A New Year Begins

Well, here I am at UT again, about to reregister my life! ahh hahaha. I mean that literally, too: I'm changing majors, so I have to go through an add and drop process right now, but it'll be totally worth it. I am still majoring in Music, but with a BA so I can double major. And what, you might ask, am I majoring in? BA in Music (probably Music History) and Linguistics, hopefully with a minor in French. I'm excited! 

In a way I'm sad about switching from Choral Studies, but I think it's just because I'll be closing a chapter in my life. For the best though, I believe. I'll have more diversity in my curriculum this way and more job opportunities. A win.

Hasta! Gotta go register!

:)

The end of the beginning...

So, somehow, I'm done with school. My freshman year of college is gone and I can never get it back! This just isn't right! Being a sophomore will force me to be more responsible, engaged, and serious, right? Gosh, I hope so about the first two, and I hope not about the last one. Seriousness is boring, and I really hate boring. 

Anyway, so I'm about to embark upon SUMMER. I think summer is such a tease, personally. You always expect it to last forever, and it goes by ridiculously fast, and almost everything that happens doesn't matter. Summers can be brutal, too, if you're not too busy. So much time to reflect can be bad. I think summer, if not planned well, or spontaneously enjoyed, can be disastrous. I guess that's why people always notice how much their friends have "changed" after summer. It's just weird because summer doesn't technically give a person as much time as the school year to dramatically change- there's just more time to think about yourself, so you get a drastic haircut, lose a lot of weight, become a vegetarian, etc. Summer is our time to change ourselves before a new year begins, so we don't repeat the same "faux pas" of the previous year. 

We need summer, but it just goes by so quickly. 

But, for now, it hasn't even officially started yet, so I'm going to continue to dream about it :)

Yogurt (and a trickle of other topics)

I can't believe this new addiction! I am quite literally obsessed with yogurt right now! Oh, and I mean frozen yogurt, not just your average plastic lunch cup from the super market. Surprisingly, this creamy goodness is fat free! How can this be?? I can't even begin to wrap my mind around it. 

Okay, so I'm uber nostalgic for Europe. Where? Mainly Paris, but Rome is also sounding good about now. I miss the smells, the people, the fashion, the old-world charm, THE FOOD. I have consistently been going to Europe every other year, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to continue that trend by going next year! This year would be even better though. 

It's funny how often I find myself thinking about food, now that I'm in college. I think it's just because I don't get good food all the time like I used to (and by that I mean from Whole Foods) because who knows where Hardin gets their food from. 

In sum: I'm pretty sure I've got food on the mind! Typical me, though!

Copying Cousin Cor

Ummm, so I don't think I've blogged since Xanga, which certainly got me into some trouble, but I'm thinking this will be fun/a waste of time- just another thing to add to facebook! haha. 

Well, school is almost over, and I feel like I've really grown a lot. I don't feel like I've been too crazy this year either, which pleases me.   I mean, yes, I've partied some, like most freshmen, especially UT freshmen, but I don't think I've been stupid about it. I know my limits, and I've never exceeded them. 

I really thought for a while that I didn't want to be a music major and that I didn't want to go to UT, but I'm now seeing that I do want both of those things. I like it here, and yes, I didn't think I would- AT ALL- but it's starting to feel like home: Austin is a great city, my friends here are lovely, my professors are sooo good and so personable. AND MY PARENTS DON'T HAVE TO REFINANCE THEIR HOUSE! 

I am SO excited about being a choir teacher one day! I just know that it will be the perfect, most rewarding job for me! 

I have to go shower (yes, i realize it's 2:3 6- GROSS)

Peace, love, and pancakes.
