My 4th Semester
Wow...two years have passed here at A&M and a lot has changed. I can't beleive its been a year since i signed my first lease and said goodbye to all my dorm/college peeps. Its strange how different i feel about life in general now...and how many things have changed in my life. I often wonder (when i have the time i.e. now)how much ive really changed since graduating high school...and how much more changing i will do between now and when i graduate college. So much has happened in such a short amount of time, but id like to recap some of the big stuff here...and maybe reflect on some of it...
1)Fish Camp: wow what an amazing experience, my first taste of the Aggie spirit, my first college friends and my first college crush...so much excitment packed into those 4 days. I learned what it meant to be an Aggie there and I will always look back on those days as some of the best.
2)Meeting all my crazy awesome college friends!!! Many of them lived not 10ft away from me that first year. I would list yall all here, but it would be an insanely long list and no one would want to read it, so please excuse the fact that u arent specifically mentioned. All of yall have been such inspirations to me in so many different ways. I couldnt have made it thru those first semesters without yall...well lets face it i wouldnt have made it past my first day without yall...yall have been such an unexpected and undeserved blessing and i thank you all!!!
4)Had my first ever rejection in the form of Fish Camp...it was truely heartbreaking...for all those who dont know what i mean, imagine the band hall on the day that everyone finds out what band they made for next year...and then imagine that u dropped a band...its that kind of heartbreak
3) Got my first taste of college classes...and freedom (therefore i didnt always go to classes) and my firs taste of C's and a D...=/
4)Learned that failure can be a usefull teacher and that failure once doesnt mean failure for life.
5)Learned that friends can do some crazy things and that when things arent crazy that doesnt mean that they are boring. ie pond hopping is great fun, but so is sitting on the dorm floor by jess's bed and talking.
6)Lost my grandma and my innocence to death. Not my best moments in life. I cried and slept long hours and stopped caring about anything but my greif for a while. Then i went into a depression for a long time...which leads to #7
7)Had a fight with God...well i dont know if you could call it a fight since it was rather one sided. I raged and cried and begged and questioned and wanted to just give up...but of course He wouldnt let me...and then everything clicked, and everything was ok again...I asked for and recieved forgiveness that i didnt deserve and i came out of it with a stronger faith and a better idea of my feelings about God...
8)Moved into my own apartment with Jess and Heather and Ive had a blast here...we have such random styles and stuff, but it all works to create a home. =))
9)Joined ARC...greatest feeling in the world knowing that i was good enough to make something...ARC has opened my personality up and exposed me to a wide range of ppl and i love them all...this is my organization and i love it...for those who dont know its Aggie Recruitment Committee and we have conferences for high schoolers to come to A&M and see what we are all about...and we also go to high schools to talk about the awesome things that happen here...whoop!!! (ps i LOVE being a DG leader!!!)
10)Took organic chemistry...and actually liked it...i know im weird...but i made it out of there with a B...so hey not too shabby...
11)Got a job at the honey bee lab...it was interesting to say the least, but it definately was nice to have an income.
12)Got a cat!!! Shes a black manx named Sadie and we call her the "cabbit" cuz she acts half cat-half rabbit...seriously she jumps/hops everywhere when shes not flat out running.
13)I was regected from fish camp again...two years in a row of heartbreak and sorrow...plz see previous journals for more...too depressing for here.
13)Whoopin Weekend 05...the most tiring and amazing weekend of my life...i love ARC...
14)I was "offically" asked to be Heathers bridesmaid at her wedding, which now might be a bit sooner than planned =) cuz of jess's brilliant idea!!
15)I made it out of sophmore year alive and no worse for wear as far as i can tell, Now im offically a Junior A-A-A WHOOOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!
There it is folks...and if you made it this far without skipping any of that u get a gold star!!!lol...have a great one everyone!!!
