So I haven't posted a log in a while and I thought I probably should. I have no idea what I'm going to say, so this will probably ramble on and around a little more than usual. But anyways, life has really been good. Not like super, spectacularly exciting and amazing every second, but good. I like my classes and as much I do not want to write a 25-page paper, the research is really interesting and awesome...and time consuming. Ugh. I'm also in a 'lull' in my semester. All 5 of my classes have final papers, from my giant 25-page one to a couple 8-10 page research papers and whatever in between - it's going to be a lot of papers. So if I'm smart and prepared, I should start writing them now. I should actually be doing that right now, but I don't want to.
I've also been working on my schedule for next semester and that's really strange too. It's my last semester of school, maybe ever. (Hopefully not ever, because I'm pretty set on this social work grad school thing, but whatever). But at least for the next couple of years after this one, I will not be in school. I won't have a summer break. I won't be living my life split in half. I'll be living in one place and that is really exciting. I'm not sure how life is going to be like when I'm not in school, because basically all of memories have been in school, or summer vacation when I haven't had a job or anything. I know I use the word weird a lot, but a lot of things are weird to me. Life is generally weird, not what I expect or would predict, definitely not what I would plan on sometimes.
Oh, something else that's maybe important...I have been obsessed with Taylor Swift lately. I was obsessed with JJ Heller for the past few weeks, so it's a nice change. My roommate bought her new CD last week and I paid her for part of it so I could 'borrow' it. But I've spent way too much time looking up who/what people think her songs are about, because it's really interesting to me at least. But reading about her, Taylor Lautner comes up a lot because one of her songs is about him. And he is still very attractive. I've thought that Rupert Grint, who plays Ron in the Harry Potter movies, is attractive for a long time. I seriously love red hair; I've wanted it since I was 12 and I love it on girls and on guys. And he has nice red hair and a good smile. However, the character of Ron annoys me sometimes. Quite a bit, actually. He is not even close to being my favorite character in that series (his sister, Ginny, is close because she's awesome and also has the red hair). But I like Taylor Lautner even more, because I like Jacob's character. I've said before that if I had the choice, I would choose Jacob over Edward. Not just because Robert Pattinson is gross looking, but because he's also controlling and stupid. I did not think I was going to be talking about Twilight today. I like Taylor Swift better than Twilight; I just got distracted. The Harry Potter tangent I could expect. I'm almost as obsessed with that as I am with Taylor Swift.
As I keep going through school this last year, I'm more confirmed and more...terrified...of doing social work. I love kids and teaching and hanging out with kids comes almost completely naturally. I get along really well with 6-year olds and I love preschoolers. But kids in social work is depressing. Working with teenagers scares me more. I do not naturally have the social skills to talk to them. I usually think I'm weird and awkward and...ugh. But adolescence is also the most 'formative' and important time in someone's life, supposedly. Which actually just is more frightening, thinking that I could 'screw someone up' if I was a social worker with teens. But having the chance to write a 25-page paper on social work with teen girls for my ICS class is amazing. I love it. I love research, so it's pretty awesome. Life is great. I like my classes, my apartment, my friends.
I think I've written enough now. Life is good. I like Taylor Swift. I would be friends with her. I'm even more excited for Harry Potter which is in..15.5 days (!!). I should do my homework now.
Vaya con Dios.
