Why, hello there.
School has started and I'm trying my best to be as focused as I can! I'm taking an Honors course for the first time this semester, and silly me... I thought 'eh, I'm only at community college, how hard can an Honors course be?!' It's not that it's hard, just a TON of work. >.< Not to mention I have a teacher for my Criminology class who isn't full-time staff... and typically when you have one of those, they think their class is the most important and only one that should be taken. *sigh* I have a presentation/ mini research paper due once every three weeks! Who has that time? Honestly. Obviously I have to make that time.
Oh, and when my first presentation kicked absolute butt, I only got a 90%. Which, yanno, is an A, so I don't want to complain... but nothing was written on my papers! So, why did I get 10% of my grade taken off? He basically admitted that because I had gotten the highest grade, he had to take off points somewhere just so I wouldn't get full credit. >.< I have the next two weeks to look forward to because I have a research paper due in BOTH my honors course and this Criminology class. Too much to do in too little/the same amount of time!
On top of that, I worked about 40 hours this week. I'm only supposed to work about 25 hours every 2 weeks, lol. Oh well. While I'm at work, I try to get school work accomplished. It works... somewhat. ;) So I'm just thankful for the paycheck I'll be receiving for this work! :p Everything there is going well. Sometimes I get myself worked up thinking about 'Well, am I doing a good job?!' 'What if someone else is there and they hear me give wrong information or don't know what I'm talking about!?' But those feelings are few and far between now that I've been there for a month and a half. I'm pretty comfortable. I think. :p
What else? Besides "A Thousand Suns"... which my plan is to do a review of sometime soon, lol. We'll see how that goes! :p But, you know what I find funny? When Linkin Park was in the prime of their 'angst' days, they vowed to not use curse words because they didn't want to detract from the overall meaning of the song. But, now, they're (mostly) all married and fathers... and now they find that they need to curse! I'm not complaining, I just find it interesting. ;) Anyway. I may have a crush on a boy in one of my classes. I'm so focused usually I just have never thought of a boy like that. I don't care enough! lol. But apparently now I do? I'm not holding my breath... I'm just mentioning. :) I like this feeling, though!
I've been in a huge Green Day mood lately. Which makes me more bummed out for being sick the day of the show. I keep having to remind myself- I at least made it to the show! Even though I only stayed for about an hour of Green Day, I was there! I just feel like I missed out on such a great show and that I didn't get to enjoy it as much because I was so sick. :( I just miss them, lol. Come backkkkk to meeeee Billie Joeeeeee! hehehe. :p
Getting ready to go to another one of my cousin's weddings. Three of my cousins have gotten married in the last three months! So cute. :)
