Espadrilles

Espadrilles are Spanish, more Spanish than I am, and they are my favorite shoes. I own one pair and love them, almost as much as the one-fourth of my heritage that I actually care about.

I’m So Excited!

I’m back to repeating what I couldn’t stop repeating at my Barnard interview: “I’m so excited!”  At the interview I said it partly because I was but partly just because I was nervous, but this time, I am genuinely really really excited.  Oh my god, I am so excited, I am just so excited!  Because now I get to start thinking about all my classes (woo-hoo, Intermediate Spanish I!).  And when I start thinking about my classes I start thinking about the campus, and then I think about the Underground Tunnel, and then I start thinking about the included clinic services somewhere in the lower level of the building that are free because that’s what you’re paying for in your standard college fees, and I start thinking about how it’s a women’s school and how the girls in the course selection book thingie sound so positive and comunity-ish, and I realize I made a great choice to go to Barnard, and I’m going to have so much fun and I’M SO EXCITED!  It’s all so exciting!

And I get to read a book called Gilgamesh.
