Gettin' in the swing

Hello, all my faithful readers!!!

I thought I should grace you with my cyber presence after a long absence. :) I am now getting into the swing of college life again. I have only three real classes this semester, two of which will be a real challenge. Spanish lit is already kicking my butt. I seem to be able to understand the lectures well, but the reading is sometimes beyond me. I also think my U.S. foreign policy class will be pretty tough, but I'm loving it. Well, I am loving it except for the girl that called me a rich, white, western male that shops at Abercrombie and buys sweatshop clothing. Um...clearly, she does not know me. I didn't much appreciate her verbal assault.

My honors project is beginning now too. I've watched two Schwarzenegger movies already - Twins and True Lies - and I plan to at least see Terminator and Conan before the movie marathon portion of my research is over. For those who don't know, I'm going to analyze Arnold's campaign speeches for some kind of rhetorical clues as to why he was elected into the governor's slot.

And I'm doing the RA thing. My girls and I have been hanging out, chatting, painting flowerpots, and sharing ice cream sandwiches. So far, so good.

This Labor Day weekend, my brother moved to town, and I'm excited to have him here. I also participated in a photo shoot and made a wedding cake (well, really an un-wedding cake). It was so nice to just be able to hang out freely with friends.

I hope all is well with you, my readers.
