now I am home, full of jamba, sitting in someone's circle chair (it appeared in my kitchen, I don't know how it got there. it must be carlos's or david's) by the window and reading omnivore's dilemma and enjoying the ambient color play of dying sunlight and flower shadows. I saw the most brilliant blue bird fly by. it got cold-ish this weekend, I'm wearing a sweater now, but I'm sure I'll be accustomed to and loving it by the end of the week. once it's cold enough to merit a scarf but not a coat, I will be happy.
last night was so fun -- david is so hilarious. he's in italian 101 and he was helping me with pronunciation while I flipped through his book. now I want to learn italian. it would probably be easier than german for me, and certainly easier than welsh or swedish, but I think german may be more useful, because more places speak it and I could probably learn other romance languages later on my own, but I may need more help with german. I don't know. it's all so awesome. also, if I'm going to take another language, I have to decide if I'm graduating in 3 years or 4, cause if I start taking things I don't need, it's going to be 4. this is hard.

why would you learn welsh? i'm not one to talk, i would love to be able to speak any other language and i think gaelic sounds really cool it's no more useful than welsh.
ReplyDeleteyou could graduate in three years, and in the summer you could take a language class at nova, or audit one.
if you want we could both take german this summer. and we would be equally horrible at it. and if we needed help i have a friend who is almost fluent, actually a couple.
hon, I'm living in Europe this summer.
ReplyDeletedamn! i keep forgetting.
ReplyDeletewhat am i going to do without you?
also i need your mailing address.
you can ... come visit me?
ReplyDeleteI love your Mondays. Mine left a lot to be desired. Check my blog.
ReplyDeletei may have to do that. i need to get to europe.
ReplyDeletei also need to get a passport.
i might take summer courses. but during the time between spring and summer semesters you'll already be over there. so i could definitely make an attempt. i need to start saving now. that plane ticket will cost as much as a semester at vcu, or at lest byu.
a flight to paris is betwen 800 and 1000 dollars. that's less than a semester by a lot.
ReplyDeleteone way or round trip?
ReplyDeleteprices went up since I last looked, but round-trip is running about 1000
