Welcome to my site archives. 10 posts are listed per page.
I’m in a pretty great mood for no reason. Everyone seems to be happy around my school. That’s probably because it’s the middle of February but it’s been 75 degrees for the last five days straight. (It’s usually around 35 degrees at this time of the year. )You can tell it’s almost spring time because barely anyone is going to class. XD. My spring break is in three weeks. I’m kind of neutral about it right now. I wouldn’t care either way if break came tomorrow or if it came 2 months later.
I’m kind of sick right now - it’s strange. Instead of just getting all the symptoms at once I get a different one each day. On the first day I had only a sore throat and nothing else. The second day my sore throat was gone and I was only coughing. Yesterday I was only sneezing and nothing else. And today I have a slight fever, but the rest of me is normal. This is the first time this has happen to me. I think I prefer this better because I can actually do things I can’t do when I’m fully sick with all symptoms at once. I have math and art history test tomorrow. I mostly need to focus my attention in art history since I have no clue what I’m suppose to be learning in that class. Since it is a history class I guess I should remember dates and names, but the rest of the class is just about coming up with theories about what the artwork might’ve been used for. I think I’m a girl who just likes facts/ the truth. I don’t want to make up a use for something, I want to know what its actual use was. I need a time machine and a translator so I can go back in time and ask the people why they created the things they did. XD Unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to do that before tomorrow. Yesterday I watched the Japanese movie The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. I was hoping it would have a happy ending like the anime, but it didn’t. *sobs*
talk to you guys later. Best wishes ^^
The News said that there is suppose to be a record breaking epic snowstorm across the state. So far it’s just icy rain right now. I think the storm advisory goes into effect later today, but we’ll see. Usually people get so excited and anticipate something big, and nothing big happens. XD Other colleges had today off, but mine didn’t. I always seem to end up in schools that never like taking a day off due to weather conditions. I guess someone out there really wants me to go to class. -_-
Well during English class the teacher put us in pairs to talk for 20 minutes about the article/ topic that we are going to write about. He went around the room and paired us with the person behind us. I’m one of those people who don’t know half the people in my class because I never pay attention to the people sitting in the row behind me. I was curious to see who I was paired with so I tried to slowly turn my head around and see who it was without the person knowing. But I suck at that so the guy busted me. He looked up and gave me a sweet smile. I melted at that moment. :D I can’t believe I’m writing this. (Not that there are many guys around on the MyO to read this.) I don’t like sounding like a girly-girl but he was really smart and cute looking. I had to keep my hands together just to stop me from reaching out and playing with his hair. XD I didn’t really have much prepared so instead of running the risk of sounding like an idiot I showed him my article and told him I wasn’t fully sure if I was going to do that one. I said some basic ideas and just asked him to help me come up with something. Talking *coughStaringcough* at him for 20 minutes really put a smile on my face for the whole day. Today was a good way to start off the month.
Usually I can time things and remember when things are due without even trying that much. My brain just did it for me, but not lately. After being on break for so long I’m off on everything. I thought I did all my homework assignments for today, but when I went to class it turns out I did only half of everything. For speech I was suppose to answer questions on chapter one and two but I only did chapter one. And for English I only read the textbook assignment - I forgot to pick an article from the school newspaper to read. I’ve been so out of it lately. My mind needs to get readjusted to school. I woke up pretty spaced out today too. I couldn’t see or hear well. I had no sense of space and direction - it was awful. I think I walked an extra mile today simply because I accidentally took the long way to every place I had to go. I even went the wrong direction a few times. XD. This is going to be an interesting week. Hopefully things will go back to normal before the weekend because that’s when I have to work on some papers and projects that are due next week. (Probably more sleep will correct the problem.)
Hope you guys aren’t as spaced out as me. Enjoy your week. =]
Sometimes the things people say helps you without them even knowing it
Teacher (telling the class): “First week’s attendance doesn’t count”
Me (thinking in my mind): “Why am I just finding this out now.”
But I’m really glad I went. In speech class we just went around in a circle and read an excerpt from a speech that we liked. Even though it was snowing and there weren’t many students in class, that took up a long time. Afterwards a graduate student came in and recited to poems of his. He told a few stories too. I really enjoyed it.
My next class was English. He asked us if we had any questions about the syllabus and some how the conversation kept going to the point that everything we talked about was way off topic. XD This lasted for an hour. After that there was only fifteen minutes of class left and that’s when we attempted to go over the material. XD. But the class conversation was really insightful and useful to me. Somehow the students started asking questions about the teacher’s experiences. I think it started because he said that he hated English and thought it was pointless, but eventually (as you can see) he loves it now. That’s when people asked what he majored in first. He said that he was an engineering student, then switch to major in math, then philosophy. It was hilarious. The way his story kept going on it made me feel better about my current situation of not being exactly sure of what to change my major to. We asked what school he went to. He said that he started off in his home state of Idaho, but then transferred to Hawaii for a year, which somehow lead him into transferring to a school in Texas and then going to university in Washington D.C. After college he taught in Japan for a year and he explained at how confused he was and how he had to learn 2000 different kanji. It was crazy. He’s had so many different experiences. He’s been married and has a 14 year old. Because he looks young the whole class was shocked by all the things he’s done on his journey through college and after. He joked by saying he was 48. Which slightly made me nervous because liked I explained in my last post I didn’t want to waste so much time figuring out what I want to do with my life. But then he said that he was joking and he is really 33. That made me feel so much better.
