Un bel di vedremo...
Alright--so right now, I am feeling very relieved. Why? Because I'm now done with my first two college exams. They were BOTH today. Needless to say this past weekend and Monday, I studied a lot. Therefore, I was semi-stressed out. But not really. I made myself stay calm. No reason to stress over tests--it only makes it worse. My brother, the one who is working on his Masters in Psychology, gave me that advice. I think it helped. It only makes sense! If you stress out while you study, your memory doesn't function well. Therefore, you won't remember much. But if you keep calm and breathe, you'll remember the stuff better. And I think it worked. My Observing the Learner (the education class) test went relatively well, I think. I really think I did well on it. (Now that I said that, I probably failed.) My Intro to Poetry test, however, err...I think I did okay. Not the best ever, but hey, I did my best. That's all I can do. I'm really not worried about the grades. I'm in college to get my education, not to stress out over what letter grade I might get. I did that enough in high school. Time will tell if the new approach works...
Let's see. Not much else has been going around here besides classes and studying. Oh! This past weekend, I went home, unexpectedly. It was CRAZY around here, due to guy's Bid Day (where new pledges are recognized for/by each fraternity). Needless to say there were many a drunk people, and lots, and lots, and lots of parties. It was Saturday afternoon, I hadn't gotten much work accomplished. I then decided on a whim to go home, in hopes of getting more work done away from the ridiculousness that had plagued the campus. I think it helped some, but I was terribly homesick. Okay, so I realize that didn't make much since--being homesick at home. But I was, because my parents were gone in Wisconsin, and I had the house to myself. It was a strange feeling, and made me miss being home WITH my parents. Luckily, this weekend + Monday/Tuesday is Fall Break, so I'll get my chance then. :D
Okay, so there must be a soccer game this evening or something. Because all of the soccer players on the hall are jamming up their music and running up and down the halls. And banging on my door, causing me to answer it. Then they disappear. Then it happens again. And I fall for it. But now things are calming down. Soccer players here tend to be of an odd breed...
I don't have much homework to do this evening, and for this I am glad. It's nice being able to relax a little bit, now that the tests are over. I have a Music Theory test this Friday, though, but I'm not too overly concerned about it. I feel pretty comfortable with the material actually. I'm going to a tuba faculty recital tonight. I have to go to so many recitals/concerts a semester for my music education major. (That is, assuming I major in music education, which I highly plan on doing.) There was a piano recital last night that I heard was AWESOME and that I wanted to go to, but I had so much studying that I decided I better wait and just go to the one tonight. I think I'll enjoy it. Ooh, and there's a Bible Study tonight! I'm looking forward to it--it's the freshmen guy's Bible study sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ. It should be good! Maybe I'll get to go to bed a little early tonight! :) OR! I might get to watch a movie! Yay for Disney movies! :D I'm in a "Pocahontas" mood. I think I'll have to put that on my agenda for the night. *makes a mental note*
My roommate joined a fraternity. woo. Can't you see that I am thrilled? :/ He's overly thrilled about it. Which kind of freaks me out at times, but yeah. Oh, my roommate, you ask? Well. Hmm. That's another story. Which I won't go into.
Well, I guess that about covers it. And I guess I should start on the little bit of homework that I have. I know I sure won't feel like doing much of it later tonight.
