Post 7: Goings On

Midterms haven’t been to bad. I decided to drop one of my classes because at the moment it’s just too much. Over the weekend I brought my dog to campus and some of my friends got to meet her. Then stayed with a friend and got to just hang out and have fun. Overall things have been a little stressful I suppose. I’ve been dealing with some bad dreams and working through some tough topics. Everyone does though. I’m just trying to stay as focused as I can while still having fun and being around people that I want to see. Sometimes writing these are hard. Trying to hit the word count is a  struggle.

I lost one of my gauges which I’m pretty sad about. But I got some new ones. Wood and ones that have dinosaurs on them. I think they’re pretty cute. I don’t know if I’ll ever find the gauge I lost. People really like my dog and she soaks up all the attention like a sponge. I’m also going to help a friend put up posters of the subway lines from Chicago. We’ve listened to so much music this weekend. This post is honestly all over the place.

Often I don’t know how things will go and trying to work through things in my head can be a task. Why are some thoughts so jumbled. They’re our own thoughts, things that happened to us. It’s hard to work past them though. Which is frustrating. It’s a work in progress.

Post Two: My College Experience So Far

The first two weeks of college seem to have gone by fast. I already have favorite teachers and disliked teachers. My favorites actually do their job and teach. The ones I dislike don’t really teach and instead just issue homework and think that that’s teaching. (Hint: It’s not.)

I’ve also been working on making some friends. I’ve made a few, one of them from my classes, some from the commuter lounge. Even though I’m pretty introverted, it’s nice to be welcomed and have people to talk to. 

I’ve also joined some clubs. The most active one being TaeKwonDo. To say that I’ve been sore almost all week would be an understatement. I’d never done anything extremely physical before, so this is a learning curb mentally and physically. Though despite the challenge, I’ve been enjoying it. 

Classes haven’t been to bad so far. I enjoy my writing class for the most part. I surprisingly enjoy my math class and economics class. I wish homework were a little more balanced since I have some professors that seem to think their class is the most important. It’s frustrating for sure, especially with trying to balance work as well. 

I also have a job that I enjoy. It’s a campus job but it’s with good people. It’s flexible and I don’t have to strain myself.

We’ll see how the upcoming weeks go. It’s very different from what I’m used to, especially since I’m not fresh out of high school. I might end up getting a tutor just to make sure I’m on the safe side. I think I’ll do well.
