Let's try this again...

Alright. So I'm going to actually try this blog thing again - I lost my log-in information to my other blog so I'm starting up a new one. Who knew that the ajreed username was available for once and I didn't have to come up with some weird nickname to use.

I'm having a great year at Bama so far - it is so much better than last year was, it's crazy. I've declared my major and minor: History with a minor in Photography. Pretty awesome major/minor and they're both two things that I love!! Judging by all of my calculations of hours and semesters and all that jazz I will be graduating in December 2009. Only a semester later than I thought I would freshman year. For having a different major freshman year and being Undeclared last year I'm not really all that far behind it seems like. I'm still in the same apartment that I was in last year just with different roommates. I love my roommates this year - they are AMAZING. We have some good times with lots of laughter. I'm not sure if I want to stay in this apartment complex next year - if our new management can't get their act together then I may start looking for a new apartment. There's just some little things adding up right now and then I had a major problem with them at the beginning of the school year.

So my big news school wise: there is a possibility that I'll be able to study abroad in Summer 2008 in ITALY!! If it all works out (I've still got to talk to my advisors and college about this) then I will be in Italy (mostly Florence, but also Venice and Rome) for a month and taking two Art History classes. It turns out, while using last years information, that it would only cost $1,000 (roughly) more to take six hours in Florence than to take six hours on the Tuscaloosa campus. Given those numbers...I'll take Florence anyday!

And now, school calls.
