Let it snow!
So I found this nifty WordPress plugin that makes snow fall on your page. I’m so fascinated by it, and with the fuzzy Chicago skyline in the background of my layout, it makes for a pretty rad, homesick kind of image! ‘Cause, yanno, it’s already December 13 and I have yet to see snow (or temperatures below 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit, for that matter).
Snow? What snow?
I’m currently trying to sort out my life for the next few months, which is primarily consisting of deciding whether or not to drop my Global Studies minor. I only have one English class and one Gen Ed left to take (neither of which I’m worried about), and three left for my GS minor. And, well, I only have one semester left. For my GS minor, I have a plan of study I’m supposed to follow. Now, the problem is that one of the classes in that plan is not being offered next spring. I tried going through the catalog to find a suitable substitute, and while I did find several, either they’re not interesting enough for me, or there are time conflicts. Another problem is that one of the other classes I need to take is currently full and closed for registration. I know that if I really really really tried, I could fix it all up and graduate with my GS minor with no problems. But…I’m all the way here in Costa Rica, I’m a senior and at this point I don’t feel like going through the hassle. Either I put some serious effort into securing my minor and return to a 16-hour grueling class schedule for next semester, or I drop the whole thing altogether (though I’m definitely still interested in taking one of the classes just for fun) and take it relatively easy for my last semester of undergrad (EEKS!!).
Decisions, decisions.
Speaking of which, I leave Costa Rica in 6 days. Holy freaking shit.

It looks like time has flown by fairly quickly! If I were you I’d just drop the minor. And so many people seem to have the snow plugin up for the holidays. Hope that there’s some nice snow back in Chicago.
Have a wonderful flight home!

Ahh, I love how the snow collects at the base of the page, and then after a while, it “melts” and disappears. So fascinating, I think I just spend 3 minutes staring at the screen!
I’ve never quite understood majors/minors, because I’ve never had the opportunity to choose either for my degrees. Having said that, I guess my train of thought would be along the lines of: if it adds to your credibility/employ-ability with reasonable effort of your part, I’d stick with it. But then such a hassle!
