almost done!

Well the school year is officially over class-wise. Just one final and two papers due before the end of next week. Wee!

If I can get ahold of the Spain edition of the Disney movie Cars, I legit hope to write my Spanish linguistics paper on that, seeing how different dialects are represented by the different car characters. In the American/English version it is legit sociolinguistically fascinating to see the dialects employed by the various characters in just one simple scene, so I'm hoping always-politically-incorrect Spain does the same! The exam for Language & Ethnicity shouldn't be too bad, just wicked long. Then the last paper is on Medumba; I elicited a traditional recipe so I just need to finish writing about that.

Speaking of Medumba, yesterday in class we were luckily enough to have Ariane cook a number of traditional foods for us, including fried plantains and this amazing bean dish. Can't say I was feeling too wonderfully afterwards (rozwol), but everything was delicious! I will definitely be continuing to work on documenting this language throughout the summer, especially since I am at this point unemployed. Hurray!

This weekend Chris has some NYC visitors, Derek and Nico, so we'll be occupied finding fun things to all day/evening. So far all I can think of is eating and drinking, lol. Fine with me! I'd like to go see 'Wolverine' if the weather is legit shitty, but so will everyone else in Boston.

Today after work I'm off to Haymarket for produce for the week, then hopefully heading to the gym. I also need new headphones like woah so I may have to stop at the Apple store to blow some bday money.

I got some more paperwork in the mail from the Fulbright committee asking me to get my health evaluated and to send in the results within 3 weeks. fun! I also need to get a criminal background check, but the fucktards at the BC Police Department can't seem to tell me when the detectives are in the office, since apparently only detectives can do fingerprinting. brilliant.

I guess I should start studying for one of my finals now...later!
