Latrinalia- my new favorite term

So I've just had 1 class so far, but I need a reading and job hunting break so blog time!

Latrinalia is an academic term for the writing on bathroom walls. I love folklore!

After my first class I'm feeling excited again about school, I was getting a bit panicky and second guessing my decision over the weekend, but now I'm back to remembering that I do like this program and I am interested in doing my research, so good times! Tomorrow I have an arts and administration class, and I already know 2 people who will be in the class with me which is exciting. And I'm going to add another class as I realized I'm not taking a full load this term, and I'm not on the long-term track, I want to be done in 2 years. So I'm either going to add a folklore and sexuality class or try to see if I can do an independent study Indonesian language thing, either way I've got to figure it out tomorrow morning so I can get going.

I'd kind of forgotten how much work school is. Grad school is way more with the insane amount of reading you have to do. And I forgot how school makes you have this weird schedule and you can't work a normal job with it, so today I went to the strip mall down the street and filled out applications at some retail places, woohoo! We'll see how that goes, man I hate retail but I gotta pay the rent.

p.s.- The picture is of the back deck of the house I'm living in, I love it!
