i've picked four courses: second-year japanese, introduction to spanish-american literature (not in translation, thank you), social class, and philosophy of language. it took me forever: all the literatures, in translation and not (japanese, french, spanish), are offered at the same time, it seems. also, i want another linguistics course, but they don't offer one, and the introduction to logic i wanted would've booked me solid on monday and wednesday from 11 am to 3:30 pm.

have been talking to my dad. he was interested in my mom on first sight, took three weeks to ask her out, and was "hooked" at the end of their first date. he said he wanted to be around her all the time. (all together now: AW!) this scares me, because i'm aware of being almost just like him to a terrifying degree. am i going to fall in love at first sight? and become blindingly devoted? and what if this happens with someone less charming and delightful than my adorable mommy?

don't tell me i'm irrational, please. i'm well aware of it.
