if i drop german to a minor i graduate in december. if i don't, who knows.
if i get the german department head to sign off on goethe institute classes in the spring as a study abroad for credit it could be a may graduation. but i pissed her off when i complained about the quality of the last class i took with her. so it's unlikely. i wanted to get my master's degree in koln, but my dismal showing this summer has dashed all those hopes.

i was supposed to go to russia this summer but the visa processing company had their heads up their asses, and stating plainly to my face that they forge shit all the time didn't exactly inspire confidence. were they joking? i have no idea. the lack of communication from the teacher in charge, well other than her promise of prayers for me and encouraging me to have faith... i dropped out of the study abroad.

i'll go ahead and apply for grad school at ut austin though i know i won't be able to actually live there.
and i will go ahead and get a certificate for teaching english as a foreign language. and i might go study at the goethe institute again in the spring anyways. but in freiburg this time.

so basically i am in limbo. wtf am i doing? i have no fucking clue. where the fuck am i going? again, no fucking clue. all i know for certain is that right now juggling two summer classes and martial arts is kicking my ass.


oh yeah, and this fall i will have either 6 or 7 kids in college. one of my formerly most problematic kids will have her BA in anthropology in may after a uni career of almost constantly being on the dean's list. so at least i know the kids will all be varying shades of "ok" no matter what happens to me.
