Skyping Machine

Skype calls all day long, that was the theme for today. I went to my one and only class on Thursdays and returned home to attempt to sleep. It didn't work. So instead I watched Survivor from the night before because I knew that I was going to be Skyping Haley and my mom today and that they would like to talk about it. The Skype date with my mom during the week is because her birthday is on Friday, tomorrow, and I wanted to be able to talk to her relatively close to that. Plus I was unable to Skype my family this past weekend because I was in Morocco.

When I got my Skype call to talk with my mom, my dad was on the screen! I was shocked because I thought that he would have already been at work, or leaving for work, but I guess I did my math wrong for the time change. It was nice to Skype him for a little bit and tell them all about my trip to Morocco. That was the main point of the discussion. When my dad left for work, me and my mom talked about the new job that she had just recently got, CONGRATULATIONS! She seems very excited for it and I am excited for her too and hopefully it will be a smooth and easy transition. 

After Skyping, it was lunch time, and then I went to try to relax some more, but once again it was impossible. Instead I stayed awake and decided to try to plan out my fall semester at Winona. Lucky for me, the classes were listed online and I was able to plan things how I wanted them to be. I am currently a declared double major in Spanish and computer science, but I have been thinking about changing to finance or accounting since about December of this past year. The reason being because I struggled in my programming class this past fall and because I don't have as much of a passion as everyone else in my classes. I feel like I would be going to work just to do my job, rather than to enjoy something that I do. It is a hard choice to make to switch majors so late in the game because I am already behind because of studying abroad. It is also hard to say because I have never taken any accounting or finance courses. In the fall I would be taking my first introductory course, so I guess I will have to wait and see what comes of it. 

I am being very proactive and organized because scheduling isn't until April, but I want to have it accomplished for the most part so I can talk about things with my parents in person when they come to visit.. in less than 2 weeks!

Later in the day I got to Skype Karyn! She didn't have school today or tomorrow so she was home the majority of the day. It was nice to catch up with her and she even got to show me what we were going to be giving mom for her birthday. Nothing was really new with her so we just talked and "hung out" through Skype.

After dinner I got to Skype Haley! We talked about Survivor and it was nice to just catch up :) I hadn't talked to her for about a month so we had a lot to talk about.

When I finished up Skyping Haley it was time for bed. What a day of talking to a lot of people from America!
