School

So as I said, I would be back to catch up on the things that has happened. I started school sometime at the end of August. It was a slow start trying to adapt to a new place and make friends. But now I have a "buddy" in each class. I call them "buddy" cuz we don't hang outside of class, just someone I can talk to and be "friends" with in the classroom. But some of them are really great people and I hope I can actually be friends, cuz I think we think alike sometimes and it's sort of hard to find those people that don't think I'm weird and tries to understand me. Someone I can be hyper and funny with but can also show my laid-back and serious side, since my mood changes a lot. The semester is coming to an end, so that means new classes, I just hope I can stay in touch with most of my "buddies" but also meet new ones!

Now I'm gonna talk about the work load, compared to a community college. It isn't too bad, not much homework so the workload isn't bad at all, it's pretty similar. The thing that sucks are the term paper required for every class, it's like a 10 page paper! But I have to do a few of those over Thanksgiving break so hopefully I can get it done cuz 10 pages is a lot for me. Also the exams are weighted much more since there is less homework, so if I fail an exam I lose my shot at getting an A. So far I have done pretty good overall, probably B in average of all my classes, the worst one was a 76% and I hope it stays that way, I don't think I can bare getting another low score, especially since my next exams are primarily final exams AHHH! I cannot fail those, although I think my finance class could be a candidate for worst grade this semester. That is my hardest class, but I will try to study over the break, especially since I just finished a 2500 word term paper for that class, so the final would be the last big obstacle.

Old friends. I still see some people from my community college and meet up with Lanae almost every Monday so it is good. Just because I know them, they know me, and we can just feel comfortable around each other and all we have to do is get to know more of each other. It's great seeing a familiar face in an unfamiliar environment!

Well that's about it for school talk. Just one more month until I am officially off from school and into winter break. Not really a month of school since we get a week off next week, but you get the point, schools almost over!
