Freshmen

Well the semester is winding down and I am trying to figure out what classes I want to take. Its a little crazy, kinda like putting a puzzle together. First of all, I have to figure out what classes I need to take. Then figure out the ones that I want to take. Within that, I have to remember that I have more time here, so I can take classes later on to, I don't have to do it all now. But after all that is figured out, you have to figure out what times you can take all your classes. It is a multi-layered challenge, but it is exciting because I think that my classes next semester will be fun.

Weekends are as useless as the week days are...You tell yourself I will do this weekend during the week and you tell yourself you really will get something done... And then the weekend comes around and you get absolutely nothing done...GreatSo right now I'm trying to get everything done in like a few hours instead of over a few days...It never changes...LolI want a productive weekend, no distractions...

As I write this blog entry I am sitting outside on the chapel lawn in the shade using my jacket as a blanket. The weather is so beautiful today, and I am taking advantage of it! I was tired of doing homework in my dorm room, so I decided to bring my laptop outside for a change. It might be just a little bit chilly in the mornings (which means that I can have a mug of hot chocolate... yum), but right now it's in the mid-70's and gorgeous. It's a nice change from the 100-degree heat during the summer. If only it could be like this year-round!

Things have slowed down a little bit for me, so I'm using this change in pace as a time to get caught up on some things, rest, and prepare myself for the home stretch (until the end of the semester, at least). It's 4:00 right now and I have my homework done, as well as some other things that needed to be done before the weekend. It feels so good to get something accomplished!

Friday is Halloween, and next week is my birthday, and it's going to feel wierd not being at home for both, especially my birthday. My family's coming for the football game on Saturday, and then I'm going home for the night to celebrate with them, but I know already that it's going to feel strange waking up and not hearing fond wishes come from them before I leave for class. It's one of those realities of being independent, I guess. I'm just glad that I can still celebrate with them anyway.

It's so quiet and peaceful outside. I love it!

Wow time flys...
It's been a few weeks since I last posted... I meant to keep up with it, but we all know how that goes, lol..It's crazy how we're already over half way done with this semester, I feel like it's only been a few weeks since I got here!

I feel like I never have anytime to relax these days... Especially since I work at the Business Office on top of class and homework.. This is mostly my fault on the account that i stay up forever, not even doing anything productive... After psychology today I'm beginning to think I should really get some more sleep... But the odds of me actually going through with that wish is very unlikely...

But after an extremely grueling Calc test today, I feel very worn out, like the lack of sleep and relaxation is going to catch up with me, hopefully not until Thanksgiving Break! LOL ... anyways... MMM... by the way it's extremely hard to find somewhere to quietly study at late hours, the ASC is so freaking loud... Like really, not everyone in the whole place wants to hear your music, even if it's a good song...

But anyways, I'm going to the movie at the Party Barn tonight, Silence of the Lambs... Great movie... Hope it'll be fun..

More Later... Hopefully

Here is somethig that I have learned about college. There are a lot of oppurtunities, both good and bad, and it seems like the paths that you can follow are endless. Something that I have had to learn to do is proritize and manage my time. In high school, I could get everything done I wanted to pretty easily. College is a different animal, but not in a bad way. If you just set your priorities, God will lead you to where He wants you, and He will provide you with a path to follow even when the one in front of you looks like a jungle.
