Yeah snow! All my classes today have been cancelled, leaving me with nothing to do but go back to sleep, since I stayed up till three writing a paper. Of course, maybe I should be revising the paper and making sure it isn’t complete and utter crap, which it might be, but I think at this point I’ll just be eating some brunch and then zonking for a bit.

As regards abroad plans, I’ve turned in the first set of papers… Because I’ve chosen SIT which Wesleyan hasn’t approved for programs to Russia, I had to turn in a petition, explaining why the approved programs aren’t good enough for me, and SIT is. The answer is that the approved programs involve going to university in Russia, and taking classes on things I have already studied here, while SIT centers around an Independent Study Project, which will be super cool. In a Superk?hl kind of way. I told them I wanted to do a project on the folklore and shamanistic traditions of the native people of the Lake Baikal region. That’s cause the program starts in St. Petersburg and then goes to Irkutsk, and then you can go to Tuva or Buryatia for the isp. And those are the places where little Mongolian guys ride little ponies and/or reindeer and do throat singing.

So the committee to approve or disapprove petitions meets on Wednesday, and they have to approve mine. Mainly because it would unreasonable of them not to, but also because my advisor is on the committee and she told me I’d convinced her and she would make a case for me.

Now I just have to get my summer plans set. And eat some brunch and take a freaking nap.

Sleep is so nice!
