Things are looking up, I must say.
For one, it's much warmer outside and the lovely sun smiled down on us as well.
Two, I've been applying for a bunch of internships that sound really really exciting... and I want to apply for a Buena Vista internship which has nothing to do with my future career just so I can assist with film premieres and all. Should I?
Three, two someones I'd thought were long gone are back!
Four, I'm really enjoying my classes, especially my English course, British Literature I, where we're reading Arthurian myths right now. I have such a thing for myths, be they Greek or Arthurian. Read Beowulf as well, which was much easier to read than I'd thought it would be. It was also rather a disappointment. Throughout my life, I'd heard Beowulf referred to so many times--I mean, Beowulf's such a big part of our cultural canon that I'd thought his fight with Grendel would be this amazing, epic battle. Instead, all he does is rip Grendel's arm off and Grendel slinks off to die in his swamp.. honestly. Maybe if I'd read it when I was younger..
Five, I've been seeing more people that I know around, and it really helps me feel a little more connected to NYU. Had lunch with Elizabeth, who was in my French class last year. French rules, man, for getting to know people.
I don't even know how to explain it, but suddenly life just seems so good.
