So I got a scholarship for spring and summer. The requirements stipulate that I take at least 6 credits each semester to qualify for the scholarship. I only need to take one upper-level CS class and technical writing before I graduate in August, both of which are three credits.
So I decided to take Spanish. I've kindof always wanted to learn Spanish, and figured that this was a good time to take it. So I'm taking artificial intelligence and Spanish 101 this semester, and technical writing and Spanish 102 next semester.
Officially, I've been speaking Spanish for two weeks and a day. And I already know how to conjugate three verbs and introduce myself! Really, it's a lot of fun, although it does take up a lot of time. Oh. And it's at 8:00 in the morning. Bleh. Remember when I took that Bayesian Statistics class that was at 8:00 on Tuesdays and Thursdays and almost gouged my brain out with a spoon? Yeah, I seem to have forgotten that near-death experience. Now I remember it, except that class is every day. I've compacted my morning preparation routine, and now my alarm goes off at 7:20 in the morning. So I can get a decent amount of sleep if I come in around midnight.
Which reminds me of another problem.. I moved into a way cool house on University Ave, and my roommates love to party. And I love to party with them. However, I haven't found a way to both party all night and be alert for Spanish in the morning.
I secretly hope to be able to use my Spanish at the running of the bulls next summer.
Anyway, back to the title of this post: I decided that I really like Matt Nathanson. His writing style is interesting. Check it out at http://blog.mattnathanson.com/.
Me gusta Matt Nathanson.
