Little Bit of Everything

Today was a pretty mellow day.  I only had one class, in which we shared our rough drafts for peer revision... I did finish my essay in time!  Then I went to the writing center to take advantage of my resources.  The best thing about today, is that I got hooked on another show: SCANDAL.  It's great and I have a few easy weeks coming up in my classes, so I think I'm going to take advantage of these weeks and watch the first two seasons on Netflix.

I didn't know what to blog about tonight, so I kept asking Sara what I should write about.  Her response, all 17ish times, was, "ME!"  So here are a few fun facts about my roommate.

1) She loves owls.

2) She is a mermaid.

3). She doesn't like marshmallows.

#throwbackthursday Orientation with Sara

Because I didn't really want to write an entire blog about Sara, I asked my friend, Isaiah.  He suggested that I blog about wanting to learn another language, which inspired what is to follow.  One of the goals I've been mentioning is to know a little bit about everything, but I didn't say anything about what I want to learn.

1) I want to know the origins of words.

I'm taking a class right now, English Words and Their Origins, which should be helping me to learn the origins of words.  However, I hardly learn anything in there though, so I guess I'll have to pursue this one in some other way.

2) I want to know multiple languages.

I took three years of Spanish in high school and I learned a ton of Spanish.  I can read it okay and can speak it a little bit (it just takes me a little while to respond), but I can't understand it while people are speaking it.  Regardless, it's been a while since I've been in Spanish and I'm starting to forget stuff, so Isaiah, is going to start talking to me in Spanish so I can practice.  I'm not sure what I want to learn after Spanish, but I think it's important that I finish learning it before I start on anything else.

3) I want to know the history of art: painting, music, fashion, opera, all art.

I've been working on this one for a while, especially the history of painting and classical music.  Opera is next.

4) I want to know all about the Tudor Dynasty.

I have watched too many documentaries about Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn, but I don't know enough about Elizabeth.  Tomorrow I'm going to a lecture with Isaiah on the Tudor Dynasty, though, and I'm super excited.
