Today is my first day in this class and have already been
late. Well not terribly late just about 3 or 4 minutes. I was stuck on that bus
for lord knows how long. I really was frustrated. I guess that's a learning
experience, i just have to leave home earlier that's all. I'm so happy that we
get to have journal time. I love this. Just time set aside for me to let out
all my thoughts. I kind of feel like Jena from the show Awkward. She was always
blogging or writing about what was going on in her life. It was lovely. I feel
like I am Jena sometimes. ( sometimes) lol because she started to be a little
wild thing in the last season I watched. But I feel like I'm like her because
she likes to write out her feelings. One thing that I've learned about people
in general is that we need ways to let out our true feelings, in a healthy way.
I know most people hate to write but there is different ways for them to let
out their true feelings. But me personally, as I've gotten older I realize that
writing can be very relaxing. Well except when your hands start to knot up. But
to be able just to write how you feel is lovely. I feel that writing is a
positive outlet to let out any negative or bad vibes in your life. That's
another reason I want to be a teacher, hopefully a creative Writing teacher, Or
English. But mainly creative writing because I want to show our youth how you
can express yourself without being so violent. Nowadays all you here about is
bad and killing and to think all of that could have been avoided if they just
talked about it to someone or if they didn't want anyone to know they could
have sat down and released their anger by writing. At least that's how I see
it. I guess I live in my own little perfect world sometimes were I have a
positive solution for everything. But I have also learned that people don't
like to be happy. Strangely put, but it's true. I am truly convenced that some
people don't like joy so they tear everyone else down. See those type of
people, I cant be bothered with. Just not my crowd.
Well hello world, I guess you can say these past two days
have been crazy. I didn't realize how much work 18 hrs can come with. I don't
want to complain though because this is school and with school comes work. I
try to wake up every morning with a positive outlook and open mind. I find that
it helps me during the day. I was so tired last night, first of all I had a
meeting to go to at 6:00 and then the wasn't over until 7 ish, so after that I
realized I had a lot of work that needed to be done. So I was up until 12
trying to finish that. Thankfully I got all my work done. The only class that
I'm really worried about is Spanish, all of my other classes just have a great
deal of reading so I just have to discipline myself for that. Other than that I
hope and pray this semester goes well. I might even take my last Spanish class
over the summer just so I can get it over with. I really just want to get it
over with. Oh yeah and another thing, I changed my major back to Creative
Writing yesterday. I realized that teaching children probably isn't something
that I'd enjoy. I'm really happy I took this EDCI class because my teacher
really keeps it real. She speaks the truth about teaching. I decided to stick
with my first mind and not to keep changing things. Once I realized that I was
just stressing myself out more, thinking about a job and how my major was going
to support me in life, I forgot that I have to work hard and get out of college
first. Well, this isn't really even a question. I know and will be graduating
from college and that's final.
Well today is another day, A day a day a day. It
was actually pretty funny I thought I didn't have class today, that would have
been a real heart breaker to say that I woke up so early and everything. But
the time wouldn't have gone to waste. I probably would have been in the library
somewhere doing homework. I hope today is a good day. I hope. I feel like this
semester is going to be very crazy. With these 18 hours I'm taking to all the
activities I'm involved in. Its crazyyyy. But I have hope in myself and this is
a trial run to see how well I could do. I have never carried 18 hours in
college before so now I think this would be a pretty good learning experience.
I guess the way I thought about it was that in high school we all take up to
6-8 classes anyway so why not give in a whirl in college. However the work in
college and in high is completely different. But anyway, moving on to other
things. I will be going home this weekend and I won't be returning until
Tuesday. I have an education course and I have to observe at my old high school.
I think I'm going to observe two English teachers because I love the subject so
much. Is it crazy that I'e been practicing conversation so if my old teachers
ask my questions I can respond. lol Yeah that's kind of funny. But it's always
good to be prepared. Plus the way some of my old teachers act they like to be
all in your business. People were so proud of my class 2012. I think our class
had the most people to go to college ( I don't know if that's true or not I
just said it). I just love how my professor plays nice classical and soothing
music in the morning. (and it's funny because he just said something about it).
I have to go to target today after class ( secret business lol) You know, I've
been living by a motto lately.... lol I guess I'll have to save that for next
class
February 6 2014, 9:09 AM
Well hello private journal, today is an interesting day.
Today is our first "online class." I guess this is cool. I didn't
really have to wake up too early to get on the bus and everything. Its
relaxing. I'm happy today is Thursday because it's one step closer to Friday.
