College is clearly not good for my LJ-posting habits. To be honest, last week was not great...illness plus a paper due plus general stress about different things *sigh*. Anyway, I'm feeling a little more caught up now, which is good. Had to come up with a prospective budget for the musical theater show I'm proposing, because the last Budget Allocation Committee meeting is this weekend so they needed to turn in their funding request today (before they even choose the shows we're actually doing next semester, but whatever).
I had to turn in a BAC proposal of my own (my very first! I feel so grown-up now...) to buy anime for Anime Society next semester. Legal anime! That's not necessarily what our members own! Very exciting. I am cleverly circumventing their previous argument of 'but you don't have anywhere to store it' by declaring we will donate it all to the library once we're done watching it. That wasn't my idea originally, but it's a good one, so it shall be done. Anyway, I asked for suggestions from club members three or four times, but no one but Rachel actually suggested anything so I just chose some series that I thought sounded good (or that I've seen outside of club). Very sci-fi and fantasy heavy, but I feel like that's a trend in anime in general...or maybe just in what I watch. Oh well....
By the way, seriously, this semester has gone so quickly. We were talking in Chinese today about how we only have 12 (now 11) classes left. Gah, so much to do...
That reminds me, I'm happy because class registration for next semester went very well. I'm taking Reading Chinese Newspapers (language class) and China through Literature and Film (not a language class), both with Crespi of course....Chinese Economy (they FINALLY are offering it, I've been waiting forever) and History of U.S. Foreign Policy since 1917 (I feel that this may be slightly boring as it will be somewhat of a rehash of the whole WWI/isolation/WWII/Cold War Containment/post-Cold War confusion narrative, but I need it for my IR major so whatever).
Meh, I'm sleepy...just one more class, then a pointed discussion with Res Life which will hopefully lead to a solution of various housing difficulties, then I can go down the hill and relax a bit. Ah, Mondays...well, later, all!
P.S. Now that I am not forced to hear it five times a day, I rather like Panic! At The Disco's album. Yay for catchy pop-punk!
