I thought high school dances at home were fun, little did I know the levels of fun that can be reached when attending a college dance in a somewhat strange city. Yes I attended my first college dance. FALL BALL baby! It was at the Aquarium and we got to play with the tide pool animals, watch an otter show, take pictures in a crazy cool photo booth that projected our pictures onto the wall, all while dancing and having a great time. Yes college is the place for me.
So I don't know if I mentioned it, but I got a job! Twenty long and time consuming hours a week in addition to everything else that I am doing but I have to do it. It's how I am going to pay to be here. The job is promoting Health and Wellness, i.e. informing all these crazy college kids about the dangers of sex, drugs, alcohol, etc. I find it quite fitting and somewhat hilarious that the job I have fits perfectly with the ideals and example I try to uphold while living outside my element.
Although life is stressful it is also amazing. I am declaring a double minor in Global African Studies and Visual Art and I am very excited about it. Apparently it will take me approximately five years to finish the degrees but I believe it will most definitely be worth it. I also am now planning to do a study abroad to South Africa during my Junior year and if they can find the funding for it I am going to learn Swahili! (Is that how it is spelled? I should probably figure that out.)
I am now counting the days that I get to come home though! I miss the clean air and snow of home. Ski time and all that jazz baby! That is what I am anticipating, in addition to the wonderful compnay of all my family and friends of course.
Happy soon to be Thanksgiving everyone!
Lata!

Looks like you're finally stepping up to the plate and taking on your main responsibility: enjoying college! Yay you!
However. Neither of those majors you mentioned was English. Consult.
