I'm back at SMCM, starting my senior year! Yay! Right now I'm in my third week of school, and its going great! I'm taking a little more of a workload than usual, but I would like to gradutate in the spring, so thats just how its going to be. This summer was great, but I didn't do much. Waking up at 7am, working all day, and entertaining my highly energetic dogs took a lot out of me. I had some great times, like the O.A.R concert with Devi and my girls. I got to babysit my wonderful nephews and spend some time with them. Its insane how big they have gotten! After work got out, I spent a week in WA visiting my mom's side of the family for my grandparents 50th and Darkow family reunion. Most of these folks I haven't seen in 5+ years! It was great to reconnect with all of them and to be surrounded by family. Mom and I went vintage clothes shopping with my cousin Andrea, where I found this great antique dress! My sister and her boyfriend managed to get off work and come, which made things even better. Grandma Darkow taught me how to work in color with yarn, and I found some great yarn in my old home town. It was such a nice visit out there. Some days I really miss living out there, surrounded by family on both sides, but then I have to think about all the wonderful family and friends that I have, and that I would have never met if we hadn't moved to MD.
So right now this is the courses I'm taking:
- RELG 381: Religious Topics- Passage to India
- SOAN 490: Senior Seminar
- ANTH 281: Archeaology and Pre-History
- PHIL 304: Values Inquiry
- ANTH 243: Biological Anthropology
- POSC 1OO: Intro to Politics
I know that it seems like a lot to do, but I want everyone to keep in mind that my seminar class only meets 7 times, so that cuts down on a lot of what I have to do. As long as I graduate in May, its all worth it. Oh, and a little FYI- I'm starting a new blog just for my knitting stuff. So if you have any cool knitting/yarn related links or anything that feel would be appropriate, just pass it my way. I'll set up a link for it on this page as soon as I have it set up.
