Update time!
So...life recap. Ready, go!
School: Stressful. Kind of good because I like to be busy...but next semester I'll lay off a bit. Starting with the good classes, english is a cake walk. As long as you turn in every piece of homework, you get an A. All I have to do is do it. Easy. My comm class is really interesting. I'm learning a lot and I really like Marty Most. He is a really good teacher. The midterm exam is Thursday, it's only 30 questions, so I really have to know my shit. I haven't studied very much, but I remember a lot of the material we have covered. I want to ace the exam...my quizzes are about mid B range...but I think I have a chance to bring it up with the midterm. Chem: Strange because I hated it in high school, but I like it in college. My lab instructor is one of the coolest guys in the world. He's really laid back and puts up with all of my questions. :) Tests and quizzes are mid B range again...but my lab is worth 20% of the final grade and in that I will get an A. Plus there are 2 more exams and the final. Only 5 more labs left! Yes! Physics...lecture is a bitch. I HATE my prof. He is just terrible. I've made a habit of only coming to one of three classes each week, but I'm working on not skipping so much. The first exam was bad...but I passed with the curve (barely) and the quiz...was a lot better except that I mixed up sine and cosine. WHO DOES THAT?!?! I don't know my grade on the quiz, but I know it was way better than my exam. The next exam is Friday and with Kellen's help, I think I'll do a lot better. The last exam was full of tricky questions and conceptual stuff which I wasn't ready for, so hopefully, this exam will go a lot better. My worst class is math. Go figure. College math is just not clicking for me. I have a low D right now. Not good. I figure if I keep turning in all of my homework on time and get at least 60% on the next 2 exams and the final, I can get a C. That is all I want. Just a C. Isn't this just an echo of last semester? :) I really wish that there were a bigger curve in my math class. That bums me out. Oh well...
Next semester: I'm looking to take 18 credits which is a little bit easier...but still kinda pushing it. I'm expecting to take com 101: beginning speech (easy A), econ 201: macroeconomics (easy A hopefully), psyc 261: human sexuality (gotta keep me entertained), physics 212 and the lab (which will suck because I will have the same professor I have this semester), and math 275: calc 3 (which will be hard...and I've heard some bad and some good things about the professor so I'm a bit scared) ... I'm liking the times and stuff...I just hope I can get into all the sections that I want to!
Next year: Well, I'm looking into transfering once again. Purdue isn't going to work out for me which might be for the better. It was so weird to have 2 seperate lives divided by 2000 miles. My life is here in Idaho. It's where everyone I care about lives including my friends and my family. I wanted to start over and I did. I got what I wanted it and it worked out really well, but it's not what I want for my life. So, I'm transfering to UI next fall. It'll be better for my major and a lot of my friends are going there. It'll be a good time.
Friends: Great. I'm getting along with everyone, which is the best thing ever. I really amazed that I'm keeping in contact with the majority of them. When I left for college last year, I just quit talking to them all together. It made leaving easier...but adjusting to a new life harder and coming home a bit worse. Oh well. Things are good now, which is all that matters I guess.
Family: I was on really good terms with my dad, but about a month or so ago we just stopped talking. Really strange after thinking about it...I feel kind of bad that I don't make time for him in my busy life, but I don't feel obligated to after everything that happened last year. Sometimes I think it's better without him, but then I feel horrible for even thinking that about my father. I think it's better if I just don't think about him at all. My mom, my sister, and my bro in law are awesome and they are doing great. I miss Sharon, Skip, and B terribly, but I will see them soon.
The boyfriend: :) It's perfect. I couldn't ask for anything better. He's really good to me and super sweet which is so unlike him, it only makes it better that he's like that to me. He makes me feel special and protected and I love him more than how I can express in actions or words. I've never been this content with my life.
Overall...it's really good. :)
