Spring Semester

You know how things are always done better the second time around? Whether that is painting a picture or running a mile — the second time around always trumps the first.

Well, I feel like school can be the same way, as it is divided into two semesters. Fall semester is like your preparation and you’re more prone to making lackadaisical mistakes than opposed to now, because at the time, you are just coming back from a relaxed summer vacation. In this case, you’re coming from a 2-3 week break (if even that) where you still have some of that school knack in you. During the summer, especially if you are far from college like me (Arizona), you might even start to miss the people from school, so you get anxious as well to start school up again and reunite with your peers that helped ease your rollercoasting college days.. until of course, the reality of 10 page papers and 3 hour exams comes into play.


On another note, it’s easier to do something when there is a short-term reward in the end — that being summer. In the fall, you know you still have another semester to knock out before the ultimate vacation.

At any rate, spring semester officially begins tomorrow, Wednesday, January 27, 2010, and I feel unprepared for some reason. Yes I have my schedule, checked my alerts, holds, and any other hindrances that constantly appear on the student portal, and it seems that I have everything set, yet I still don’t feel ready. Thankfully the first week is a short one and I can use the weekend to fully recuperate and mentally prepare myself for another long 20 weeks or so.. or at least ’til spring break.

My Home Away From Home...




As many years as I've had to travel (for basketball) and do the whole packing process; i swear it gets harder every time! From experience, I've learned it's always better to over pack than under pack.. so i tend to get a little suitcase-happy and throw just about everything i own in there *side eye*



I'm finally happily settled & moved into my apartment for college (i'm a sophomore). And to even start with how long it took to unpack my 5 suitcases, 7 boxes (from storage), and various miscellaneous items, uggh.. this process took much time, patience, and gospel mixed CDs to keep me sane. Lol.. this week has been crazy. I'm an Orientation Leader for the freshmen on my campus and these youngins are giving me premature grey hairs.. smh, thank God for the stipend :)

Reader Question: What's one thing you felt necessary to bring one year, but ended up never using it?

Plane Ride to Kansas

i HATE FLYING!

Photobucket

--first && foremost, i wanted to get that out the way. i've always had a fear of flying for as long as i can remember. its just not a pleasant thing. never has been. so to make it go by quicker i'll usually take sleeping pills or stay up all day be4 the flight to guarantee i'll be knocked out when airborne. haha. so if we DO go down, it'll be in peace .. lmao
--so to top off my college experience, i end up missing my first flight due to traffic and minor confusion with my luggage
--i finally arrive in denver about 3-4 hrs later, only to find a flight delay of an hour and 40 minutes .. so i'm thinkin "GREAT!"
--then once i get in Kansas City and got all my luggage, i realize i dont have my phone in my pocket where it ALWAYS is, so i start freakin out .. only to find it picked up by some1 in the airport and in the lost & found w/ my driver's license .. haha
--thank God for loyal KANSAS FOLKS! yay! or as jasmine would put it 'woot woot'! haha

:D
