Sententia

I'm in the library taking a break from writing an 8 page research paper on vocation. I've interviewed a Professor from Valpo that's done some interpreting and translating work. I've learned a lot! I've also been pouring over reference encyclopedias and governments books on jobs, they actually have a lot on interpreting. Initially, my research has actually made me a little bit skiddish of the interpreting world, but I think going to Chile this summer will help my career choice a lot. I'll have time to teach some english, probably do some translating, and of course be immersed in the language. The real test is not just fluency, but speed and accuracy when interpreting. By the end of the summer I hope to know if I should keep my international economics and cultural affairs major, or maybe switch it to social work, I will definitely keep Spanish though.

This weekend there's a retreat hosted by the Chapel, that I'm really looking forward to. It's supposed to be on discernment, but regardless of that I just look forward to taking a break from school lifestyle (even though I just got back), time to be quiet, time for god conversation, and some time to play sports (they have a lake).

Listening to Imperials, by Ratatat, on the album LP3, very good studying music, no lyrics.
