A Girl With a Sword

fire and powdered sugar don't mix

I think everyone should be given coffee money in life, because that's the only thing I really want when I have no money. I just want to be able to go out and get coffee and read. I bet if we were a socialist country we would get coffee money. I bet they have coffee money in Sweden. That's how they come up with such good ideas, like IKEA, and the name "Linnea."

I am finished with SIL. I'm sad it's over, but not as sad as I would be if I weren't starting more classes in about a week. I'm going to grad school at the University of South Carolina this fall, getting my M.A. in linguistics. I'm so happy to be getting back to a normal school life, this past year I've felt like I was wasting my time and not being productive and on top of things. I'm really excited to be going into linguistics, too. I feel like it's relatively undiscovered territory for me, but I do love what I've learned about it. And I decided that being confused about phonology definitely beats being confused about life. Let me just defer life as long as possible.

Again, I welcome all grad school advice that anyone cares to dish out. More specific questions will be coming soon.
