Relax Weekend

This past weekend has been very relaxing, for once this semester I did not have to worry about an essay or a project to do. I finally got to catch up on sleep and lay back and chill. Throughout this whole semester every weekend I had either a lot of homework or some sort of project to work on. so going from that to finally getting a break felt good. It has been a while since I have gotten to take a break, the last time I had a break was during vacation. My classes are starting to become stressful, taking six classes in high school was easy; I'm taking five and it is very time consuming and stressful. I'm starting to slack off a bit and it is starting to take a bit of an affect in my class work. My weeks and weekends are full of homework, homework, and more homework. So finally having some down time felt good, I was not stressed about a deadline or anything. I know though that I better enjoy it when I have down time, cause sooner or later finals are going to come up and I'm going to be busier than ever before. 

Stress

This past week has been really hectic, I have had a lot of things on my mind. Recently I have noticed that I have been slacking off a bit, which I usually do not do. I keep making an excuse saying that I am sick, which I am, but still does not mean I should slack off on important class work or homework. I am regularly really good with doing homework and classwork, but I feel myself lagging in that department. Work is beginning to pile up I have an essay for English, I have to read a lot more which I am still not used to, I also have an exam for math this week and I have still not yet started the review sheet I was given to practice and study for the test, and to top all of that I have work to do for my astronomy class and homework to do for mu online theatre class. To top all of that off I also have work from my personal stuff to do which I find hard to manage with all of this school work. When people say that second semester is always the hardest, they are not kidding, it truly is a lot of work to do. I even thought for me taking like five classes was going to be a breeze, WRONG; in college it is nothing like it was in high school, because you have more work and then other personal things that play into part. I feel that if I do not get myself together my second semester here at Stan State is going to be the most stressful thing I have ever done in my life. 

Life In The Dorms

Living in the dorms is not as difficult as I thought it was going to be. It's very convenient, I can leave to class like five minutes ahead of time and still make it to class on time. They also have fun activities on the weekends for students who do live on campus. Some of the activities were paint balling, white water rafting, exploring Chinatown in San Francisco, and many others. I honestly had no choice but to live on campus; because how far I live. I'm from southern California, so it would have been ridiculous for me to live there and come to school here. At first I was nervous on who my roommates were going to be, would I get along with them, how are they as a person. When I finally got to meet my roommates I had a feeling from the beginning that we were going to get along just fine. Turns out I was right my roommates here are like my best friends, we always have fun together doing dumb stuff we know we would get in trouble for. While living in the dorms you also meet a lot of new people. You get to know the people who live on your floor or just others who live here too. One of the downsides parts of living on campus is you are away from home. Everyone gets homesick and misses their families, because you are not seeing them everyday like we are used too. I mean at times it is really hard living on campus or really fun; but I would not trade it for anything, I love it.

Intro to Second Semester

This past school week has been crazy. I have been having trouble trying to keep up with my online theater class. Everyday I would have to map out when and for how long I would have to do work for that class. There was even a day when I had to take three quizzes, because I knew I would not have time in the rest of my schedule to work on them. Trying to manage four regular classes and then an online class is really difficult as I have found it. You have to make time in between classes and on the weekends to work on your classwork. It takes me almost a whole day just to read a chapter. Not only do I have to handle making time for school work, I also have to make time for rush events since I am rushing for a sorority. The events are usually at the times when I would usually do homework, but I find it really challenging; because I really want to do this. I have always said as soon as I enter college I am going to join a sorority, and I want to do this now before I regret it later. I do not want to look back at my college years and see that I did not get involved in anything. I want to be involved as much as I can and joining a sorority would be one of the many things I would like to do while I am here at Stan State.