I'm going home this weekend and I already know it's going to be crazy. And then
on Monday I won't even be coming to campus because I have an observation that
I'm doing at my old high school. Ugh, I still need to find something to wear.
Well whatever, these 18 hours I've been taking have been no joke. It's only the
third week of school and I'm already starting to feel the pressure. I was thinking
about taking summer courses but now that I think about it, Nah. I'm really
going to need a break after this. I hope this work load doesn't become over
bearing because I'm not trying to have a breakdown or anything. But I don't
think I would though. I'm strong and educated and I know that I can make it
through this time.

Hello self, How are you feeling? I guess I'm doing the best
I can. I never like to complain. I missed my Monday classes yesterday because I
did observations at my old high school. Many of the teachers were so happy to
see me and so was I. It always feels good to visit some place and be remembered
in a positive way. I guess I'm as content as I can be. I just want to make this
semester a good one. I don't know why but I kind of wish it could be Christmas
again. That was so great.
Well hello, Today is an online class day. I just joined the
chat room, but it's not letting me see the podcast or whatever. I am so tired
right now. Now I have to respond to Chapter 7&8. Oh my gosh, I just want to
go back to sleep. And I have a 12:00 today, so maybe at 10:15 I'll start
getting ready. Ughhhhh, I just want to sleep. As you can tell journal, I'm not
a morning person at all. Plus I"m going to be on campus until about 6:30
because I have a Leadership Exchange meeting to go to. So I need more sleep :/

Hello private journal, I was late for class today. Oh joy! I
really hate being late for class, but I didn't set an alarm clock then I was
taking my time to get ready. Argh, I just wish this semester could be over
with. People think it's funny that I've already started the countdown. I think
we have like nine weeks left. Yes lord! I really wish that I had a time machine
sometimes. Well sometimes. Not all the time, I just want to... I don't know. I
really don't know what I'm going to do with this Spanish class, but I'll figure
something out.
February 20 2014, 9:10 AM
Well, hello an happy Thursday. At least I wish it was happy
for me but I'm not feeling well. sad
Today is another online class, hopefully I get it right this time. I need to
get ready for class while I'm doing this because if I stay in my bed to long
I'm not going to feel like going to class. Ugh. I'm still trying to decide if I
should go home this weekend. I don't know. And then on top of that Mardi Gras
is next weekend so I'll be home anyways. I really love when we have breaks,
it's the best relaxation of all. I really can't wait until it's all over with
because I can't wait for the summer. I really love the summer, it's my favorite
time of year. I just hope this semester goes by swiftly so I can enjoy my
wonderful summer. And the weather is beginning to change, that's cool. I guess
it's time to pack up our boots, scarfs, and overcoats. But knowing the south,
the cold is not gone completely. I hate that the weather is so tricky down
here. You'll think I'd be use to it since I been in the south my whole life.
February
25 2014, 9:15 AM
I just typed a whole spill about what's been going on in my
life and this thing erased all of it. So yeah, I'm not worried about this
private journal today!
February
27 2014, 9:14 AM
Hello there again, I won't make the same mistake I did last
period. You know when I typed up a whole story about my feelings and emotions.
and it didn't even submit. But instead it deleted all my work sad. Well today I
won't make that mistake, instead I'll wait until most of the class has
submitted their work and I'll submit mine. So today I have a very important
meeting, today may be the day that I finally drop this Spanish class. No not
may, will. I can't take anything bringing down my GPA right now. Plus I can't
really focus on it like I want to. Then on top of that my last two Spanish
teachers didn't really grade as hard and I had some wiggle room. Yes, I
understand that this is college, but OMG. I just couldn't take it. And I'd
usually have a buddy or something in my class to kind of help me out but nope,
not in this one. I just didn't like the vibe in the classroom. Granted I did
have a great teacher but her humor only went so far with me.
