
