Huzzah for summer!
But not really because it's going to be filled with work and volleyball and working out. At least, I'm going to try, especially for that last one.
Anyways, finals week was a bitch! I had to do 2 take home finals, and 4 other finals. Gross. The take home finals consisted of 5 essays each, except one of the finals was joke essays, but the other was 5 legitimate essays that had to be 2-3 pages each. Bleh. They took so long. It was for my International Relations class, and I probably would have liked that class better if it hadn't involved so much writing and no tests at all. The other take home was for American Politics. I thought I did pretty well in that class overall, but I still ended up with an A-. What the eff? Those two seemed to be my weakest subjects, telling me that I should never go into political science...ever. I also could never break an A on any of the essays that were written for International Relations. My other finals included the lab exam for Life Science, Life Science, US History, College Writing, and Pre-Calculus. None were overly difficult, which I was grateful for. Although, for College Writing, I went through minor hell; I had to write a 6-8 page research paper along with a bajillion reading responses that I had to print out. Meh. So far, my grade point average is a 3.769, which is the same as last semester. While I would like it to improve, keeping the same gpa when I made myself take 6 classes and a lab is a pretty good feat. I finished my last final at 8:00 on Thursday, and by 3ish, I was on my way home.
Packing was a bitch though. So was loading the car. At least we did it all in one run. I'm glad that my roommate wasn't THAT bad. There were a few instances where I wish I had another roommate, but all in all, it wasn't too bad. She was nice, likable, considerate most of the time, and plus, SHE BROUGHT A KITTEN TO THE DORMS within the last few days of school. Haha. That kitten (Mona) was such a great distraction and the cutest little thing! She was so playful, too. The beds in our dorm were way high up, so I taught her how to climb onto towels/chairs to get onto the beds. I want a kitten when I get older! Except, I'd want it to stay kitten forever. Kittens should be their own separate race actually. Haha.
All in all, my first year of college consisted of volleyball, late nights, watching dramas, school work, procrastination, volleyball, and a kitten.
That's probably all I'll ever remember from it. Sure, I met some people, but not as many as I should have-probably because I didn't live in the freshmen dorms. Oh well. Maybe next year will be better.
Over the summer, I really want to learn how to play piano. I've also decided that at some point, I'd like to take some dance lessons. This stems from watching "So You Think You Can Dance." I think I'd have a problem with "spotting" though. I get dizzy, and although I need practice, I can't spot for the life of me. Haha.
Anyways, I really have to start unpacking soon. Aka, tomorrow. MAKE ME UNPACK!! It'll probably be the only free day I have because I'm starting to work next week. Ugh.
And I really need a car. Peter's a gay douchebag because I told him not to drive the car to school at the beginning of the year-because then he'd have to pay for parking. But he did it anyway, and now he "wants to get his money worth." So now I'm stuck with no car, especially since I already need one. I have to meet Coach next Tuesday or Wednesday to sign my contract and have a meeting with her. Sigh...why does life have to be so complicated? On that note, please someone, help me stop being so gullible or help me learn how to say no. So far, I'm pretty sure I've been scammed twice. One by my own fucking Bank of America and the other by this magazine company. No details. Just know that I'm dumb.
Other than the busy-ness, I'm looking forward to the summer and sleeping whenever and watching movies and hanging out with friends. Too bad it'll be cut short when I have to return to school in the middle of August for volleyball. Haha. Each time I try to end this entry, I end up ending it on a bad note. Pre-season fills me with anxiety whenever I think about it. Gr.
Summer, help me relax. Okay, I'm ending it now before more negative thoughts fill my head! Bye!
