I have a happy realization :

I have a few quirks, you see:

• I love people
• I've taken mostly humanities classes, both on and not on purpose
• I took Honors and AP English in high school, not for college purposes, but because I wanted to; I loved the material, the challenge, the writing
• I have a soft spot for semi-colons
• I often ask for furniture for Christmas, mostly bookshelves or things that have shelves that could be used as bookshelves
• My bookshelves are full to the brim of books, both fiction and nonfiction
• I am addicted to buying, or in other words, collecting books
• I often like to read books
• Coffee shops are pleasant places for reading books
• I like spending my time in coffee shops
• I am familiar with coffee shops, seeing as I've worked at two, and currently work at one
• I spend most of my time in coffee shops
• I receive employee discounts when purchasing coffee 
• Ergo, my coffee habit is affordable and my reading nooks are abundant
• I spell 'theatre' the British way (it's also aesthetically pleasing)
• I am saving all my earnings (with the exception of the dollars I spend on books, coffee, and gas) to study abroad in Oxford, England next Spring
• The courses offered for the study abroad program are humanities courses, mostly English
• I aspire to go to UCLA
• UCLA HAS GORGEOUS LIBRARIES
• I write a lot, including blog entries, papers, letters, notes, emails, more notes, more papers, etc.
• I often use my Dictionary.com application that is readily available at my fingertips, thanks to my Android phone
• I preferred to use the Oxford comma before I knew that it had a name
• I refuse to buy or support Nooks, Kindles, or Ereaders
• I notice the overwhelming changes to Barnes & Noble to eradicate books
• I have kept all of my college textbooks
• I will keep all of my college textbooks (with the exception of statistics)
• I have continued to list excessively because I just realized:

The quirks of my past and present will be quite useful in my future.

I have officially declared myself as an English major.

I have no idea why I didn't choose it in the first place. I do know, however, that I needed to endure my past to arrive to this logic today.

I'm off to enjoy my rainy afternoon with a book and a few cups of chai now.

Good day to you!