March 6 2014, 9:19 AM
Hello there, today I was late to class. Blah. I walked in
while they were playing the name game lol. But so far I can't complain about my
morning, I guess I just woke up late. But today were talking more about
Strickland, plus we're going to get into our groups. YAY. Hopefully today is
eventful :)
March 11 2014, 9:13 AM
Well this week is midterm week :/ blah. I've had so form of
assessment or paper like that in four out of five of my classes. Today I turn
in my blog for this class. I hope that its okay and I set up everything
correctly. I tried to put a creative spin on it, plus I hadn't been on blogger
for almost two years so I was trying to get the hang of everything. Okay well
moving on. Tomorrow I have two midterms, Education and English 2025. I think
they'll probably be straight forward. I'm just going to go over all my
materials until tomorrow and hopefully I come out successful. And then the
thing about the English exam is that it's two parts. One tomorrow and the other
Friday. Ugh. Well I guess that's kind of cool. At least I know I'll have enough
time to finish. I'm not really stressing over these exams because I realized
when I'm studying something interesting or something I really like I tend to
bare it and get through it. I just hope everything works out. So this is my
only class today and I leave here at 10:20 so that means I literally have the
whole day to myself, but I'm leaving off campus because the forecast said it's
suppose to rain today, and I don't want that. So instead of studying in the
library I'll just study in my room. I'm trying to decide what I want for lunch
today. Decisions decisions. I have no idea. I think I may go to the union and
make a salad. Yeah, and buy some fruits. I've been trying to eat a little
healthier lol. My stomach actually hurts right now, I didn't have time to eat
breakfast. NOOOOO!!!!
March 13 2014, 9:30 AM
Hello journal, today is an online session. I actually just
woke up and I'm starting off late :/ yikessssss!!!!
March 18 2014, 9:14 AM
Well today starts another week in this class, only 6 left.
I'm really excited about the end of the semester. I like school and all but I
really can't wait until summer time. Last night was crazy. It was my friends
birthday and we had a little party or whatever at our apartment. I must say
that I am very pleased with myself that I woke up on time for this class
knowing that I was pretty drunk last night. lol It was a cool kind of drunk. I
could control myself but my head was still spinning like crazy. Plus I woke up
with a headache. AHHH, and the sunlight hurts my eyes. Like once I walked out
the door this morning I was so ready to turn back around and just go to sleep.
But no I didn't. I'm really serious this semester about getting my 4.0, all As
baby. Hopefully this happens for me.
March 20 2014, 9:08 AM
Hello Hello, I'm surprised that I so awake right now. I
stayed up until 2:40 trying to finish my annotated bib for English 2000. Blah.
I have no comment on that one. I'll be going back and forth trying to finish
that up. I'm so happy that class is online today because I'd probably wouldn't
have made it to campus this morning. I just had too much crap to do this
morning and it's only 9:05. I'm just happy it's almost the weekend and I can
get a break. OMG, I love the weekends so much. Thank you Lord so much for
having them. To say that my midterms were last week I'm feeling so drained this
week. I guess it's post midterm syndrome. lol I just don't feel like doing
anything. Hopefully these last six weeks fly by. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.
March 25 2014, 9:13 AM
Well hello there once again. I'm trying to stay as positive
as possible because my mouth hurts so bad! I can't believe it, it hurts to or
chew or even speak sad. I have the worst sore that anyone could have I think I
bit the inside of my mouth and now it hurts like hell. I realized I get relief
if I just don't speak. So that's what I'll do, stay silent unless I HAVE to
speak. Other than that you won't hear a peep out of me today. I'm happy I made
it to class on time. I hate being late to class. You never know what you could
have missed or some important information could have been given out. Anyway, my
grades are looking very nice right now. I must say that I am proud of all my
hard work. Hopefully I get a 4.0. If I do I'll be the happiest girl in the
world. Because this would be the first time in life, that I'd get all A's. My
mother always says you speak things into existence ( I been speaking a whole
lot about these grades lol). I actually can't wait to go back home. Not that I
don;t like Baton Rouge, but it's just something different about being at home
that I love so much. It's crazy I was never the type of child to complain and
make a big deal about wanting to get out of my parents house. My parents are
pretty chilled and relaxed. Well, I can't lie, when I was in high school I did
want to gtf because parents will be parents. But other than that it was pretty
calm in my household. My parents stressed doing well in school and being the
best person you can be and that's why I love them so. Smile
March 27 2014, 9:12 AM
Hello once again on this wonderful Thursday morning. I really
didn't want to get out of bed this morning. I was just too tired. Well, today
is going to be a really lonnggggg day. Why? because I have to stay on campus to
see this play, and it starts at 7:30. I may just run back to my apartment after
my last class and chill then get back on the bus at 5. I'm not sure yet. But
one good thing about staying on campus is that I get to sit in the library and
read my book for my English 2025 class. So yeah, isn't that always fun. Well, I
still need to get my classes for the Fall together. I need to take these last
two Spanish classes. I was thinking about taking them online. But I haven't
seen if it's in session or not. I'm probably going to make an appointment with
my advisor at the beginning of April. I'm not quite sure yet. Yesssss, Omg.
