There are FOUR other girls at my work with pink hair now! It is completely ridiculous! When it was just me and the CNS girl, it was funny and exciting. But then the reserve girl did it, and then some ILL girl did it, and now even Vicki, one of the bosses, has done it! I'm all for sharing the pink love but...I liked being the pink haired girl from the library. Now I'm just one of the pink haired girls at the library. :(

So, I'm thinking about this summer because I am very bored at work. I wanted to do an internship, but that was going to be hard because neither of the ones I want to do are paid and they are in SF and LA. But! I just realized that I'm going to be an undergraduate for a whole extra year. I can do my internship next summer, just as easily as I could this year. So, now I'm thinking about what I want to do. UCLA offers an intensive intermediate Japanese course that I could take. What is "intensive" you ask? Oh, just being in Japanese class/discussion from 9:00 AM until 1:50 PM with two ten minute breaks and one forty minute break in between, five days a week. I was thinking about doing an internship in addition to this, until I actually looked at the schedule which is omfg intensive. However, getting a whole extra year of Japanese out of the way? A very good idea. I might even be able to take some Chinese my last year, which would look good to the Asian Studies master's programs I will be applying into. I wish I could take a fourth year of Japanese, but we don't even offer it here at Santa Cruz because I wasn't thinking Asian History when I applied. Also! If I go to UCLA for summer school, I can go to Anime Expo, lol, which would be exciting. They have Lolita panels and meet-ups. :)