Wow I really do procrastinate with everything I do (both boring and fun things). I had a month and five days for vacation but only began hanging out with friends and going places until the last week. The weeks before that I just sat around doing nothing. XD
So today was my first day of class after break. I had Speech and English. I wasn’t super thrilled to go, but I went anyways. It was another typical first day environment. The teacher went over the syllabus and we all went around the room saying our name and other junk. And of course there were the people who were trying too hard to stand out from everyone else. The usual. I have Math and Art History tomorrow. I wonder what that will be like.
Well anyways, since my school is really far away when I first arrived on campus in August my mom rented a mini-van and my brother drove me here and moved all my heavy things into my room. But I don’t know if we’ll be able to do that again for the next school year. My mother desperately wants to move from our apartment to another one because she’s found better places that cost a lot less. There is going to be way to much happening at the same time. And because of all that chaos my mom told me to find a school closer by. This got me into really considering taking a year off. I need to figure some things out. I guess I’m worried about wasting time. I feel like I’m getting too old too fast and don‘t really know where my life is heading. I don't want to be that random 35 year old graduating from college, but then changes her mind and goes back to her first job. >.< I’ve taking some core college courses this semester so I’ll be able to transfer easily and change my major if I want. However, I not sure what exactly I’d change it to. There are certain things that I enjoy doing for fun but when I have to them for assignments they begin to fell like a chore and I hate them. Which is why doing the beginning of last semester I was super stoked to attend my fashion design classes but by November I couldn’t wait to get the hell out of them. Which lead me to thinking that this is no longer the major for me. But what next? What do I enjoy so much that no matter how much work I get in that subject I would continue to enjoy it? Hmmm.
I just discovered that there is a wi-fi signal in my kitchen. I don’t know where it’s coming from. Its really low though so I have to remain by the window while balancing my laptop on one arm at eye level because if I lower it I lose the signal. XD haha. I would go outside and try to follow the signal to the source but it’s really cold out. Well on the bright side it’s a win-win. Free internet and now I’ll be able to improve my balance and arm strength. ^_^
Hope you guys are having a great vacation. My second semester doesn't start until Jan 17 so I still have half a vacation left. I'm more than ready for a new year. I haven't decided what my resoultion will be yet. (Not that I'll remember it by the end of the year anyways.) Well anyways I'm off. Enjoy your New Years.
This post will be brief because the long semester has drained most of my brain power. XD The semester is finally over. I’m so happy there aren’t words to describe it. Well, anyways I’ll be going home. I can’t wait. And now couldn’t be a better time. It snowed Sunday and now it’s 7 degrees outside. At least its 20 degrees warmer back home. I’ll talk to you guys as soon as I can - I don‘t have internet access at home. Hope you guy enjoy your break with the people you care about the most. And have fun (doing my two favorite things) shopping and catching up on sleep. =]
じゃね
Don’t you just love that feeling you get when you’re halfway done with a project that’s been taking a long time to complete. That’s the feeling I have right now. :D
Everyone has to go to the dark side once in a while
Well my plan to have my last test during finals week moved to an earlier date failed. (My reason wasn’t good enough.) So I took some time to think about it. Because it’s a regular test (that’s weighed the same as all the other tests I’ve taken for that class) if I don’t take it then my grade won’t be effected to harshly. I calculated it out and my overall grade percentage would only drop a little. The test is scheduled on a Friday for finals week so I also looked at the train tickets for that Friday after the test and on Saturday. All of the tickets (for all time slots) were nearly 100 dollars. O_o. So it’s settled. I’m going to bail and go home early without taking the test. Which is something I’ve never done before. When it comes to school I’m a goody good girl. I don’t ditch and do all my work. I’ve done that for the past 14 years of school! It’s about time I rebelled a little.
Do the unexpected.
I now know my exam schedule for finals week. On Monday December 13th I have two tests, but I don’t have another one until Friday the 17th. For my exam that’s on Friday my teacher made an announcement yesterday that if we want to take the test earlier that we have to be prepared to get three signatures. One from her, the dean, and I think the chairman of the department. I honestly don’t feel like having three days off between test when I can just move it to Monday evening. That way I could start my winter break a few days early. I’m going to talk to her today and tell her I’m willing to collect the signatures. It would be nice to start break on Tuesday December 14. Tuesday train tickets are cheap so I could buy one for a morning train. I hope they see things my way and are willing to sign for me to take it early. Its not as if it’s a 100+ question cumulative test for the whole semester. Our final exam is going to be a regular 50 question test. It will only cover the last three chapters we learnt not the whole semester. So I wouldn’t need those three days to study for it. Oh well, Here I go. Off to use my power of persuasion. =]
