"Brokeback Island", featuring Jack and Sawyer. XD Awesome.

Should be working right now, heh... Have a midterm on Friday, as well as an essay topic proposal due that day. Maybe I should drag my sorry ass to the library...

Anyway, in other news: I may be going to Europe this summer, after all. I just found a program similar to the one run through Malaspina that I posted about a few months ago, and there's still room in it. It's run through Langara, and is a 6-week trip to Florence/Rome in May/June. It's an Art History course, and is worth 6 transfer credits. There are 20 students, and we live in mobile homes in campsites (which both have pools. XD). We leave April 30th, and return June 6th. It sounds awesome; I really want to go... I wanted to go on the Malaspina one, but it was full. I have to have an interview with the coordinator and answer some short paragraph questions on why I want to go, but I'm fairly optimistic. I mean, I've been to Italy several times in the past, I'm interested in art, and my dad's an artist... and I can bullshit my way in if I have to. ;p Mostly I'm concerned about the money, although my mom assures me that we'll find enough. But it does mean that my job options this summer are more limited (since I'll only have 3 monthes), and therefore I won't make as much money this summer. Still... my grandmother has quite a bit of money set aside for me, and she thinks I should go. Plus I still have some money from my great-grandmother's inheritence. And I can always take out a student loan for next year if I have to. It's not going to kill me, and I've made it through 3 years without one...

And don't worry, rainbowpegacorn - if I go, I swear that we'll still celebrate your birthday either before I leave or when I come back. We have a couple of days b/w your last exam and when I leave to go to the bear building workshop. :) I definitely want to do that still! And anyway, I'll bring you back prezzies from Italy to make up for not being there on your birthday... and I'll try to call or at least e-mail you on the day.

I'm going to meet with my IDST advisor this week to show her the program and see if I can get credit for it; I also need to see her to go over what I plan to take at Brock. Then hopefully I'll have sent in my application by this weekend. Eek, I'm kinda nervous since it's such a big committment, but otoh I need to stop thinking that I'll do something and then not doing it. I really do what to do this, and it'd be a great experience. The idea of going away alone doesn't really make me nervous anymore, considering that I've been living partially alone for several years. And it'll be fun to be in Italy with a group of students my age who are interested in the kinds of things I am. And hell, I'd be studying art history in the centre of the Renaissance... what beats that? ^__^ Anyway, it'll be a trial run for going away next year. ^^ Plus, bronzejarith, maybe we can meet up over there?

Here's the website for the program, if anyone's interested: http://www.langara.bc.ca/study_italy/

Well, I should probably go get some work done... lazy bum. <_<
