College

Well, college is great! Lots of fun times and fun friends! Classes are going good, i will officially be in Calculus I instead of Calculus II tomorrow hopefully! Everything else is good, lots of homework as usual. Especially in Theatre and Spanish!!! I love the voice class and theatre class and my FYSem! This last weekend we did a Piper Scavenger Hunt, which was fun. I felt more comfortable with the community after and not scared to go off campus! Afterall, a bunch of friends and i took the bus to Old Chicago which was nice to get off campus. I got a job as a tutor and training is on Wednesday, so i am excited that i got a job and hopefully will get one of the other jobs i applied for! We also play a lot of Volleyball here in our spare time. Auditions for the musical Urinetown are tonight, so i am excited for that! Need to pick the song i am singing still! Haha. But other than that everything has been going good! The food is good! Need to start working out though! Haha. Talk with you later!

First Day of Classes

Well, today is the first day of the classes. This morning i had Calculus II, which i am already dropping and switching to Calculus I. I never had Calculus, but the test online told me i should take Calculus II, obviously it was wrong, cause i had NO idea what he was talking about! It’s all good. However, i have to do a whole bunch of stuff to get the class switched. Like the get instructor to sign off on it, get the instructor of the other class to sign off on it, get my advisor to sign off on it which i wont see till Tuesday of next week! Why can’t they just change it??? I just got back from Advanced Conversational Spanish and i look forward to that class and getting better at my Spanish. In about 40 minutes i have Voice, which should be fun. After that i will proly eat lunch. Later tonight i have to Theatre Picnic, which should be fun! It will be nice to get to know others in the theatre department here. I will see how i like this whole college thing in about a week after i get a week of my classes down and the homework load. Yesterday was the job fair and many of them told me that i would be a good fit, so that was good, unless they just say that to everyone to make them feel good. Hopefully i get one of them. I applied for all Clerical and Office work along with being an Ambassador and tour people of the campus! But first thing on my mind is……DROP THAT CALCULUS II CLASS NOW!!!!!!

1st day!

Wow, sooooooooooooooooo much going on and to do!!!! Today was the first day of Orientation here. It went well, early morning. Yesterday we hung out with my Grandparents that live about 5 hours from here and went to the Mall of America and such. Then we ate dinner and went back to the hotel after some last minute shopping for my room. Then, this morning we got here and got all the papers and such and started moving stuff up to my room. And let me tell you, it took a while, seeming how there are NO STAIRS! So we walked up and down 4 levels continuously. Then we went and did a make up orientation since we weren’t at the one in July and then went to lunch which was yummy! Then I came back to my room and started getting things situated while my parents went to more meetings and at 3 we went to Opening Ceremonies where they introduced stuff and we said goodbye, which was really sad and hard for me to do, surprisingly! Then i went with my FYSem and met the instructor and he introduced everything. After that my FYSem played some Ice Breakers and ate dinner, which was nice. Then we had a Floor Meeting about rules and policies and such. After that we had Fair Play, which was kinda cool actually! Shook about 200 or so hands tho…..YUCK!!! Scared about H1N1! Haha, but i have my hand sanitizer and soap! So will keep a lookout for that! We have another full schedule today, i didnt get to my room till about 10 tonight and proly wont do so until later tomorrow night! Hopefully i can keep awak seeing how i have to wake up in 6 hours. Ahhh! Need to get to sleep and get my room settled too! Will be doing that over the next few days!

Last Day in CDA

Well, Tonight is my last night in CDA. Or should i say morning since it is 2:34 A.M.? Yesterday was a great day! I went to coffee with Bri which went great! It was so great to see her! Then i went to the Dentist to get a cleaning and make sure everything was alright. And the tooth that has been bugging me for a while is just a sensitive tooth and nothing is wrong with it, Thank goodness!!!!!!! After that i went to Olive Garden with Teri and Madison and said goodbye to them. It was so sad! :( Then i came home and then went to Tracy’s and watched America’s Got Talent and Sex and the City: The Movie, which was good. Then this morning, or afternoon i should say, i woke up and got ready to go to Tomato Street with Ayreal. It was nice to catch up with her before i leave. Then i came home and started packing. Then i went over to Emily’s and we hung out. We went to the store and got Brownies, Cookie Dough, and Ice Cream, and now i feel sick!!!! Now i am home and going to wake up at about 11 to finish packing up the last of things. I can’t believe i leave tomorrow already! I am leaving at 3 p.m. I will miss everyone here so much and don't know what i will do without Emily.

Amazing People in my Life

Well, today was a great day. I slept until about 1 in the afternoon, then woke up and took a quick shower and then went and got my haircut. It was great to see Kellie before i left for college, i told her i would be back at Christmas time to get my hair done again because she is the only one i trust with it. haha. Then i went to the NOVA Office to do some last minute work. After that i went to Bob’s for another going away party which was SOOOOO much fun! We ate and talked and played Catch Phrase, the best game ever!!!! We had lots of fun and took pictures! I have the most amazing people in my life and i love them dearly. The most amazing director ever, named Marina Kalani, bawled as she said goodbye and said that this wasn’t goodbye and she would see me Dec. 17th. I love her so much. My best friend Emily Cleveland took lots of pictures and we will see each other again, so we weren’t sad yet. Bob McAdams, the most amazing man ever, said bye to me and that was really sad too! I love them all and a girl named Nikki that i met tonight and was so much fun! I can’t believe i leave on Thursday. Well, i am off to bed, tomorrow is a busy day! Will have Coffee with Bri tomorrow morning at 10:30, then a dentist appointment at 12:30 and then lunch with Teri and Madison at about 3 or 4ish and then off to Tracy’s to watch a movie with some NOVA people again.
