College Commences

Hey Everyone!

I'm currently listening to Chinese by Lily Allen.

I am so sorry that I haven't been blogging as I should be. But I am so super busy with college. I am taking a full course load, 6 classes. Monday started my first class, psych is first. I got to school early and found the class and had some time to walk around. I read a bit too once I found a place I liked to sit. I finally went into class and knew immediately I would like the class. I adore my teacher. We have to do a research paper and I already know what I want to write about. The large topic, not my thesis. There is an extra credit option to blog about psych topics. I love blogging [surprise, surprise!] so I am totally going to do it. The people in that class seem interesting. I can't wait to go back!!! I am positive that this teacher will get a nickname, but I am undecided about it. So stick with this, and you'll get a nickname.

Next class on Monday was an evening class [7 pm], Western Civ. *shudders* The teacher is really dry. My classmates seem to be... unique. As much as I think this class is going to be difficult, I also think that it'll be a good challenge. I am naming this teacher, Jock. Now, I am actually going to tell you the reason behind this nickname. He looks like the character Jock from Lady and the Tramp. Only not cute. But tired. Yep.

Then Tuesday I had my EDUCATION class!!!!!!!! I am soooooooo excited about this class. The projects are amazing and I get to observe in a classroom!!! I like the teacher, her ideals [what I've heard so far] match mine pretty well. I like her approach. I just like the class. I had to make a storybook for this class. It was fun, but time consuming. I wanted to give it my all though because I want to give a good impression.

After ed, I have film. I like the teacher [again].

Okay... yeah... so I wrote that a while ago and I'm not going to finish it. So... yep.

Nerves

Hey Everyone!

I'm currently listening to Poker Face by Lady GaGa.

School starts tomorrow. I am really excited. I already know that I am going to stop at Starbucks and get a Chai Tea Latte [I love them! They are my new favorite thing thanks to Sky] before class. I am worried. Well, not worried, but definitely a little nervous. I always get nervous before the first day of school, but this is even bigger, this is college. It is a whole new arena. I am very excited. I already figured out where the wifi areas are so I can talk during my free periods. Although Monday I don't have any... Just 15 minutes between classes. Although I don't know if I am going to bring it my first week... We'll see. I think I'll make that determination tomorrow. I might want to bring it on Tues/Thurs for my downtime. I have over two hours free each day.

I am very excited. This is a new chapter in my life and I cannot wait for it to begin. I love school and can't wait to start back up.

Here comes college

Hey Everyone!

I'm currently listening to Only Hope by Mandy Moore

It is so weird, everyone is going away to college. I log onto facebook and I see all the status messages and I can't help but to feel a little sad. Not because of the people, but because, well, I feel like I am missing out. I know to stay at home was my decision, but it sorta sucks at the same time. I think even more because my home environment is a bit stressful. I know that I am going to love my experience to, and when I do finally make the jump to the four year school, I will be ready for it. *shrugs* I might try and transfer before I get the associate's degree. I might just get 54 credits then transfer. I could do that then start in the Fall semester next year. Who knows. It is something I really need to think about. I need scholarship money. So I reaaaaaally need to start looking at that. I am definitely going to be going in the city. I love the city, so I don't see a reason not to go there. *fingers crossed* I am looking forward to Monday. I promise I will blog all about it!!

You may pack your knives and leave.

Hey Everyone!

I'm currently watching Top Chef season 5.

The Bravo channel is having a marathon of Top Chef season 5 today. I love Top Chef. Even though I know the winner and the such, but it is just a good show. I am recording and watching them today. That's another thing, I love the DVR. I never watch anything on tv anymore in real time. I always start about 15 or 30 late if I am watching same night.

Anyway, back on topic. Top Chef. I adore the show. Last night was the first episode of season 6, Kevin won the first elimination challenge. In the majority of past seasons, the first elimination challenge was the overall winner. I am interested to see if that is continued in this season.

Titanic

Hey Everyone!

I'm currently listening to Dickhead by Kate Nash.

Tonight is a titanic disappointment. Okay, not really. When I am in a sad mood I watch Titanic and cry and feel all better by the time that it ends. Don't ask why, it just is. Well, the other day I bought some mascara and decided I wanted to test out if it streaks. So today, I thought, what better way to do that then to put on Titanic?

The movie came on, and nothing. Not its usual effect. I think it is because I am so darn happy! Sky has put this happy spell over me. I even was disinterested in the movie. *shocked face* I mean, it's TITANIC!!!! How can you be disinterested??? But I was. So now I am wearing mascara and unable to cry. All thanks to Sky. Making me all cry resistant.

:-P

Hindsight is 20/20

Hey Everyone!

I'm currently listening to Battlefield by Jordin Sparks.

Have I told you all how much I love Sky? Because I do. It's his birthday tomorrow... I wish I was there to celebrate with him. But I am doing what I can. I feel really shitty about his presents because I made sure to think about what I got him and everything, then WHAM, I was careless about the shipping and such. So the presents will not get there until Thurs or Fri. :( It makes me feel really sad and really stupid. I wish that I put as much thought into the shipping as I did the actual presents. I know he says that it is the thought that counts, but I still feel really bad.

My stomach is killing me. I ate some bread with peppercorn in it, and I feel sick. I don't think the bread is good, I just bought the darn loaf!!! Grrrrr... I need money... I am buying shoes tomorrow. They are these great wedges. I am stoked.

Sky's Words

Hey Everyone!

I'm currently listening to Battlefield by Jordan Sparks.

