Work Hard, Play Harder

I know I should be working on my BioChemistry or studying for my lecture quiz in Anatomy tomorrow. But for some reason this seems like a better idea. However, with school work load there is the natural fact that every college student needs an income. How else would we be able to afford the endless supply of soup and popcorn? For myself, I acquired a job at the local Center for Arts and History. I've only worked there for two days so far, but I love it. It's only office work and helping my artist boss set up for the upcoming galleries. Either way it is something to help pay the bills. I know i keep hearing people say, "make sure you find some YOU time in all that extra school/work", well yea know what i consider sleep and holidays, me time. I suppose I need to find better activities to count but that'll have to do for now. All that aside I love it here in Lewiston and I wouldn't have it any other way or any other school. Only downside to my school work is my math class. My teacher is from Greece and speaks very fast and poor English; and sadly his handwriting doesn't do him any justice, either. However, his humor is the kind that makes it all better. Although I feel like i need to get him some gold stars for him to give students when they answer questions correctly. Every time some one answers one of his idiot proof questions you get awarded with a variety of "excellent!" "Good for you!" "Terrific!" I however find this comment laughable. Besides the fact I'm in a basic algebra class when I ended high school in Calculus AB. Other than that I feel like with the way he talks to responses and asks questions, it's an elementary grade math class so gold stars are a necessity. Boy wouldn't that be a sight, a short, bald, foreign, 65 year old man, passing out gold stars to college students?? This needs to happen! Best college ever, by the way! Okay enough for today, hopefully work plus school don't shorten my life. Or maybe the giant hill I walk up each day will take me out first, this is undecided. If only i could fly! Would solve a lot of problems and hill contemplations. Oh well, another day another aggravating climb. Only time will tell, now for homework! Joy.

Take Two

All settled into my new life in college and finally after two days of classes it feels more like it can be a temporary home than it did when the homesickness was in full swing. I still miss home and my family but it isn't as persistent. Class is what I was used to however the feel of not knowing what to do with myself and knowing practically no one makes for an adventure all it's own. After hours spent already on homework and it's made the days go faster when brain turns to mush after 3 hours of note taking. However, the importance of my science classes cannot be over stated. My future rides on an application at the end of my sophomore year. Nothing in life comes easily so it's all the more reason to believe in your passion and fight like crazy for that need to arrive at the inevitable conclusion that is desired. Here's hoping for the best, I'm only a freshman so time will tell. But all I want is to enjoy the now and only hope for the future. I don't want to waste away my life being scared of something one woman said about the degree I would like to seek. I want to be able to enjoy these next four years while achieving everything I've dreamed for. Fingers Crossed.

Halfway there

I guess you could say it has felt like one of those weeks where my future just slapped me in the face. Made me take a step back and see how drastically in such a short period of time everything is about to change. Went to Lewiston yesterday so I could put my schedule together for the Fall semester and it turned into getting my student I.D., making my own decisions towards my schedule, and talking with the head of the nursing department who was proud of the science load I took on to be on track for junior year. Walking around campus...needless to say, I felt like I was floating. It just didn't feel real, but after that day I just can't wait to pack and start the next chapter in my adventure story. It was so much to take in but not in a bad way. Especially since there were a lot of cute boys going as freshman too, BONUS! I know very girl like of me but it's to be expected. Although once May comes that means AP tests, which is the consistency of my classes so after the tests, no more learning! Let the count down to graduation begin!
