Procrastinating

So, I'm supposed to be writing a "paper" (one page commentary on an article-- art majors are kind of a joke), and usually I don't think to blog so you can see how badly I don't want to.  Any comments on using Indian symbolism for team mascots?  That's what my paper is on.  

Nate and I are frantically trying to get done with this year.  I hate to say it but we have both been a little "bah, humbug" this week.  Nate is, as he has been for years now, looking for a job.  That is not a knock on Nate, we just have had a lot of temporary jobs and are near the end of another.  If anyone needs a super smart and cute attorney let us know!

I recently, and after much deliberation, changed my major to English Lit.  I am really excited about the classes I get to take, but most of all that I can graduate in three semesters rather than six!  Also, I would much rather spend my money on books than art supplies.  I suppose I am a bit of a bourgeois sell-out for giving up on the art "dream", but I am much happier with the bourgeoisie.    

This Saturday my best buddy, Rachael, is tying the knot.  We scrimped and saved and charged and are going down to Phoenix for the wedding.  I am 90% excited to see Rachael, etc., and 10% excited for real Mexican food.  It has been too long.  South Bend and Boise are not exactly stellar places to find authentic Mexican food.  

When I stop to ponder, which is rare, I am truly grateful for this time of year and getting to see our families.  Maybe I just need some inspirational Christmas stories to perk me up!  Bring them on, meager few blog readers.
