It's amazing how even when I'm not a student at SCU, I'm still dealing with issues at SCU.
What's even more amazing is how whenever I have finals or something I really need to put my attention to, a hurdle comes up and I feel like the world is going to end.
With just a month before I'm back at Santa Clara for a quick visit, I have to find housemates for my senior year or I'll lose the lease on my house, plan classes for my next four quarters, decide if I want to pick up another major or minor, apply for a position on Associated Student Government.
Dealing with housing at SCU is always a pain. Last year I somehow made it work, landed a great house and fun roommates. Now apparently my landlord has the house released and I only get priority if I find three other housemates and apply for the house before Thanksgiving. Yikes. Not something I want to be dealing with from the other side of the world.
As for academics, I'd rather not think about how little time of college I have left.
Student government - whatever gets me best prepared to run for ASG President in the spring.
I turned in my research paper about the Izala movement in regards to Salafi/Wahhabism in northern Nigeria. Thank goodness. And now spending my time preparing the best I can for the three finals keeping me from freedom.
I really don't understand what some of my housemates are doing with their time during these weeks of preparation for finals. They all have tests next week, and are doing absolutely nothing but going to the beach. Foreign concept to me. Oh well. My beach time comes when I'm done with finals and traveling along the beautiful South African coast! Yay! 11 more days.
