College Life

Well, I've made it!!! I am in college. In fact, I have been here for about 3 weeks now. Three weeks and I am just barely getting the opportunity to post. If that doesn't tell you how busy I have been maybe the mounds of homework, collage of extracurriculars, and the fact that I still cannot find a job will give you a general idea. I am really loving it here though. I have found some of the greatest friends. They make my day everyday (usually through the laughter). The classes I am taking have their challenges. Mainly general courses for now but they are fun. Math and science are still the same as I remember them, my Religion class is just adding to the foundation I have received over the past two years. My International Foundations class about the Middle East is just starting classroom time but seems to be interesting, especially considering that I love geography and cultures. My favorite class at the moment, however, is my Psychology class. (Thank goodness since that is my major.) It is really informative so far as to the methods of psychology and how it is done. We are now starting to get into the details and case studies and different parts and procedures of this scientific study of behavior and experience. I hope that my classes continue to go well and that I can stay caught up on my homework. Oh yeah, that is another thing. I think for the first time in years and years and years, I am not behind on my homework and reading. A lot of that is because the learning model here is all about preparation and so a lot of the teachers have quizzes over the reading before it is even discussed in class. It keeps me in check and up to date. I am very thankful for that because I feel like I am learning more than I ever have before, and a lot of it is sticking. I hope that my posts won't be so infrequent but we will see what happens.

#6 Move On

Topic #6: Your Going To/Never Going To Move Away Because... In my dreams, I live in a quaint loft in New York City. That is, before I move into my penthouse on the upper-east side of Manhattan. Not to mention a beach hose in LA. In my reality, I have lived in Wyoming and Arizona and even a few months in Europe and I still find myself back in my hometown. So what do I actually want? I'm not entirely sure. I love being in my hometown. It's familiar. I have my parents here. My sisters are a short drive away. We can all get together every so often...ya know, like families do. When I moved to Wyoming to follow a job, however, there was a sense of finally becoming an adult. I was on my own. Completely responsible for myself, and I did so successfully until my company laid me off and hung me out to dry. The one major drawback of that time was not being around family for holidays. I blame the weather and the company I worked for. The actual being away part wasn't too bad....

Back to Reality

This past week has been a little more eye opening. I guess the big thing is all about my grades. Throughout the semester, prior to this week, I have somehow kept my averages in all of my classes above a 90%. I am amazed because usually my work ethic is below average. I am proud to say that this semester has been different. I have done all of my homework on time. Now to this past week. I have still completed all of my assignments on time but a few of my grades have taken a hit. In my science class, I found out that an assignment that we do on a weekly basis was not receiving any points for med, in fact, I was getting zeros in that category. Upon talking with the teacher, I found out that I turned them in to the wrong place and that he could give me partial credit but not full credit. After multiple conversations, emails, and a little note of displeasure via our learning journals, I have managed to get the grade from a D+ at the beginning of the week to a solid B. Much better ...
