Study abroad! But where!

So... I'm considering studying abroad. I just recently got accepted into the actual English major. I know it's nothing special, but as a senior in major-limbo, it's nice to finally have a place where I belong... as stupid as that sounds. I have declared it so. Anyways, I was thinking about either going to Rome or Amsterdam. Primarily Rome... I've kind of had a hankering to visit Europe... and the Mediterranean in specific. I mean, I was also thinking about Japan, but I've already been there. But, there's this really neat program where I only need 1st year, minimal Japanese, and even then it isn't a requirement, but this specific program takes you all over, studying the different temples. Something to think about, I suppose.

In other news, Samurai Noodle's been all right. It's service industry. The only thing I'm having trouble with is dealing with college/fresh-out-of-high-school co-workers and the massive amount of sexism and racism that comes with working there. I shouldn't have to defend black people and women every time I come in to work. One of my co-workers said I should flat out ignore it, but I think ignoring it is the reason why it's still rampant, whether blatant or subtle, today. Not to mention, the little pecker that does the majority of it without consequence is getting paid 15 dollars an hour and is the boss's little bitch rag. Whatever, the only thing that's keeping me from going insane is the thought of graduating and not having to work in food service anymore.

I want to learn the dance moves in Dirty Dancing.

Anything else important... oh, thinking about the whole moving out thing and hoping Alex's job fair goes fine. Maybe I can loosen up on working so much if he... I think my hedgehog is slowly growing disappointed about running in her wheel... she has probably figured out after using the thing for two years that she actually isn't going anywhere. OFF TOPIC! Anyways, I hope Alex gets a good job so he can help me. I never really ask for money because we're about the same when it comes to financial stuff. It would be like asking myself for money. But if he gets a good job, then I can focus on maybe a couple of utilities and my credit card and car loan bills. I would love it if I can get my cards paid off and use basically what I am spending on them towards my car payments... it would be paid off in no time >_<

I want a small dog.
