Back to The Books

Well it’s that time of the year again…Santa has brought us our Juicy Couture, Victoria’s Secret and pretty pink digital cameras. We have rang in the New Year with lip glossed smiles and only the cutest outfit we could get our hands on and now, well now it’s back to school for the second half of the year.

I started school last Monday and since I am finally settled in and don’t need to look at my schedule to find my classes I knew I could write this blog in peace. This semester I am taking five classes. For those of you who read my other bogs, you already know this but I am taking JMC 201, English 102, French 201 =( , Math 142 and Sociology 101. Unfortunately, I have classes all five days of the school week and for some reason I decided to take on the challenge of a 7:40 class. Overall waking up at 5:00 hasn’t been that bad but like many others my new years resolution was to exercise and eat healthier. Because I am (at least at the moment) very dedicated to keeping this goal, my 5:00 alarm is not helping the situation. On Wednesdays I leave my house at 6:30 and don’t come home until 6:30 p.m. As you can guess by this time I am very tired and not in the mood to run on the treadmill for a half an hour. However, besides this Wednesday drawback waking up at 5:00 has made me more appreciative of sleep and my Zune, which helps wake me up the right way. Energy Filled. Friday is my blissful, catch-up on sleep day because my class isn’t till 12:40…THANK GOD!

Being a week into the semester we have begun taking notes, getting ready for the first tests, and reading the first few chapters. So far it’s not bad at all. In fact, I am excited for this semester; but aren’t we all in the beginning? My prediction is that my Sociology class will be the one I have a passion for. That may sound a little strange since I have a news writing and reporting class and that is my major but honestly I want to be a magazine writer and not so much a news reporter. Hence, the less excitement.

Unlike the beginning of last semester it is the cold weather that is a little annoying this time but I would much rather have that then the scorching heat. I know someday I will happy with the weather; but probably not until that day is 76 degrees outside and sunny. All of my classes are close together which saves the anxiety of walking too far to make it to class on time and/or getting lost. Overall, I have high hopes that this semester will make me a very more knowledgeable, organized, better person. How about you guys?

Hope you all had a nice break and are still enjoying the excitement of the new semester.
