So tomorrow I'm coming home and I couldn't be more excited. Today I have felt very independent. I've done a number of things by myself that before leaving for college, I may have been too afraid to do. For instance, right now I'm just sitting in the CUB, among lots of other students, just by myself studying and working on an essay (and writing this entry). Earlier I was at this Café, sipping on a nice Chai tea, registering for classes (which I'll get to in a minute), and working on another essay. Again I did this by myself. I just love feeling independent. Before I could never go anywhere without calling a friend to see if they'd come with me. However now, I've found that I don't need anybody else's help to accomplish things for myself. Recently I went to the gym by myself and workout for about an hour without my friends to make me feel more comfortable. It's good to know that next year when I'm in my apartment I won't need to call a friend every time I go grocery shopping! I'm not sure if I could handle clothes shopping by myself yet, but I'm getting there.

So, let me tell you about the classes I registered for.

On Monday, Wednesday and Friday I have the following classes

9:10 - 10:00 am -Economics 101

10:10-11:00 am - Math 202 (Business Calculus)

11:10-12:00 pm - French 203

12:10-1:00 pm - GenEd 110

On Tuesdays and Thursdays my schedule is like this:

1:25-2:40 pm - Communication Studies (public speaking)

I'm very much looking forward to all my classes and i'm really glad I got my act together and got my grades up. Academically things are looking up and I am so excited about that!

See you all soon!

Tri Citiesss.

How I miss them. First things first, I need to go to some bagels upon my return. Then I'd like to go to PF Changs, go to Becky's to play with her dog, Meeka, and ummmm, see everybody!

I'm so stoked to come home for thanksgiving this friday. I'm excited to go to work, and see everybody there and eat good food!

I'm also excited not to have to share a room with anybody, and to sleep in my wonder bed (it's so comfortable). I'm just dying of excitement.

College is getting easier, that or I'm just adjusting. I'm not really sure. Prioritizing school over everything else has been a challenge, but I'm managing. In fact I think it's time I get off the computer and work on my mountain of homework.

Here's the deal.

My roommate is a very nice guy. But I cannot live with him. It all boils down to when it comes time to go to bed. He likes the window up (which turns the room into an icebox in the morning), all lights off, and he snores. I like the windows closed, which isn't that crazy considering it's below freezing outside. I also like a little bit of light, always have. I used to be able to compromise, because typically he goes to bed way after me, so I fall asleep way before he starts to snore. Lately however he has been going to bed earlier, and he snores SO LOUD. As far as I'm concerned, if you snore, you shouldn't have any say in the window or the light situation. If I have to suffer through his snoring, then I'm closing the window and turning on some lights. It's really frustrating because I've told him that I like the window closed since I hate being cold in the morning, and he doesn't care! He falls asleep so fast I don't know why he's so concerned with temperature.

Apparently no matter who you are, no matter how nice and friendly you are (like my roommate), sharing a room with me, will make me inconsiderate, selfish, and ultimately turn against you. Who am I becoming!? Oh well, he's snoring now, so time to turn on the lights, close the window, and attempt to sleep =) It's only fair.

sick

"She's decided to become an incubus of viral plague," That is my favorite line from The Devil Wears Prada, Meryl Streep is hilarious. But I myself have become that incubus of viral plague and I'm not liking it! Tomorrow I'm going to Cheney with my friend Brenda to visit our friend Ashley who goes to Eastern. I just really hope I'm not too sick. Yesterday was miserable, and yet I went to my classes, because I'm a trooper. However last night was the worst. I had a fever, my body was sore, and I had the chills! But today I feel much better just a bit of plugged up sinuses and a stuffy nose. Nothing major. I'm currently enjoying my breakfast of Diet Coke and ADD pills. Wonderful, truly delightful.

I can't really think of much else to say. Today I have no classes as usual, and then tomorrow school is cancelled for veterans day and then on thursday I don't have class, so basically I have this lovely three day break in the middle of the week. I'm enjoying it.

I'll post more later.
