I'm here, but I'm gone....

I think I've finally finalized my schedule. But now I'm enrolled in 3 upper divs + japanese. Not exactly the work load I had wanted this semester. But meh, I really had nothing better to do than hang out on campus/ in library all day.

I'm trying to think what else has happened since my last update. I'm obviously back in Berkeley. And for the people who I never contacted while at home: my bad. I've always been bad at things of that nature (social things).

The last 2 weeks at home were better than most of times being back. I watched a LOT of tv while at home (both parents can attest to this). I played a lot of video games (nes, snes), and I even got a nintendo DS to comfort me while away from home (damn you nintendo!). Oh, and I only read about 50% of one (there are...10, as of today) of my school books (I normally manage to read all of my school books at home).

So yeah, things are looking to be quite busy for me this semester. And now that I'll no longer be able to bum a nice, quiet table off of Carrie (studying in Denmark this semester), I'll need to find an alternative place to study (please don't be library...::Rolls a 6-sided die::....5!...damn -_- ).

Ok though...enough chit-chat. I'm going to start this mountain of reading.

Hmm.... I'm considering applying for the Honors Thesis program. It's a year long (2 semester) program for seniors. It's basically just another class in one's schedule, except you meet with your faculty advisor (of whom you choose), read a lot, and write a lot. Requirements: 3.7 major gpa, 3.5 career gpa and all pre-requisites finished. Surprisingly, I'm elligible. (I just have to *stay* elligible at this point). However, this would mean foregoing Japan. I won't know about my Japan app for a while, but the more I bury myself in the work of two highly esteemed professors, the more I'd like to attempt an honors thesis with either of them. (And, i'd be done with my major, giving me the time to devote to such a feat). If I don't get into the Japanese Program (40-50% chance) I will definitely apply for the Honors. Other than that, I'm trying to adjust to 6 hour class days, and the 3 hours of reading that follows class. Thank god I have monday and...

And the start of many goals: #1: Hike all 150 miles of the Lassen National Park trails (and log all the geocaches!) #2: Finish CLU certification (even if it means bringing textbooks hiking) #3: Perfect baking skills #4: Be the board

Skipped a Few Seasons

::blows away the dust:: Well, somehow we're right back to Summer again.   The last nine months have been something special.  It's hard to believe that in that time I've been fortunate enough to snowshoe frozen lakes, dive the depths of Whiskey Town, scale the heights of Shasta, and otherwise hike much of the Northern hinterlands.   I'm in the middle of a dead zone as far as formal education goes.  I'm still another year out before I can start much of the course work I had planned (I realized much of it has ridiculous work experience requirements).  But, this has been a blessing.  I was able to take some time off in January and completed the Wilderness First Responder (WFR) course--a necessary certification brought on by a close call at Mt. Lassen with a flipped car and several injured people.   So Summer is starting again, and though I'm sure I'll find myself in some exciting positions, I really am looking forward to those relaxing days where the o...
