Second half of first week

My First week continues…
Well I have returned to each class now. Everything continues to go smoothly. Wednesday I went to art. I was supposed to sit with my sisters friend that I mentioned Jeremy. He said he needed a sitting buddy because he didn’t know anyone else. So I went and didn’t see him, so I sat with Tiffany again and just watched for him. I never saw him until 15 minutes AFTER class started! So that didn’t work. I figured I’d facebook him before Friday and we would work it out. Class was interesting! We were starting with WHY study art, and I found the different perspectives really interesting. I think I might of messed up the order of my classes in my last blog, because after Art I have psychology, and I might of switched that last blog with Bible, I don’t know. ANYWAY, I went to PSYCHOLOGY. We got into more of a lecture. We were talking about different theories/theorists. I REALLY enjoy my teacher! We had great discussion and she really keeps my attention. I left there for English. We had pretty interesting discussion, my teach is still crazy loopy, but I think it will be ok. We are writing A LOT including a research paper which is yuck, but oh well. After class I had to talk to her. I got an excused absence for Friday. I am going with Madalyn to a funeral. There is a program here call Big Brothers, Big Sisters. You adopt a “little” and do fun stuff with them. Well, the other night when she called her little, she found out her mom died the night before!!! So yeah, we were going to go to that and would miss our 10:00 classes, but it was excused. Then we went to chapel. We had a female teacher come and speak. She gave points of encouragement and points on how to make it through the year. It was kind of repetitive like get sleep, do your reading, don’t skip chapel, blah blah. Haha, But she seemed very nice and a fun lady. Then was lunch at the amazing bean haha. I had a grilled chicken salad, YUM! I hit work at 1:00. Mrs. Debbie was CRAVING a brownie, SO she sent me and Carrie to get brownies from chic-fil-a on campus for the whole office! Apparently, if they want something like that on campus, or at Sonic during HAPPY HOUR, they send us and buy something for us too!!! If you work mornings they buy you breakfast, too bad I never do haha. Nothing much happened that evening. Thursday- My day started with disgusting Biology. We went through a whole lecture and it was indeed torture. She made us get up and stretch twice, UGH. Afterward, I went to Madalyn’s room to walk to Bible. She had just gotten up, but she made it in time to leave for class. We had four minutes when we got to class, so we went to get a Gatorade from the little cafĂ© down the hall. This will possibly become a tradition, we just have to watch our bean bucks! Class was kind of long. We basically summed up creation to Acts. Haha So it was a lot of lecture, but now we can get into more discussion which I LOVE! I left there to meet up with the rest of my gang for chapel. But we didn’t know where to go, so instead Madalyn and I went to the library. We both just checked our email and I got soup for lunch. We were basically stalling before my 12:00 and Madalyn was sweet enough to stall with me! We printed off our music for sing song. We’re excited! I then went to speech. Our teacher is the director of the debate team, so she was on a debate trip. SO, we joined with another Coms class. I did NOT enjoy it, well the talking before class was fun, but once class started, the teacher went SOOO fast that notes were impossible! It’s a GOOD thing that our book has the definitions we need. We take online quizzes that are timed weekly. I actually need to do that!!! After this class I was done until work. I had to go to work at 2:00, so I came back to my room for an hour to change (I can’t wear jeans with holes to work) and do some school before. Kate came by to pick up stuff I had of hers and she also gave me a ride to work. Work was fine. Same stuff, I did learn how to do a new certain process and that’s good. Then I went with Madalyn to the mall. We did a little shopping and by we, I mean HER haha. Dinner at the bean with the girls. Then I got my stuff and met Sam and Ben at the library. Stayed there until I met Madalyn at the campus center at 9:25 for Sing Song practice at 9:30. SO exciting! I realized I hadn’t taken my strattera for the past two days, so YEAH, I was a little crazy. My throats been in BAD shape even with meds, so I sounded like a man. Haha. But our show is a combination of 8 songs and we got through 4!!! So yeah! It was fun. After I spent an hour or so with Keith on the phone. I was starting my homework and working on things while we talked. We got some EXCITING news! Keith’s coached had a private talk with him. He was scared, but his coach said he saw SERIOUS potential in Keith’s skills and he sees him playing for varsity (he’s on JV now) next year, if not later this season!!! I am so proud of him and he’s really excited! So that’s awesome! Eventually, we got off so I could shower and go to bed. I wasn’t done with homework until 1:30. Then showered and went to bed. Oh my, this semester will be long! My first week is almost done!

Thanks for writing! You have no idea how much I enjoy reading about your days - the little tidbits that are going on in your life. I love that you are enjoying college, your classes, and your friends. You have such a full life up there and are doing so well.

Whenever the negatives seem to be hitting you (court stuff, money stuff, etc.), come back and read your blog. Remind yourself of how full and fun most of your days are. Think about seeing your immediate family and a few extras for Sing Song. Think about your Spring Break trip.

Life is good. I love you!

Get well soon!
