So I had a panic moment today. They cancelled ALL the Latin and Greek classes at the Mediterranean Center for the Arts and Sciences, because there weren't at least 3 students in any of them. They also cancelled my Roman Archeology and Art class that I was so excited about. But they said that for the Latin and Greek classes, I could arrange for individual instruction from a Ph. D. professor for an extra $1200 for each class. Obviously, if I had $2400, I probably would have already spent it on shoes. So I didn't know what to do, but after a few calls and emails, I was told that I didn't have to pay the extra fee. Something about Baylor being an affiliate university, and scholarship waiver, or something. The point is that I get individual instruction. For free. Also, I replaced the Roman Archeology and Art class with History of Archeology and Art in Sicily, which oddly enough is going to count as a history credit. The other one was only going to be an elective, which I certainly didn't need - I have so many already. So now I think I will be able to get away with taking 16 and 18 hours my last two semesters, and stay in the Honor's program, and get the Philosophy minor.
What started out to be a nightmare ended up the solution to some of my problems.
Also, I downloaded songs from the movies made of Emma, Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Much Ado About Nothing, and I discovered Superpoke on Facebook, which is so addicting it's scary. It's been a good day.

Now if only someone would pay for you study abroad...
oooooooooo i am so happy for you, one on one is the best. its how the world is ment to go around. :D and proffesors shouldn't ever charge extra fees. they should shiver in their boots with excitement over the fact that there are people in the world who want to learn so badly they will go to and pay for class even when their isn't one. they are too full of themselves. when you become an elitest proffessor. promis me you will never pull tricks like that on the next generation of ashleys. though, i doubt that god can infact, reproduce or improve on a specimen such as yourself. i mean, two "ashley types" in one universe.....that could be potentaly hazzardus.
any way.
on a wholy different note.
singlness is something that i have to decide to be ok with every day i wake up. i have to say, this is obviously where god wants me. every day. so that i don't spend the day bursting wrandomly into tears.
that......wasn't a day where i woke up and said. i'm ok with this.
well. praise God for all that, then. :) you're gonna have fun in italy.
