Wow, I could never imagine getting that many language classes, although I
wish I could have picked up German, since half of my mom's relatives, my
mom, my sister, etc, all speak it. I know I have enough to get a Bachelors,
with some classes, I have two Associates right now.

In another totally unrelated matter, I am going to talk to the Systems
Department at Meijer tonight. They have a few positions there open, and I am
considering going to that department instead of pushing carts. It might be
more interesting at least. I am looking forward to working one job one day,
but this might be a good thing to stick on a resume.
