And that is all there is to this blog. I forgot to mention that over the past two months, I've been learning French. Finally.
The classes were offered at the college erratically and at weird times, and split up into weird sections. I went another route, through Rosetta Stone, and it's really cool. I am learning to read, write, and speak all at the same time. Love it. 
My goal? I want to read Baudelaire, Foucault, Verlaine, Derrida (the latter, a pipe dream, but hey, goals are not always obtained) in their original language. And I want to write poetry and lyrics in French.
My advisor says if I were going for a PhD I would have to know another language. I don't want a PhD (at least I don't think I do).  But wanting to learn French was why I started going back to college in the first place. So I figured I'd better make good on that.
Just a stupid FYI. Proof that sometimes, it's better not to blog.

Hey, great decision! I want to do the Rosetta Stone thing for French as well, but that requires time, money, and a reliable computer. My goal? To learn what I should have known since birth. :) *sigh* one day I will learn to speak.
