I can honestly say... I LOVE SCHOOL!!! Going back to school was the exact thing I needed to help me have the energy to try and win over this nasty nasty horrible disgusting flu-like thing in me! I sound like such a NERD! But, truthfully, I enjoy my classes. Today being my "light" day, I only had 2 classes - "Music for Children" and "Chicano Literature". Needless to say both classes seem to be VERY interesting! Tomorrow I'll tackle "Earth Science" and on Thursday in addition to tuesday's schedule I'll have "The Changing Roles of Armenian Women" and "Dance for Children". Then on Saturday I will enjoy a morning of "PE for Children". They seem to have left the best for last! So how come we can't take these "fun" classes in the beginning so we'd actually be motivated to move on? Hmmmmm....

I survived today a bit better than I had expected, though I know I'm just fooling myself.... yes Ara, I'm seriously going to go to the doctor this time. He promised to try and fit me in tomorrow afternoon... keyword = TRY. I don't like the sound of that. Well, I did get further into "Zabelle" today, and Raffi, ya--I'm pretty sure I'll be done with it tomorrow or possibly even tonight. It's actually not a choice, cause I already have a book to read by Tuesday for the Chicano Lit. class.... let's see what it's all about! I thought it was interesting that Juan said in his log how you will find similarities between the Armenian and Incan cultures. Last semester I took a Chicano Arts and Humanities class, and having learned about the ancient or actually indeginous cultures, I saw A LOT of similarities and even wrote about them in my essay on the exam. One example.... is their "New Fire Ceremony" and our "Diyaruntarach". Although Diyaruntarach is left over to us from our pagan days, it is still practiced today. It turns out that the main idea of taking a part of that fire home which will bring a piece of the positive "light" to each home is the same in both these ceremonies. Two cultures existing so far from one another share something like this.... I found it VERY interesting!

Alright, enough with the babbling... I'm going to go read! :)
(After I blow my nose yet one MORE time...) hehehe
TSUH!
