Lenguas y otras cosas

Languages.  They are seem one of the most definite things that separates people across the world.  But they bring people together as well.  I find different languages to be truly beautiful. They are more or less living things.  Languages are complex, ever growing and changing.  Some languages have died out, lost over time, while others flourish and fluctuate in usage.

For some unknown reason I have decided to take on the task of learning two languages at the same time.

SARAH, Y U NO MAKE SMARTER DECISIONS????

Well, there is no real logical answer as to why I decided to take two languages courses at the same time.  I'm just insane. That's really all it chalks up to, I'm crazy.

I reckon this probably seems silly to people living outside the U.S.  From what I've learned (over my many wasted hours on the interwebs) a good chunk of the world (excluding the U.S.) knows two languages fairly fluently, if not three.  So people not from the U.S. probably think that I am just being silly because being fluent in multiple languages is the norm.  Basically, I've concluded that America sucks in the polyglotism department and we need to get on top of our game and that everyone should try to learn at least one other language outside of English.

Anywhoo, back to my trip down insanity lane.  I decided to double major in Spanish and History. So because I am a Spanish major I am taking Intro German.  I've taken Spanish for the past 7 years or so since 6th grade. Yurp.  Logic at work right there. Well, actually for part of a language major at my college the requirements can include taking 12 hours of another language.  So I will probably end up minoring in German.  I just want to be able to communicate with as many different people as possible. I will probably try to take up a few other languages after I graduate, or at least the basics of some.

I doubt I'll be able to become fluent in all the languages I have listed in my head.  But I'd rather try than not try at all.

Update on life begins here.

So out of like 20 eggs that my family rescued from the unintentionally neglectful ducks that live in our backyard, 2 have hatched.  And let me tell you, CUTEST THINGS EVER.  They actually hatched while I was away at school (I'd left 2 weeks early for RA training).  So I decided to go home for about two days.

Yes, yes I did drive over 6 hours back home to see baby ducks.

Absolutely, perfectly logical decision.  Also, I didn't get to say bye to my cat when I left for school.  She was being a snob and ignored me when I left.  The furry bugger.

Ignore the time jump.

Becky, I really enjoyed the Hunger Games series.  I read all three books in two days this past summer.  The books were easy to read and pretty entertaining in my opinion.  They also addressed different things moral wise and such that I won't really get into because it's currently 3:30 in the morning and I don't have time nor the books to reference to. I will always be a die hard Harry Potter fan, but I am a Hunger Games fan too. (though I still have yet to see the Hunger Games movie....failure).

I am avoiding my homework and upcoming meeting at 7 a.m.
I am highly caffeinated with no plans to sleep because I napped earlier in the day and messed up my sleeping schedule.
I have Spanish and German to study...and Pre-Cal and American History... there are other classes too...

Oh my lanta so many things!

Sorry for my random ramblings, I had a lot to write about I suppose. I also read up on some older posts (haven't done that in awhile).  I noticed that I've done the classic "haven't been here in awhile and I miss posting...I'll post more" in multiple introductions in my posts.  Well enough of that nonsense.  I'll actually dedicate more time to this like Becky and come back to the world of Justified Confusion.

Welcome back Becky, I've missed seeing other posts around the blog (:

Until another time.

Hasta luego, Tschüss, and DFTBA,
