TV Premiere Week

This week has been busy, two quizzes and a test. But this is also the week that I wait all summer for. TV shows are returning with new episodes. So far I have watched How I Met Your Mother, NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, Parenthood, Bones, and Modern Family. As I write this I am patiently waiting for Grey's Anatomy to start. While I do not always have time to watch my favorite tv shows I enjoy knowing that if I want to watch them that there are new episodes available for me to watch. I still will make school my priority and only fit in tv when I can but I still love new tv. And this weekend I might try out some new tv series to pick out something new for the year.

Volunteering

Today was an amazing day. I volunteered for 7 hours for the Harvest Gala. The Harvest Gala raises money for patients at Altru. This year they were raising money for their program H.A.R.P. This is a program for patients on renal dialysis. I feel very fortunate that I was able to volunteer for this and this program specifically. Renal dialysis is something that hits close to home and I understand what the patients are going through and the effects it has on not only the person on dialysis but their families as well. I am glad to say that I spent 7 hours volunteering but I am glad to say that I volunteered at an event that was raising money for dialysis patients. This volunteering made me think alot about my dad and how he continues to live his life on dialysis. I really love my dad and I'm glad that I was able to do something that supports people like him on dialysis.

Friday Night My Way

Well Friday is by far my favorite day of the week. I only have one class. It is before lunch and I don't need to wake up before 10. And the best part of all when I get out of class at 11:50 I am free from class until 11 AM Monday. Friday is a happy day, I may be exhausted from the week of classes and homework but I seem to be able to stay up late come Friday night. On a usual Friday night I would be watching movies more than likely it would of been a disney movie. But tonight was different. Tonight our school was hosting 3 comedians and I went. They were hilarious. But I pretty sure next weekend will be back to movie night.

The good old days

I will admit that sometimes I wish I was in Kindergarten again. When school was not time consuming, there was nap time and the main objective was to have fun while learning. Unfortunately for me I am a college student. The only similarity that college and kindergarten have in common is that nap time is a must. School work is time consuming and difficult. Most of the time I really enjoy the work that is needed to put into classes but sometimes there are days like today that I would have prefered to stay in bed instead of going to my 7:30 AM anatomy lab. I think today being in kindergarten again would have been ideal. I would have enjoyed learning while have fun, the fun usually involved coloring and playing games (two things I happen to excel in). While today I wish I was a kindergartener, tomorrow I will be glad that I am a college student. It is nice to imagine being little every once in a while.

Classes, Classes and more Classes

Classes are now in full swing. The first set of of tests are either done or coming up within the next week. I thoroughly enjoy class only because it keeps me busy. I not the biggest fan of tests and homework but it is something to do. What really keeps me going during the long days of class is my sorority they are what keep me going when classes are bringing me down. It doesnt get me down very often but when they do, I have people to cheer me back up.

Time for classes

Tomorrow is the day. The day that classes start. It is very exciting. Am I ready for the work that comes with classes? I am not 100% sure but I am ready to have stuff to do but not ready for the tests that come along with the classes. As of right now I am down to only 12 hours until Anatomy starts. Hopefully tomorrow will go well and the day after that and the day after that.

SUMMER

Summer break is going by oh so fast. It's halfway done and soon I will be going back to school. I am ready to go back so I can see my friends again but I am not ready for the school work and late night studying. July means that soon it will be time to go to the cabin and I cannot wait. A whole week at the lake with the family.

How fast the year went...

I can not believe that it is almost time to go home for the summer. This semester has been really crazy and extremely busy. But next week at this time I will be home. My room is almost all packed. One final to study for and the worst part is going to be saying goodbye to my friends. But next year I will be at Pi Phi once again having a great time.

Late nights, early mornings, and lots of naps

It seems when your in college you stay up way too late and get up way too early. Especially lately. So when you just are too tired to keep going you turn to one of my favorite past times as a kid, and no it is not throwing eggs at the wall but taking a nap. Somedays 2 naps are necessary like today. But school is challenging so it is a good thing that naps are able to make their way into my very hectic life.

Lightening the Load

For the past couple of days I had been contemplating dropping 2 of my classes so that I could focus on Anatomy and my other 2 classes that I am also taking. After much thought and talking to my mommy, I decided that it would be in my best interest this semester to drop down to 12 credits. I feel that anatomy should really be my main focus because if I can put the amount of time I want to I will be able to get the grade that I want. But if I had stayed in chem and social problems I do not think I would of been able to put all the effort I want into anatomy because I would struggle through chem and would spend many hours worrying about that class instead of studying for my other classes.

First Week Down

Well the first week has come and gone. It went well for the most part. I am back to the same routine for the most part. Chem is already kicking my butt in. Hockey was alot of fun this weekend. The guys team beat the gophers friday and we just won't talk about saturday. And sunday the girl's team beat wisconsin in a shootout. That was by far one of the best games I have been to this year. Hopefully as the year continues on I will find that chem gets easier but I really doubt that.

Grand Forks...Here I Come

Well my 3 week break is offically ending and I will be heading back to Grand Forks today. It went way too fast. I love being home but being at school is good too. One good thing about going to school is that Jessica will just be on the other side of the wall to hang with and not an hour and a half away. Plus I am excited to see everyone at Pi Phi again. But I will miss seeing my mommy and rest of the family. And seeing Kennedy hockey, even though we aren't the best the games are still fun. So goodbye Bloomington, hello Grand Forks.
