I managed to pull out straight As for the fall term - yay me! It's kind of cool when your teenager gives you a hug and says, "That's really cool mom!" I hope that somewhere inside him I am sowing the seed for a good example.
While the rest of the academic world is resting on its laurels, I am fighting my way through my last foreign language credit of my undergraduate career. All of my work needs to be done by the end of January and my January will be swamped, so I am working on it now - ick. I love foreign language, really I do, but doing it because I want to learn it and be able to communicate with my friend from Panama is something entirely different from doing it for a grade.
I wish this were the last time I had to work on a foreign language for credit, alas, it's not. Typically there are foreign language requirements for graduate programs in history - Spanish, we shall meet again. At one point, I was considering graduate work in religion (religion is my minor) and the program I would have likely applied to required fluency in German as a graduation requirement. Sorry. It was enough to scare me out of going further with religious studies.
So, I guess I'll be working on Spanish over the summer as well and hopefully be able to knock out the foreign language requirement for grad school in the fall. Yeah, we'll see how *that* works out.
