Freedom!

As soon as I wrote that title, I couldn't help but think of Braveheart. But I pretty much want to shout it out and do a little dance. Why? I withdrew from a class yesterday (an Italian one)! It's such a relief! I'm an English major, so why was I taking so many Italian classes? Well, I was planning on getting the Italian certificate, but I found that I was spending more time doing my Italian homework than doing my English homework, and I'm in my senior English class for heaven's sake! And on top of that, it's one of the coolest English classes I have ever taken, so it made me sad that I couldn't devote as much time to it as I needed to. But now I can!

And tonight, I'm actually going to watch a movie! My social life, though not too grand before, has pretty much gone to nothing. This is what I did on the weekend: Go shopping for my groceries (leaving at 6:30am!), then go to campus and study, eat lunch, study some more, go home. And even then, I was never able to catch up enough in this class that I just dropped. Now, I actually do something fun and even *gasp* go out with friends or *bigger gasp* go on a date. Of course, it's still going to be busy, but I think I'll be able to write more too! I wasn't getting any writing done except the academic sort.

This definitely isn't as epic as Braveheart, but I just feel so great! I had to tell the world that I'm free! So take some time to celebrate today--do something fun.
