Today, I took a magical trip to Davis, California. It's weird how different Davis and Rancho are, considering there's only a half hour drive between them, much like between here and ARC. But then again, Davis is a university town, so there's that.

Read up on some education abroad programs, and I think despite my initial interest in Germany, I may really want to go to Padova in Italy. It's the number one school in Italy, and it has Dramatics Arts and Music Studies as one of it's several specialties. Only downside would be that it's a full immersion program, meaning I'd have to take a shitload of Italian before I could go. Also, though I want to only go for a 4 month stint, I know it's gonna be pretty pricy since it's such a well-renowned school. So the idea of going in a year and three months is ... not possible. But, it is a goal to work towards, and besides, it gives me time to actually pick a major before I go.

Then again, there's also stuff in Germany, Japan, and Australia, and that's just what I found today, so yeah. Ah well, no need to rush.

Okie, well, I've gotta get my happy ass to The Boy's, so bye!

[A wild SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE appeared! Go to pointless-drivel.com on Sunday at 7pst and listen to me do my co-host stint on POINTLESS DRIVEL LIVE!

A wild SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE fled!]

Woke up this morning at 7:30 am (after at most five or six hours of sleep) pissing glass. Chugged water, pills, and cranberry juice until it stopped being feelable. Went to sleep at 11. Woke up at FIVE FOURTY FIVE.

Found information on that seminar thing before I left for it. Wouldn't qualify, credit and financial-wise, but I'm gonna go to UC Davis with my sister on Friday and check out some of their other study abroad programs, maybe go in Fall '08, maybe go to Germany like in my original plan for that sort of thing. So I stayed home.

Gonna go to SpiderMan 3 in a bit; well, an hour at the earliest. Wanted to take The Boy along, but he insisted on not being home when I called. Bastard. Well, maybe he'll call within the next hour or so and still have a chance. In the meantime, I'm finally starting on my damn Creative Writing final project of DOOM. And somehow, I'm tired again.

I'm really looking forward to the month I'm gonna have between the end of this semester and the start of summer semester. I really need to feel as responsibility-free as possible for awhile.

So Thursday, I get to go to my school at SEVEN AM for a final that will take fifteen minutes. You have no clue how unhappy I am about this. It's a fucking physical education final, too! All this work for one, maybe two if the typo is suddenly factual, units! Agggh!

But tomorrow, I'm gonna go to a seminar about their Spring '08 study abroad program. They're sending people to Paris for art, I do believe. I'll know more after tomorrow, cos I just saw STUDY IN PARIS on the flyer, didn't need much more to hook me, haha.

See, I really do want to study abroad and have that traveling experience, because I feel my life is very broke of travel. I mean sure, I've been to a couple hundred places in California, and then I do take the occasional trip to Nevada, and there was that trip to Chicago a couple years back, but that's IT. And my sister's going to Spain in the fall. SPAIN. So I just feel inspired to check out my own chances to do that sort of thing.

But simultaneously, I am in a relationship. And I do fret at the idea of "what if I by choice kill a really good relationship just to go to another country?" Plus, even if the relationship is strong enough ... I'm sorry, but shit happens when you're far from home and weird stuff happens with people in general, so one never knows how life could end up.

[Plus, I hate to be superstitious ... but in palmistry I have a travel line with two lines through it! That means my travels will result in bad things!]

So, thanks to my Creative Writing final, I get to spend the next week writing and rewriting. Rewrite my one story, write another story, rewrite that one, rewrite my poetry reading paper, write my letter about why I chose those stories or stories at all over poetry, rewrite the letter. I also have lines to memorize.

[Btw, I'M ON POINTLESS DRIVEL LIVE ON SUNDAY]

Which reminds me, the audition didn't happen because "they" took back the rights. Cos there might be a touring production in the works. Bastards!!
