I've been so stressed out this week. Monday I had a Math Exam and next week I have two tests. One in Psychology and the other in MIS 111. I really have to do good on these test to get a good grade in the class. So there is alot of pressure there. Plus I'm going to start working as a Desk Assistant in the dorms this semester. I feel that this is a good idea because I need to get some
idea of what it is like to be a Desk Assistant in the dorm.
So tonight my friend got me hooked on this television show, called Kimi Wa Petto. It soo cool. You should check it out. You can only see it online though. I'm sure if you do a google search you can find it. So right now I feel relaxed.
Which is good because I need to study! So till next time!
I have some exciting news! I just found out today that I've been given a job as a Desk Manager in the Dorms here on campus. I am so excited. I can just imagine all the opportunities I will have to use the leadership skills I've been developing being in the Blue Chip Program
All this week I've been sick with this stomach flu thing. I'm glad I spend my weekends preparing for the week. Otherwise I would be behind in all my classes.
Monday I went to the Death Cab For Cutie and Franz Ferdinand concert. It was awesome. I got to meet the guitar guy from Death Cab for Cutie. Today is "Relay for Life" I'm excited. I'm participating with several Blue Chip groups. I'll let you know how it goes in my next journal. Till then!
At last Spring Break is here. I've been waiting for this day...forever! Well, at least it feels like this. I haven't been able to spend much time with my family since Winter Break. I also really need to just have a couple of days with no stress. :) Yesterday was pretty stressful. I had two tests, one in Psychology 101 and then MIS 111. Both of which last time I had test in those classes I had it on the same day. But I felt better about these test then last time! Hope everyone has a great Spring Break!
This has been a very stressful week for me. I had two tests this week. One right after another, a Mid-term for my Western Civilization test and a test in College Algebra. Next week will be even more stressful with work and the Housing Fair happening. Plus I have two test, one in MIS 111 and one in Psychology 101. Both on the same day, just like last time and both of which I didn't do so hot last time. So I'm very worried about those tests. I don't have many plans this weekend. Going to the movies tonight with friends. Then Saturday I'm facilitating with the YWCA and the Racial Justice Program.
I realize its been about two months since the last time I posted something. I've been so busy trying to juggle school and work that I have been feeling like I have no time for myself. I really thought this semester was going to be easier than last. How wrong I have been. I still can't understand it all. I work less hours and I'm taking the same amount of classes as last semester. In fact I put more hours into studying for my classes then I did last, yet my grades are not reflecting this effort. It has been quiet frustrating. Plus right now with midterm and so many events going on with work as well I'm feeling even more overwhelmed then I have been. I look forward to Spring Break, which is two weeks away. Already I'm in need of such a break. It sadness that we only get one break besides MLK day. Everyone keeps telling me that I'm trying and that is what counts. I know this as well but doesn't help the fact that I'm the kind of student that expects A's and B's.
Till next time...hopefully soon!
I've now been back to the routine of school for a week now. I remember the beginning of last semester and how enthusiastic I had been. Due to the excitement of starting a new adventure. Unfortunately that excitement hasn't carried over. Back during my Senior year of high school, when I started planning what my next four years and how I said I would do Summer school in the hopes of getting ahead. Not thinking it would be to much. Though friends of mine who were already in college told me I would be burnt out if I did that. I now see what they meant. It has only been a semester and I already feel burnt out. Not that I want to get these next four to five years over in a hurry but I already wish for an extended vacation. Part of why I feel so tried I think is because I am even more busy then last semester. Then there is all these GenEd class I have to take to get to the good stuff. I have made it a definite goal for next semester to choice just one class that is just fun, and not worry if it has nothing to do with my major or requirements for graduation. I want to learn something interesting and fun!
Till next week....
A much needed three day weekend! YaY! So this past week has been a busy one but in a totally good way! I want to The Format concert with a friend. That was a lot of fun. I like to see the different type of people at concerts. The young and old, boys and girls, different religions, and cultural backgrounds with a similar interest in music, particularly a taste of The Format. I met my mentor for Blue Chip this past week too. It is good to have another resource when it comes to answering questions I have about college. I recommend that you all look into finding someone in your interest to help answer any questions you may have or just to have someone to chat with. Ok, well till next time.
I finally have a "real" major! Since Pre-Med isn't considered a major here. I'm now in the College of Family Consumer Science, as a Family Studies and Human Development major. With this major I plan on studying to become a Child Life Specialists. A back up plan if Medical School doesn't work out. I haven't seen much of my friends lately, been busy with studying. There really isn't anything interesting I have to say this week. Hopefully Next!
