Like it says in the title, I've decided to(finally) get serious about learning Spanish (aka; Catellano) over this semester. THere are a couple of reasons- VERY good ones, why I want to.
1. Suddenly conversations on my father's side of the family will make sense and not be as 'secret' as previously
2. It opens up a lot of options in terms of doing International Studies later and counts towards the Global Leadership thing amt Macquarie Uni.
3. It'll get me a free trip to Madrid, courtesy of my Abuelita as long as I pick up conversational Spanish by this time next year.
I'm also delving into Environmental Economics. Since economic factors and the Environment always seem to go in separate directions, being able to reconcile these two disciplines would probably look good on my list of qualifications.
University work is about to REALLY heat up. I guess the next two weeks are going to be the most important and from there on, we'll see.
And on another note; I'm going to think about finally establishing a social life between now and July. With AMUNC coming up again (in Sydney this time too!) it might just help keep me at least half-sane for the rest of the year.
