EEEEEEEEEEEK!

WOW! This semester has already got me running around non-stop! I've barely had time to breathe! Not only was I figuring out all my classes but my Border Plunge and Study Abroad stuff. So it turns out that Fr. Art didn't get the original email I sent on Christmas so he filled London Spring. So I put down my deposit for Salzburg. Not ideal considering recent events but everyone I've talked has not a single bad thing to say. As Eleanor put it, "It's not the people in Salzburg who are missing out on their sophomore year at UP, it's us who are missing out on the Salzburg year. I look at the stuff they're doing and I just want to cry." So that will be awesome.

I haven't even had time to put my binders together and I'm usually WAY anal about that. Marketing is going well. The teacher is a self-proclaimed jerk who only gives one A a semester. He reminds me of Mathews in that he's very brisk and blunt and will shoot you down mercilessly if you're wrong. So that already had me WAY fired up after the first class because I like a challenge. And I apparently respond well to that kind of teaching.

This weekend Maya and I drove 9 hours each way up to Schweitzer with Lindsey so she could work and not have to drive alone. It was a lot of fun. I've always loved road trips and we got to sled and hot tub and have some good talks that thankfully prepared me for the drama of yesterday.

Yesterday was very interesting. I'm glad that it went down the way it did. He really gets me. I just hope this all works out and the drama stays to a minimum. It's really hard to make myself hold back and remember that it's definitely not as straightforward as it feels. But for now, it feels good. Things haven't felt this good in a long time. I'm so excited :)