So, I am blogging once again... I have been told that apparently I am a blog-a-holic. I do not mind. I like writing. I think I need to keep in mind though that my frequency is rarely matched. I need to remember that I cannot get upset when someone doesn't blog as often as I do, because not too many people do.

But that was not the topic of this blog. Sky is fantastic, as you all know, but he is great with making me feel good. If I am having a rough day, which I have had a few of over the past couple of weeks, he knows just how to get me through it. If I am sad and missing him, he knows exactly what to say. It is like he can get into my mind and find exactly what I need to hear, because it is not all the same. He is amazing. Just plainly amazing.

I love him so much. I know right now these issues with my family are not the greatest thing, but I think in a weird way, it has made me feel closer to him. I know that he is in this, I have seen that a thousand times over. I am so lucky. I am done letting what anyone says bother me. I haven't let it bring me down, but I have let it hurt, and I am done. I know what I am doing is what is right for me. Everyone else can learn to deal.

Tingly Toes

Hey Everyone!

I'm currently listening to Sweet Dreams by Beyonce.

I am going shopping tonight. With my mom. It is a specific night for us to talk and the such. I am going to get all dressed up and do my hair. I am excited about it. I like shopping. I have some things that I need to shop for. :D

School Update

Hey Everyone!

I'm currently listening to Rebel Yell by Billy Idol.

Just a quick little sentence about that song, I love it. It pretty much is awesome.

I am no longer in my evolution class with Twin. I dropped it in favor of an education class. It works better for me this way. It is definitely a better class for me in the long run. Twin and I had some small issues that stemmed from some miscommunication. I am just not a person who likes to deal with drama and the such, so I opted not to even have a small chance of having an issue in class. I take my schooling very seriously and I don't need anything to obstruct from me getting the best education possible. Just an update.

Changes.

Hey Everyone!

I'm currently listening to Don't Trust Me by 3 Oh! 3.

I had a bit of a brain meltdown about what to blog about. Sky ushered me to mindbump.com. It is a bunch of blog prompts. So, I refreshed a few times before coming to one that I thought would fit.

“How have your writing skills changed since you started blogging?”

I have been thinking about this a lot lately. My first blog post here as Soul was definitely much different than how they are now. My voice here differs even from this blog to my "naughty blog". I wrote my first blog as Soul on April 3, 2008. That blows my mind. I think that my writing style has progressed into a more mature voice. However I think that my interest in this has at times decreased and increased in certain moments. I think that comes through in my writing as well.

Soap Operas and Smoothies

Hey Everyone!

I'm currently watching One Life to Live.

I love my soap opera... It is amazingly amazing. I never thought I would be a person to love a soap opera. The cheesy lines and crazy story lines always made me roll my eyes. Then I started watching one day, and fell in love. All of the twisted people and their twisted lives. They pretty much are all related and are constantly switching partners. I think that it is brilliant though. It definitely keeps me coming back for more.

I want a smoothie. Really bad. I am thinking of making one... Bananas, pineapple, ice... I think I have some blueberries too. I might throw some of them in there too. Although I really have a craving for peanut butter. I have none in my house though. I checked. I was really sad. I would have made a peanut butter banana milkshake then. More calories, but it would be delicious. Mmmm. Anyway... I'm just chilling.

College

Hey Everyone!

I'm currently listening to Make me Believe by Angel Taylor.

College is coming up in a couple weeks, 20 days exactly. It is such a mind trip when I think about it. College is something I have been thinking about since my freshmen year of high school. Now it is here. I am so excited about it. I cannot wait to get into classes that are harder and be able to discuss things to a great extent. I am excited about the longer class periods even! I am taking a class with Twin even! Which I am very happy about. I will be going to classes Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. I am happy about the long weekend, and the midweek break.

I am taking a literature class on gender and sexuality that I am sooooo excited about. The course description is "This section will explore how definitions of gender and sexuality affect our lives, choices and identities in powerful ways. We will read a variety of women's and men's viewpoints and will analyze, research and write essays on topics such as advertising, pornography, sports and work." I am looking to dive right in. I know that I will be able to offer a great deal to the class. I am looking to incorporate my own knowledge into the subject, but am also looking forward to adding to my knowledge. Not to mention it is a class in my strong suit, English.

Then I am taking an evolution class that Twin is enrolled in as well. It satisfies a requirement and it is a class with Twin, so I am excited. If Twin wasn't taking this, then I don't think I would have taken it my first semester, but it something that sounds interesting.

I also have a speech class, which I am thrilled about. I need to remember to keep my excitement to a minimum the first day at least. My oral communication skills are definitely up to par, so I don't think I will have a problem in this class. My speech class in high school was amazing, and I was one of three people to walk out of the class with an A. I am confident in the arena. Also, so far this is one of the only classes that has a lot of seats open [9]. I hope it stays that way. Speech classes are always better with a smaller number of people.

Then I have an Early Western Civilization class. I am a bit wary about this one. I know that I will need to study for this class and really pay attention. I know that with the amount of time that the class covers and the time we have to cover it... *geesh* I think this will be an interesting, but time consuming class. Although this class only has 13 students enrolled right now, I hope it stays near that number, I like the more personal classes and I would love it for this subject.

I have an Intro to Psych class, which I am really only taking so I can take abnormal psych and adolescent psych. I have already taken an intro to psych class in high school. So this should be relatively easy. Another reason I say that is because Twin took the class and I remember her talking about it and knowing A LOT of what she was talking about.

Then, the class I'm enrolled in, is Film and Society. I don't really know what this class will involve, but it sounds cool. So I have an open mind as to what to expect.

That's what my life is going to be like soon. I am very excited.

:)
