Emergency!

This post is brought to you with an important message worth of posting a post today. UF committee will decide the applications in exactly 2 weeks from today! That means that I'll know if I got accepted to UF two weeks from now! I am excited, scared and nervous at the same time... This is dreadful! But I believe in a God of miracles that can totally bust and change people's emotions and reasoning to accept me as a graduate student. I mean, they accepted me as a transfer two years ago, why shouldn't they do something like that again? But at the same time, I will admit that I am scared because my GRE scores are not added up to their standards and my GPA is below 3.5... but I have progressed as a linguist and individual! I took a grad school class, I'm in my second class in what I want to study and I'm working for a professor doing things that I will most likely do in the future. Yes, I don't have another specification besides Language Documentation yet, because I love words and want to specialize in Morphology as well as Language Documentation and I didn't want to do that if I never took a morphology class before until now. I tried to go into syntax and phonetics, but I cannot cheat on Morphology, it's too dear to me lol I used to dream that I would travel around the world looking for the significance and history of one words, or in other words, be a historical linguist. But I just wanted the words part. and when I saw language documentation I saw that they needed ppl to actually go out there and research. Not only that, but Central American Languages are right there and I didn't want to go anywhere else, I wanted Indians that were already fighting for what they believed and needed help. I know that God's plan for me is to spread the need to go out there and document languages so we can analyze them and come up with a good resource that other can use to translate bibles and reach new people for Christ. I know this whole plan sound nuts, but is what I got in my heart and what I want to do... I hope the people in the Linguistics committee can see that and add me to the 15 to 20 people they'll accept into their program. No, I KNOW the people in the Linguistics committee will see that and add me to the 15 to 20 people they'll accept into their program. That;s the Spirit!!

Work and Homework

Hey,

Well, studying is not going according to plan right now in the sense that I'm not studying almost AT ALL!!!!!!!!!! I have a test in exactly 2 weeks, a homework due this week, another one due Monday and another one for practically the next fridays for A WHILE... At least I'm learning in the class that I actually wanted to take, even though it got super complicated in about half an hour XD of course.. Welcome to Linguistics lol

This is what I'm learning in the class that I love: morphology= study of words :)

Of course, this is syntax (the study of sentences) and this way it's easy to analyze them.. but we do the same thing with words! It's super cool! XD

Work in the Life

Hello, I have been thinking about what's like to balance God, school, family, a boyfriend and myself efficiently. As school gets harder, family get a bit more demanding and a relationship worth praying and fasting for, it is difficult to find time for God and think about his mercy. Not only that, but life gives you so much stress that sometimes you forget about yourself! So today, take some time for yourself and more importantly, God.

First Week of School!

First Week of School and I am not very motivated.. but we'll see.. Dragging myself up to classes will be the norm until further notice lol I must feel pumped!! ... Nop, I'm not lol

My GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hello 2012! Awesome year of great promises, growth and good things to come. Guess what? God gave me a boyfriend for Christmas! I'm incredibly happy for that and grateful beyond degree... But 2012 will bring that Master's acceptance to UF once and for all!! Happy New Year!
