English Blog #3

It's me again,

I have been thinking and the truth is that English along with American Diversity and Design (AD&D) are the two hardest classes I have this semester. I am glad that AD&D is only two days a week and the homework is not that hard, but English is a pain to get up after long nights at studio and going three days a week is hard. I am glad that I am on better with my professor now and that I am getting the hand of the timing thing. Everything seems to be getting easier though, this is the first weekend since I have started college that I have had a whole day free of studio. I think after the first English essay is done I will have a good idea of how to do things.
Another thing I have realized is that personal essays suck. Most teachers think that by giving us personal essays it will be easy because it is about you, yet that is the complete opposite. It is super hard to write about yourself and nobody ever wants to do it. I hate looking back at my life and trying to figure out if something I did in my life relates to this or that. Even worse than writing a personal essay would have to be writing a memoir. I wrote one in tenth grade and it was torture. I think we spent about a month and went through about four drafts before it was done, and even worse than that we had to make a video with a monologue in it talk about cruel and unusual punishment.
So, I just have to put one last thing, it is Saturday, it's 6 o'clock, and I am finishing the last bit of my homework for Monday! I think I will be partying (sorry mom) and catching up on my sleep for Sunday. I am so excited. That is all.

English Blog #2

Hey again,

OK, so its about the fourth week of classes and i feel things are moving a little slow. I don't think I've been to bed earlier than 1 o'clock in the morning, I haven't finished anything earlier than the night before class and me telling myself and my family everything is OK isn't really helping. So, everything in my mind is pretty much the same since the start of the semester. I still feel like everything is going wrong when I thought it was going to be so much easier  this semester. Also, I'm having money issues and the fact that I got a parking ticket didn't help much. I guess what I'm saying is life isn't really going my way right now.
On the bright side studio seems to be the only class I'm doing well in. The professors and my TA (teacher's assistant) seem to have liked my design from the beginning. I think I have a good chance at getting picked for the top 24 which I really hope I do because then I will have something nice to tell my family maybe then they won't worry quite as much. Also, it would really boost my spirits if my design got chosen as one of the better ones. I need a little confidence boost after last semester.
The only other thing that's bothering me is my boyfriend. He has been really sad lately and I know it's only because he misses me, however I'm worried about him because he's a little too sad if you ask me. He always cries and he thinks I'm going to leave him, but he is kind of pushing me away a little and I don't want us to break up that would just break my heart. So, I really hope he gets better about me being away.
Well, what I'm going to end with is just a bright look on the rest of the semester.

MY RESOLUTION STARTING NOW FOR THE REST OF THE SEMESTER:
1. I would like to be able to get to my classes on time from now on
2. I would like to try and make all of my classes for the rest of the semester meaning none skipped (but this will be one of the hardest rules to follow ;) )
3. I want to finish most if not all of my future projects at least a day earlier than the deadline
4. I want to have fun in my classes and do well (but then again we all want that)
5. And most importantly I want stick to my statement and NOT do any all nighters

Well, I think that about covers it; school is very important to me it makes a difference for the rest of my life. So, it's important that school be number one!