Here we go again is playing By Ray Charles right now in class. Love this song.
But anyway, I'm excited about Spring Break and going home next weekend. I
haven't been home since Mardi Gras, lol Granted that has only been 3 weeks, but
still I like going home and being around my peeps. lol. I also have this
painful tooth ache that hopefully I can get checked out when I go back home
because chile, this crap hurts!!!!!!
April 1 2014, 9:15 AM
Happy April FOOLS day! Well hopefully I don't get fooled or
anything. Lol . I'm late today, blah. I was actually dong pretty good with
being on time. I don't know what happened this morning. I was just too tired.
Oh well, I'm up and alive now. So happy that the end of the semester is coming
to an end. So ready for my summer vacation. I really hope I get a job this
summer, I need some extra mula. I really hope I can find some type of job
because last summer I literally sat in the house all day not doing nothing and
I must say it was horrible. Okay teacher is starting to teach now. Lol
April 3 2014, 9:10 AM
Hello there, today I'm coming to you live from
my bedroom lol. I misread whether today was a online class or not so I just
stayed home because my 12:00 class was cancelled today and I don't have another
class until 1:30. I really didn't want to be sitting around campus all day.
This is the first class that I've missed for 3301 hopefully it doesn't effect
my grade. I'm so happy today is Thursday. I'm really ready for this week to be
over with. And I'm super happy because I get to go home this weekend smile. I
haven't been home in almost a month. This is very rare for me lol. I usually go
home every weekend. Blah. And I have to start looking at what classes I need to
schedule. I really really really don't want any classes this early. But then I
don't want classes on Mondays and Fridays either lol. I'm too picky right, well
I know. It's just certain times that I refuse to get up for class. It's funny
because high school started at 7;30 everyday and I just woke up with no problem
( well sometimes). I guess times have changed
April 8 2014, 9:12 AM
Well today is a new day. Yes it surely is. Okay let me go
over what I have to do today. After this class I'm going in the library and
review Romeo and Juliet. I wanted to watch the movie lastnight but I couldn't
find it online anywhere. UGH. But I feel that there's not much for me to really
review. See, we have a quiz today in Theatre on the play Romeo and Juliet. just feel that I already pretty much have a
good grasp on it. I don't know I'll still look over it. After that i'm going to
read a little of my book. I have to be finished with chapter 8 by Friday. And
then after that I have office hours with my teacher to discuss my final paper.
Hopefully that goes well. Then after that it's back to the berry and finish up
some work. Finally, at 1:30 I have my last class which is Theatre. From there
I'll get me some food and high tail it back to my apartment. And that's my
whole day in a nutshell. I like talking out my schedule because it helps see
what I have to do that day. I just like being organized. It really helps in the
long run.
April 10 2014, 9:12 AM
Happy Thursday!!! You know what that means, one more step
closer to Friday. Okay let me run down what I have to do today. After this
class, I'm going to the library and read the Chapter that we're going over
today in class. After that I have English 2000, and we're peer reviewing each
others papers today. BLAH blah blah. I don't like peer reviewing that much
because the teacher is the one who has to grade my paper. Not my peers lol. But
I guess it's cool to get other peoples input on certain things. And then after
that class I have Theatre, she said we have a guest speaker today so I wonder
if she's still going to try and give us a quiz.... I hope not. UGH, but so far
I can say her quizzes haven't been that bad. I think she just uses them for
attendance. So yeah. After that class I plan to get some food then go to the
nail shop. I really want to get my nails done. And when I say done I don't mean
the fake nails and all that. I just like to get them painted. They do such a
good job and it's only 6 bucks. Plus I have two interviews coming up and I
really want to look nice smile
April 22 2014, 9:12 AM
Well well well, looks like I'm back in action. We only have
two more physical class periods in this class and the other two are online. I
really like this class but I'm happy that I don't have to wake up so early for
this class anymore. Thank you!!!! Well I'm pretty happy for summer, I mean who
wouldn't be. I love summer, I love that I have a break from intense work and I
can just chill. However, I do have an internship with a magazine and I will be
writing a little. I don't think it will be that bad for me. I think I might
actually enjoy it. Whelp. if I don't I'm not getting paid anyways soooo. LOL.
Okay, class is about to start. Peace
April 29 2014, 9:48 AM
Blahhhh, I was so late for class today. This is truly sad, I
woke up this morning feeling horrible and I didn't want to come to class, but I
couldn't do that. This is the last official day of this class and I felt that I
had to be here. Well, this class has been cool, but I won't miss waking up this
early. lol
