Roommate

My roommate is moving out at semester! I know it sounds awful for me to say but I am soooo excited! It was always so awkward since we never talk. But that also scares me because what if I get a new roommate that isn't any better?! I really hope that I get paired with no one and I get the room all to myself. That is best case scenario! :)

DONE

I am finally done with all of my homework for my 1st semester of college. It feels great to have everything turned in and complete and a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders! I finished my paper tonight and it felt amazing to finally finish it and I had way more information than I though that I would find which is always a good thing. My swimming class for this weekend was canceled and that was a bummer because that delays when I can begin teaching swimming lessons. I can still get hired which is good!

HOME

I just wanna go home. I am so sick. I cannot stop coughing, it hurts to breathe, and my head feels like it is going to EXPLODE. I really hope that all I have is a bad cold and that it will pass over within a few days because I have had it for almost a week now and I just keep getting worse. I miss my couch at home, that is my favorite place to sleep when I am sick. I just want some homemade chicken noodle soup with no vegetables and some good Christmas movies! I called my mom and told her "I just wanna go home!" and she responded with, "Why where are you now? You're not in your room?" I was like "I meant YOUR home mom, my real home!!!"

First Semester

Oh boy! I am so close to being done with my first semester of college. How exciting! I have finished all of my assignments for every class except my IS project but I am in the process of working on it. I am taking the WSI class for lifeguarding this weekend and it will be taking up my whole weekend 5pm-10pm on Friday, 8am -8pm on Saturday and 8am-8pm on Sunday. I really hope I pass this class because then I will be switching jobs here on campus and will start lifeguarding and giving lessons! I do not like my current job because I am not getting enough hours to fulfill my work study and I currently work at the sporting events and those are not every day so it is really hard to get in more than 4 hours a week. That is stressful because I know that if I do not work enough hours I will have to pay back that money which will cause more stress on me. Working as a lifeguard I will be able to work in the mornings before class and after class at nights which will be really nice and I will not have to work on weekends unless I choose to.

Disclosure

For my final project in IS I chose to read the book Disclosure. Of course because this was an assigned reading I was not thrilled to read it. (even though I was given multiple options) I purchased this on my phone weeks ago and tried to start it multiple times. I just could not get into it. So of course I put it off until yesterday. Being it was on my phone it was very small print and 1023 pages, talk about discouraging! Anyways I got halfway through the book and realized that I could not put it down. I wanted to know what was going to happen next! It turned out to be a very good book. I also looked up the movie on it and found it online to watch for free. The movie and the book were quite a bit different. The ideas were the same but the words were changed and some stories throughout the movie were changed in some way. I was surprised by how much was different between the book and the movie.

Break!

Break went by way to fast!! It was very nice to be away from school but I did not have one free day where I got to just lay around and do nothing. I babysat Friday night, Saturday morning, Sunday afternoon, Tuesday 7:30a.m.-5:30p.m. then again 6p.m.-8:30p.m. , Wednesday 7:30a.m.-5:30p.m. , Thursday I had 3 Thanksgivings to go to and they were all delicious, Friday I went to IL to my boyfriend's grandparents house until Saturday and hung out there and came back Saturday around 7p.m. , and I had to be back on campus to work at 10a.m. this morning. I also came down with some sort of sickness that I am not sure what it is yet. I have a sore throat, runny nose, and bad body/head aches. Overall I enjoyed break but I wish I would have had a little more me time.

debate

I really enjoyed the debate during class. I thought that it was not going to be fun at all when I was doing my researched. But it turned out to be a really interesting topic because there are so many points for and against anonymous sperm donating. I thought that our side did very good. This was also my first debate I have ever done. This debate was very personal beliefs based because there is no right or wrong side. Overall I though it was a fun thing to do as a class.
