Today after classes, I met with my advisor. She always says it won't take very long, but then we always end up, like today, chatting in her office for an hour and a half ^^;.
The first half hour was devoted to figuring out how much longer it should be until I graduate... approximately 2 years if I take about 12 hours a semester, but hah, there's no way I'd do that XD;. So hopefully it'll only be a year and a half maybe, if I keep on tackling 16 or more hours a semester? It's comforting to have a goal in sight, though ^_^. I do enjoy learning and such, but I don't want it to go on forever and ever either. *marches on toward the future*
After that was figured out, my advisor interviewed me for a paper she's writing for a conference in New York. It's about conservative/religious students in college, and she interviewed me as a used-to-be religious conservative turned agnostic not-really religious type person. I just basically talked about my childhood being raised in a Southern Baptist church, and how I lost sleep for many years over the idea of rapture ^^;. Talking about that was a bit mortifying, but I was glad that someone I looked up to listened, and didn't accuse me of being a hellion for my current stance on things XD;. I don't think I could get that at home. After we talked about that, she told me my paper on the rapture, and my obvious anger/uncomfort toward the subject, that I wrote during my second semester of college is what vaguely inspired her to write this paper XD;. I need to read that again paper again-- I remember it was pretty awful ^^;. That was an interesting experience today, though... Someone actually wanted to hear my opinion for something semi-important, which was nice ^^. My coherence isn't always there, but I managed to not make a total jackass of myself ^^;.
CSI is on, so I'll go be shocked whilst watching it. That show's so scary and gross sometimes, but I'm pretty awesome at closing my eyes really quick when I hear squishy noises XD;. I DON'T WANT TO SEE A BULLET TRAVEL THROUGH SOMEONE'S BRAIN! or whatever. But it's still interesting to watch ^^.

And M-sama you know you pwn. Hurray for randomly inspiring people. Because M-sama is an inspiring person. *clings* You know it. X3 And I wanna watch CSI... Hm.
Universities are fun-- I think you'll like it ^_^. It is weird living on campus with a bunch of people, but it's a pretty amiable life ^^.
Some people are professional students XD. You could always be one of those-- never stopping your education. I think I'll miss college once I'm out, but I'm also trying to psych myself up to... umm... SUCCEED! I want to do fun things in the future, so hopefully life will look a little less foreboding once I'm actually out apart of my future, instead of looking at it terrified from this side of things ^^;. It's only scary because you don't know what you'll do exactly yet-- but you'll figure it out eventually. I hope I will too ^^;;;. Or maybe I'll just be a vagabond, but hey, that sounds fun too ^.^V.

I'm not inspiring! I thought it was funny that she was inspired by my ill'ness toward the subject, though XDD. You want to watch CSI O.O? Such a scary show. I don't know why I watch it so much ^^;.
You are too inspiring! Your words are golden I say! I decree it! >.> [/abuse of decreeing power]
And I do! Crime scene stuffs always interested me. *loved watching forensics on TV* Even though it's pretty gruesome.
Well, I'll hope my words are golden, if I'm going to try and survive as an English major XD;. Or at least I'll hope my words don't turn to crap or anything, or else I'll be in trouble ^^;.
M-sama can dooooooo it! Helen knows! ^o^
The most famous college I'm nearest to is... I'm not near any famous colleges ^^;. Maybe Washu is St. Louis, that one's pretty highly revered, but that's 5 hours away ^^;. And yeah, don't forget the $50,000 per semester cost. Omg, that's like... the cost of 6 of my semesters XD;. HELEN! UNIVERSITY PRICES ARE SCARY!
