Amazing Friend

Thanksgiving break went by way too fast! I was surprised because I actually enjoyed going home, so that made me feel good. Seeing all of my best friends was the best part of going home. Although I've made friends here, so far no one can compare to my friends from back home. We're just too out there compared to most people I've met here. We don't care about what others think and we are very open about everything. It was hard to say goodbye to them, but we will see each other soon. I'm excited for the spring semester because that means track and field season! Both of my best friends do track and field in college, and one of them will more than likely be running in the Texas Relays this spring. She's an amazing friend and even more amazing at track. She won the 100m dash at the state championship three years in a row, and if she didn't tear her ACL she would've won it all four years of high school. She won and placed in other events too at the state championship all four years. Her name is Jasmine Sillemon and now she runs for the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs! It's amazing how much she has accomplished throughout her life so far, and I can't wait to see what else she'll accomplish. She inspires me to work hard for what I want every day, she never stops trying with anything she does, so I feel it is important for me to never give up and keep trying.

The break was nice!

The Thanksgiving break was pretty nice. I'm glad I got to spend time with my family that I haven't seen in 3 months. My thanksgiving break consisted of eating, watching TV, and sleeping. I did go out for black  Friday to get a laptop! I am so excited that I finally got a laptop! I also went to the movies with my family. it was nice to go to the movies as a family because we don't really do that. I've been to the movies with a family member and members but not with the whole family. During the break I did a little bit of work so I don't have too much to do after the break. I worked on my speech for my communications class and I did most of my online math homework. As soon as I came back from the break I went back to work. I was practicing my speech because I had to do it the next day, which was Monday. I also have a test on Thursday and then finals, which I am not looking forward too. December 13 needs to come quick because I'm ready for the winter break.

Not really a break

Although it was nice to go home and go see family I really do not feel like I had a break from anything. I literally worked 40 plus hours at my job and I was utterly exhausted. I work at a clothing store and it was black Friday sales going on so the place was super intense. I had to deal with lots of bad attitudes and fold lots of dusty clothes. When I did get off from work I then had to practice a communications speech and write an essay. So basically I had no moment of relief this whole Thanksgiving break, it was just work and more work. Now I have to prepare for countless final exams and I will be miserable until the 13th when I can truly have a break from this place.

Writing es no bueno

I just really hate writing. Writing just isn’t for me. And right now I am having to write so much and I’m just not enjoying it. I’m sitting here in the library writing a 5-10 page paper for philosophy while also working on my 25 page research paper. Luckily they are both the same topic: pornography. That was originally my research paper topic but we got to choose our philosophy topic so ideally I chose the same thing to make it as simple and as painless as possible. My friends were working on math homework and chemistry homework so I gladly did it for them (with the compensation of Starbucks in the future but that’s beside the point), I enjoy working on math and science. I can write fine, grade wise. But I will never be able to go above and beyond and be creative. Creativity is not one of my strong suits. I enjoy working out problems and solving equations, I could do it all day. But once I start writing a paper I instantly start falling asleep. I don’t know what it is. Next semester I truly consider the hardest thing ever because I am enrolled in English 2. Taking the AP exam and skipping English 1 was probably the best decision I have ever made. I dread going to English class. It’s nothing against my previous teachers or anything, I just hate English and writing. Luckily after this semester, I will never have to take another English class ever again.

Procrastination and Vacation

This break I did nothing that has to do with school. I left it in the backburner. I spent every moment I could with my family but I hope that did not affect my school work!

I forgot to do an assignment though, which is bad...

My break consisted of food, shopping, family and friends. The day we go out for break, I went to 6th street and it was so much fun! I love Austin and dancing with friends no matter what day it is. We had a potluck at work which was pretty fun and we still got paid even though all we did was nothing and eat. The rest of the week was entertaining and I'm glad I got to spend it with my family even though I see them everyday anyway.
I cannot believe there is only a week of actual class left then finals begin. I am not sure how I feel about this but I hope things go well!

Break and Finals

My Thanksgiving Break was a pretty good break. I had time to relax and think about what my next steps in the upcoming months will be. I also got to see some family I hadn't seen in awhile and see friends that I hadn't seen since we all left for school in August. I think that was the best part of break. The only down about break was how much a tease it was. Now we all have to come back and work hard for the next two weeks on finals.

With that being said, its only Monday night and I am already over this whole finals thing. I've wrote my last paper for my English class and I've spent the last hour studying for my last test in my Psychology class. Needless to say this is going to be a long few weeks that I am not too sure I am ready for. Especially seeing my roommates aren't studying yet so I'm sure when they start to do the same, our room will be full of tension. This ought to be interesting.

On the bright side, my first semester of college is ALMOST over.

Break

Thanksgiving break was pretty great. I saw so many people I hadn't seen in a very long time. I also got to catch up with my sisters and brother. For thanksgiving my sisters, stepmom, and I cooked so much food! It was so awesome eating good homemade food. After thanksgiving the week went by pretty fast. I was excited to come back to San Marcos, because I just kept thinking we only have two more weeks of school. I really just want to get these two weeks over with and go back home for a whole month. I know these next two weeks are going to be stressful because of finals and everything so I can't wait for them to be over.
