You're not going to believe this, but...
So I changed my major. Again. I know, I know.... Changing your major a semester and a half away from graduation is educational suicide. Right? Well apparently not. I spent over an hour in my advisor's office on Tuesday and what I discovered shocked me.
What I found was this: while FGCU does offer more Spanish classes than the HC, their department is actually smaller, with the necessary classes for graduation offered less frequently. Turns out that if I stayed the course with a Spanish major it would take me until Spring of '09 to graduate.
This is, of course, unacceptable. So I changed my major. To Liberal Arts Studies. Ironic isn't it? It's down-right hysterical from my point of view. I mean... really!
For this major I have to write a proposal (because it's a self-directed major combining the studies of two separate minors) explaining how I'll use my minors studies after I graduate.
It shouldn't be too hard to BS my way through that. I mean, with Spanish and Anthropology it's pretty self-explanatory, at least to my way of thinking. Plus there's the added bonus of graduating at the end of the summer, right on schedule.
Go me.

Registries.
Austin says I need to post links to my online registries. So here I go.
I'm registered at Bed Bath & Beyond, Target and Crate&Barrel. All you have to do is go the the site, and search for either my name or James' name. I believe it's a search by last name.
Crate&Barrel and Target have items added to the list, but Bed Bath & Beyond doesn't yet. In case you didn't know, James' last name is Freeland.

This weekend,
Friday night James and I went up to Orlando. Kristen and Ray met us there. We stayed at the Shades of Green Disney Resort in the Magic Kingdom. It was a pretty nice hotel. After dinner, during which the boys ran off to play in the arcade, we went to Halloween Horror Nights. That was pretty awesome. Plus we got lost both on the way there and on the way back, due to a very shoddily drawn map the guy at the front desk gave us. The next day we got up early and had breakfast at the hotel restaurant. It was a buffet and I think James and Ray each went back for more food at least 8 times. Then we went and walked around Downtown Disney until Kristen and Ray to leave at 1pm. After they left James and I ate lunch at Wolfgang Puck's. All in all it was a pretty awesome weekend.

Feeding Frenzy
Saturday we went to the Club to set down the reception menu. Micheal, the Catering Manager / Wedding Coordinator at the club, seemed astounded at the amount of food we have decided to serve. And seemed horrified that apparently such a gross amount wasn't enough, as we wanted to add more cookies and pastries and other such delights. I guess he just wasn't ready to run with the big boys.
So here's a warning: all those who are picky eaters or watching their weight, Italian weddings are not for the faint of heart or small stomachs.
Man up and chow down!

Also
This weekend I registered, at my mother's urging, at Target and Bed Bath & Beyond. Saturday I booked an invitation maker and the florist. Today I call photographers and follow up with the notary. I also have a butt-load of Spanish homework to do and a presentation for Composición Oral. Sometimes I wonder how I'll ever get it all done. I think I'll give up sleeping.

What's Your Political Philosophy? created with QuizFarm.com |
Apparently several of the classes I've been taking lately have changed my political perspectives and ideals. A few years ago I would have classified myself as a moderate with a few liberal views. Strange the changes life can make and the huge impact education can have on a person.
