this has been a tuff term here at chemeketa. I think that I will pull through and win in the end.

So this weekend what I mostly did was SHOP. I bought presents, but only for my family. My parents bought presents for everyone in my family! It seemed like we were never gng to finish. I like gng to the mall, but not to spend the whole day there! It was so boring and there was so many people in every store. The lines were just horrible! We would wait like 20 minutes in line while everyone was pushing and shoving, it was 2 crazy. The good thing was that I got to hang out with my cousins. We all went to dinner and then watched a movie at one of my cousins house. So yeah that was a summary of my weekend.

so you hear all this talk about how college is so hard and it’s almost impossible to get straight A’s and blah blah blah… so my first few weeks i was really nervous, not knowing what to expect from this monster called “college”… but after i got into what is going on and stuff, figured out how things work here… i figured out that as long as you come to all your classes and do all the required homework, it’s impossible to fail a class, or even to get a D in it… If you communicate with the instructors and ask for help when you need it, they will help you pass the class and will make sure you understand what you are doing… so if you’re failing a class, you dont have a good excuse to be… if you’re not studying and trying to learn, then what are you doing in college anyway?…

hey all you out there that have room for one more credit, i strongly recommend that you register for the volleyball class this term, on the salem campus… it’s a fun and easy class to take… and very good to relieve stress after some hard classes… i’ve taken it last term and play on taking it every term until i leave chemeketa think about it… you won’t regret it…

When finals week was over, it just felt like a hundred pounds got lifted off my back. But the real question comes into play, “Did I pass?” Me personally, I felt alright about my finals. The only class that was stressing me out was MATH. I thought that I would get a “C” or lower! Came out that I got a “B!!!” I was so happy when I saw my grade and all my grades too. I did pretty well for my first term here in college. So know I just have to wait for winter term and give it all I got!

That nice break between school in the fall, and school in the dead of winter. During fall you remember going to school and coming home in the sun, saying it’s kinda hot out today. In the winter, you’re up before the sun and you wish you were home before the sun sets, but with the weather and traffic there’s not a chance of that. Winter break, this a good time for you to catch your breath, relax, do something that you have put off for the past ten weeks. Such as have a social life, having fun in the middle of the week, staying up late and sleeping in till you want to wake up. School may make you smarter, but break makes you happier.

All my finals were all in one day, I had four finals back to back to back to back. Only one of them was difficult for me. You guessed it, Chemistry. I was in and out of all my other finals before my seat was warm, but chemistry, urg. Finals week was like a resetting of a broken bone. Time before the resetting passed as slow as the continental shift. Then, in one second, a flash of pain, agony, and torture. It was over before I knew what had happened. I was left dazed, confused, brain dead, mentally unconscious. I had no idea where I was or what I was doing. I made it home safely, had dinner and went to bed. All this for one month of freedom, happiness, sleeping in. It was worth it, because you never miss something until you lose it for a long period of time.

As you guys probably all ready heard, it’s finals week! The good thing about my finals is that I’m done with all my finals since Tuesday. I took my writing final on Monday and I felt good about that. On Tuesday I took my reading and math final. I felt good about my reading final, but about my math one I’m not sure about that. The good thing is that I’m done with all my finals!!! And now I can relax for the next month!!! The problem is that I don’t know what I’m going to do in that month. But one thing is for sure… “PARTYâ€? lol.

that’s exactly why i never believe in best friends… there is no such thing… it’s just like a magical dream, that’s it… you get to the best part and then someone wakes you up and you face reality… i lost my best friend, the closest person to me, and it hurts really bad… i guess i saw it coming but i couldn’t face it… this person took a piece of me, when walking out of my life he took a part of my heart… i dont mind him taking it though, he can have it… that’s because he has had such a big impact on my life, leaving lots of sweet memories behind… i know that no matter how much time passes, he will always have a special spot in my heart… and i will always care about him…

well i have never taken finals in a college yet so this is all new to me… one of my classes i didnt have a big test, just had to write a 3 page paper so that was pretty easy… but on wednesday i have both of my big finals… i’m kinda nervous… especially about the reading one…
