It's Been a While

Hey there readers!

As the title of this post so eloquently states, it's been a while since I've blogged. I swear I haven't just abandoned it. I'm still alive and all that.

Let's see, when I last blogged, it was still Winter Quarter (UGH). I am happy to say that quarter is officially over, thank goodness. And, I did surprisingly well in my classes. Totally thought I was failing a class and ended up with a B. But I'm not complaining! I'll take it. Spring Quarter just started, so that's pretty exciting. I decided not to totally overwhelm myself, especially since I'm going on a volunteer trip pretty soon (I'll talk about that in just a moment). So I'm only taking three classes instead of five like I did for both Fall and Winter. Those classes are: Theater Appreciation, Theories of Personality (Psych), and English Writing 2. I met my psych teacher yesterday because the class is Monday through Thursday, but Theater and Writing are both Tuesday and Thursday only classes, so I just met my Theater professor this morning. I have to admit though, I was pretty proud of the knowledge I gained from taking theater in high school. We talked about different kinds of theaters, and I was able to use vocab from other classes to answer questions. And my psych class seems pretty fun just from the personality of the professor. he seems pretty cool. For writing, I actually met my professor a few weeks ago because I needed to talk to her about the volunteer trip I mentioned previously. However, she wasn't at school today for whatever reason, so apparently the director of Language Arts was there. He basically just gave us the syllabus, talked for like 10 minutes about the class and said, "Have a Nice day! Feel free to go home." Sweet!

Last quarter hit pretty hard, because I was out sick on top of everything happening with Silky. I'm honestly surprised I did so well. This quarter feels good to me. I feel really prepared for this one, even though there's still so much I need to get done this week for school. Fall quarter, I felt kind of prepared, but honestly, I still needed to pull things together and it just wasn't great. It turned out well, but I wasn't totally ready. Winter quarter, as I mentioned was really bad. Again, it turned out alright in the end, but I was definitely not ready for it. But this one, I'm feeling fairly ready for. I'm sure I'll end up stressed in the middle again, but still it's not too bad. So we'll see.

I don't know if I mentioned this in an earlier post or not, but I'm going on a volunteer trip next week! I leave Saturday for Mexico. I have to admit, I'm super excited to go. It's my fifth year going on this trip and my first year as a leader. In the past couple weeks, I've kinda been doubting whether I want to go or not, though it's too late to change my mind at this point. But I think once I get there, I'll be really happy I went. I will not have internet access in all likelihood though, so I'll have to tell you how the trip went once I get back.

There's not much else left to update you all on, so I guess I'll stop here for now. For my already in college readers, how is your quarter/semester going so far? What kinds of classes are you taking? For any readers who are graduating high school this year, have you received any acceptance letters yet? And just for everyone, how is your week going?

With Love,
