Lots of Swahili

I decided that after Thursday's performance, I am going to quit Choral Society, even with the fun Swahili songs. It's for several reasons: I can't make the only other performance in April, which is all we're practicing for now; the rehearsals go slower than molasses in January, and of course are on Tuesdays, my longest days anyway; and Archaeology Society meets at the same time, and that's my major/bigger area of interest. I have enjoyed being in it so far, though. Mostly.

Classes today were pretty good. I had to give an informal presentation in Women's Studies about womensaid.org.uk (we did a unit on violence against women today), but that was no problem. I studied a bit for Irish class tomorrow, and I don't really have any homework left tonight...just waiting on my laundry. My roommate and I just checked each other's hair and found nothing, but I'm still washing everything daily just to be careful. There was a bit of a miscommunication today with my director and one of the suitemates about me going to the health center about lice, but that's straightened out now I think. I'd love to think that I can officially stop writing about that now!

On a more adventurous note, I really would like to go somehow this weekend, but I don't know if I will. Staying around here would be okay, since we never got to the aquarium this weekend, but I would love to see Cork or Limerick or someplace nearby. The API group flies to Paris for 3 days two weekends from now, so maybe I should just stay home and conserve my money for souvenirs! I think we find out what is on the itinerary for Paris tomorrow night at the program meeting.

I have a phone interview tomorrow with the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation about an internship. It's not one of my top choices, but since I haven't applied to/been accepted at other places on my list, it's worth a shot. At least he's the one paying for the international phone call!

I kind of love Tuesday nights. I dread Irish class on Wednesdays, but I know that after Tuesdays are over, the hardest part of my week is done. I really should do lots of homework this weekend, but for the next few nights I don't have any pressure. It's quite delicious.

I'm going to go check on my laundry, then read in bed for a while, so good night!
