| Current Events in Marie's Wacky World! |
| Sunday, May 2nd, 2004 Man, it's been a long time since I updated! And there was that whole stint in February and March where I was in the computer lab 99% of the time! I just don't understand. Ok... onto the real news... School is stil going. Providing that I put in a whole bunch of "que"s into my final French paper (I think I might add a few extra for good measure), I very well could end up with a 4.0 semester again! That'd be schweet! On March 4th, I was officially inducted to Phi Alpha Theta (see below if you are confused). Unfortunately, I'm not taking summer classes but I am staying in Moscow to work (probably 2 jobs) because I am officially accepted to study abroad in Japan! Yes, I will be going to the KCP International Language Institute in Tokyo, Japan for a whole 80 days! Well, I just need to buy the plane ticket and get some other money, then I can go... but I'm accepted! And very excited! There's another thing I am excited about as well. On March 28th, I received an e-mail from some random guy... who then started to talk to me via e-mail and MSN... who asked me out on a date... who is now my boyfriend!!!! :D Yes, yours truly, the perpetually single is... no longer single! The guy's name is Ray and he's a grad student at WSU. He's 27 and the sweetest, most intelligent, funniest guy I've ever met... Well, who at least has all those qualities in one guy. ;-) No! He's just great! I love him to tears! We've been going out for a whoel month now, and I'm the happiest I've been in a long time! I mean... LONG time. I finally got pictures of him which you will be able to see on my pictures page. Yay! That's really all the new news. Old news includes still going to apply to grad school, however my target school has changed. I would like to end up at WSU for my Master's and then go east for my Doctorate... funny how guys change all of that for you. ;-) But, yeah... I've finally decided on Asian political system history. It'll leave me with the most opportunities. I think that's all there really is to say for right now. I'm taking off my "Personal Ad" since I don't need it anymore. I'll keep the page... but de-link it. Yeah... something like that. Anyway, until next time... Peace in! Saturday, February 14th, 2004 Happy Valentine's Day! No, I don't have a Valentine's but a couple of my guy friends wished me a Happy V-Day. So, what's going on in my life? Not much, really. Been making and losing friends like usual. Oh well. It's life. Some people I've been talking to more, others less. It's life. School's going well. I got invited to join Phi Alpha Theta, the International Honors Society in History. I also made Dean's List for the second straight semester. However, I looked at my transcript and this should be my 3rd semester on Dean's List, since I got a 3.62 Fall 2002. I don't know... Oh well.. maybe I did make it and just wasn't informed. I'm hoping to do a Study Abroad to Japan in Fall 2004. I gotta get rolling on that, but it'll be totally cool! I just need money. So, you should give me money for the Send Marie To Japan Trust Fund! Really, you should. Just e-mail me to find out how to send me the money. I'm looking into graduate schools now. I'm going to be studying Asian History, but I'm still deciding on my specific focus. I'm thinking politics, but I also like culture, too. So, I'm not sure. I think politics would benefit me more. Hell, I don't know!!!! Yeah, my life revolves around school... so sue me. On a final note, I've added links to websites of mine and my friends. So, please visit them! Thank you! And see you on the dark side! Also, now that you know what's new with me, find out more about me. ONTO THE FACTS PAGE! |
