Man, I'm Bad at Updating

I've been swamped lately, so here's an update until I have something real to say.

I've discovered a lot of "new" blogs in the past couple days. I put new in quotes because they're fairly established and I just happened to stumble upon them.

Blogs:
Feministe
Raciewire
Sociological Images (quite awesome)
Texts From Last Night


There's another feminist site I frequent called Feministing. I like it much better than feministe, because it updates more and it has a lot of different posters. But feministe is good too. Texts from last night are mostly drunk texts, some ridiculous booty call texts, and the occasional drug text. It's really funny. Racewire and Sociological Images are along the same topic, one dissects pictures while the other just discusses topics of race.

In an update from the last post, I did get External Vice President of ASA, which means I am not only an officer in every organization I am in, I am also on the executive board of every organization I am in. I'm going to have to start going to more organization meeting, just to stay visible for Coalition for Diversity.


Coalition is going to be awesome. I am happy with our board of officers. The vice president is really helpful and really committed to this. The girl who was also in the running for the vice president is now one half of the PR chair, and I think she will do great there. The Cahnz is the treasurer which is good because she had some great ideas for fundraisers with ASA so hopefully she can bring that over to us. I'm excited.

I have been listening to a lot of music I listened to when I was younger (14-15) and it has taken on somewhat of a new meaning for me. I thought I understood them back in the day, but I still find new things in every song. If you read The Moviegoer, there is a ritual the main character does where he does something very similar or identical to something he did in the past to try and eliminate the time that happened between the two happenings. I feel like I get how that works, but then again, not really. Oh well.

I've been talking to Morgan a lot about language and stuff like that, and she really makes me excited to learn a new language. After talking with her, I really want to buckle down and actually learn Spanish. I have to study really hard for my final coming up anyways, so it will be easy to start figuring out the conjugations. After I get all those down, I will have a basic grasp of the language. I just won't have a good pool of vocabulary. Morgan speaks French almost perfectly, and sometimes we have small conversations where she speaks in French and I speak in Spanish. It's actually really fun.

Class is over. Dead days extend until this Tuesday. My first exams are on Wednesday. Next Monday is my last exam. I don't think I will be leaving until the 13th since I wanna go to this social night a friend is putting on. The after that, it will only be 2 weeks until I move into my apartment. That will be awesome. I cannot wait.

Hasta luego!
