- Movies: When I was back in Berea, I made a list of things I wanted to do this summer. Later that night, I lost it, never to be found again, but I remember one thing on there was to go see every movie I wanted to in theaters since I had been deprived of my normal movie-going experiences for the majority of last year. I've been four times to see two different movies (and those shenanigans have to come to an end because despite movies only being $4 or $5 here, I cannot afford that all summer). I saw Prince Caspian and Iron Man, the second being the source of my post title. Call me a conformist, if you will. I don't care what you say,though. As Tony Stark, Robert Downey, Jr. is both a bad ass and sexy as hell. The wallpaper for my laptop is currently from Iron Man. Mmmmmm... That is all I have to say on that matter.
- Piano: I began piano lessons about two and a half weeks ago, and I must admit that I've been very excited about it. So far (including today), there have only been two days that I haven't practiced since I first began, which may not seem like a huge deal for any of you, but in my thirteen years of playing instruments, I can't remember having practiced any instrument for more that three days in a row.
- Planning the Rest of College: I have decided that I want to double major in Spanish and sociology with a minor in peace and social justice studies. To do this, I'll be hella busy for the remainder of my years at Berea. I set up a tentative schedule that would allow me to still graduate in four years, but it also means I take summer classes and have 4.75-5.25 credits for each of my remaining semesters. In an email with my advisor, I mentioned possibly doing this in five years, but he advised against that, saying the school frowns upon people staying for five years. I can understand why, but it's not as though I would be staying for five years because I screwed around the first couple ones; a double major is a lot of work and can take time. What he suggested was that I stick with four years and sociology with a minor in Spanish, but he's just an advisor, meaning, I don't have to do what he says. I think I'll talk to some other profs and such when I get back in the fall and see what some other people have to say.
I guess those are the main things that are going on for me. For the regular, day-in-day-out kind of jazz, I've been enjoying the time spent with my sister, niece, and the rest of my family. I'll be vacationing with my aunt and uncle at Lake Erie from June 14-23, and then I plan on playing in Berea from the 25th to the 29th.
I hope all of you are safe and are enjoying your summers! I miss you dearly!
Copious amounts of love from your one and only,
Cocoa Goddess
