I see potential here.

I just encountered a bright light in the bog of my day so far. Now I just hope it doesn't turn out to be a hinkypunk.

Said light is my first class of the semester, an English senior seminar entitled "Manifestos and Book Binding'. And I'm pretty sure it's going to be just as awesome as it sounds. Our final project is to make four copies of our personal manifesto and hand-bind it; it's more of an art class than an English class, which is fine with me, since all of the actual art classes on this campus are majors-only. Plus, I can probably use the cool scrapbooking supplies I have lying around.

On another note entirely, today has been fucking crazy in my head. I'm attempting to get into one English class that sounds cool and fulfills a requirement, which, if I get into it, will require me to drop a different class that conflicts with the time, which means I will have to take that class in the spring. This doesn't really bother me requirement-wise, since a t least ten variations on this class are offered every semester, but the one I was going to take looked like it would really helpful to me; it's called "What Am I Going To Do With My Life?" Which, you know, is fucking PERFECT for me right now.

Complicating this situation is this honors thesis I have to complete sometime this year, which I didn't realize I actually had to register for and not just talk to the dean about it. (Which I did.) so now I have to try and register for this "class" which it turns out requires prior permission, so now I have to call the honors department and figure out how exactly I would go about obtaining permission so I can register.

At least I know what my thesis is going to be. I'm going to research what necessities (availability, preservation, etc.) led to the distinctive ingredients used in various world cuisines. Of course, I'll have to include some recipes and try them out as part of the project!
