Well, today has been a fair day. I went to the Majors Fair (which was for UNIV 1000 students... especially those who are undeclared--like myself--and for other people, i am not exactly sure who all was there). It was long, it was a little frustrating, and it didn't really show me anything that was different from what I already knew about the Majors I have been considering. This week is referred to as FAST week, and truly, it is busy. Since I am in the UNIV 1000 (or was, as it were it was only 8 weeks) I am expected to attend the Majors fair, Civic engagement activity, and two general workshops from the week. I am just about half done.
I also have a few assignments to get through... one in LM 1010 (which just happens to be an online class... not too fond of those), and I have to design a billboard for red bull in my advertising class, and i am not even sure where to start with that.
Things have also taken an interesting turn, although i am still trying to figure that one out, so i won't really say anything about it here, at least not yet. And life goes on.

Who ever said Friday was the week-end?
Well, I am a little stressed right now. I have missed my LM 1010 class, which is only meeting twice, however, that could have been a bad mistake... the problem is I didn't even realize it until almost 12 hours after I'd missed it. Yeah, not a good move on my part, but I hope that my professor will understand.
I also have a mid-term test on Monday (for theatre of all classes), and my PFP worksheets due in personal finance on Tuesday(did I mention that there were about 25 of them?). I also have to worry about getting my class project done in Personal finance, and also a research paper started for Advertising (though I might be able to do that with LM 1010 since LM is supposed to be a research class anyways). Yeah, things are a little stressfull right now, but I think I will survive, and hopefully with a B average in my classes.... to expect more would be very disappointing if I didn't achieve it.

Ballroom Dance, anyone?
Well, today has been a fairly allright day. I did happen to wake my roommate up with my alarm clock (i had to get up early to go to wal-mart before classes, a long story shor, to buy shoes...), but i didn't get up exactly at my alarm clock... but he did, and boy was he angry. i can't remember if i sent him this link, so Tyson, if you are reading this, i am sorry about that.
Anyhow... I went to Personal Finance and remembered i have about 20, (25 maybe) worksheets due by tuesday, which isn't going to be fun... and that went fairly smoothly, i am confident i aced the quiz (we have one after every class period).
Then today was the day of the big test for Ballroom dance. Yep, that's right, a test. It was on the cha cha (which isn't my best dance). But it was actually kind of fun. We dressed up (hence the shoes), and there were tested two couples at a time (i was number four, so, i was in the second group that tested), and I danced with another girl as she tested (there are only 9 guys, and about 15 or so girls, so someone was bound to dance twice). Yeah, it was kind of nerve racking at the time, but i survived, and with a score of 23 out of 25!!! I am thinking about joining the ballroom dance team eventually, i don't think i can in the beginning of the semester, but i am sure that i would like to next year (which will be easier since i will already be used to studying a lot, and not have to worry about playing catch-up all the time).
Also, for anyone who has been to my website, i know it hasn't changed. I do have more pictures, however i haven't had the time to post them yet, so be patient, and i will get to it soon (hopefully).
Besides that, something i have to watch out for is to get my costume ready for halloween. I am going to be Link (from the Legend of Zelda, for anyone who doesn't know who Link is). The red Link from the Four Swords game, to be exact, and yes i have someone helping me put my costume together, i just have to make sure i remember to get everything that i am going to need (but i already have a sword, so i don't have to worry about that... which is a good thing, since they aren't too easy to track down at times). It is going to be a nice costume, and i am excited to show it off at the various costume parties i will be going to (one actually, but i am going to visit some of my friends, and i am sure they will be dressed up to, so i can call it a costume party should i want to... which i do). That just about covers everything that's going on for right now, so I should probably get around to doing some more homework.

"There's something going on around here"
It's odd really, in the last hour, I've had two people say hello (people that i don't even know) to me between classes. One person knew my name (no, i still have no idea who it is/was), and the other person introduced themselves to me... Very odd, I would have never expected that to happen, but i guess i'm just used to the people being unsociable. I know I shouldn't be surprised, but it still does surprise me. College is so great!!! I love it, and most of my classes. I'm going off about 3 hours of sleep right now, so i think i'll leave it at that, before i say something i might not want to.

Almost Midterm
Well, today things went fairly smoothly so far, just a few things more to do today.
While I was in UNIV 1000, the TA said she wanted to talk to four people after class, and wouldn't you know, i was one of those four. I thought perhaps I was going to get in trouble because i haven't been "interacting" with my group very well (well, i don't really think they know what is going on, but i guess maybe i should have interacted more). But that's not what it was. She wanted to tell us she wanted us to consider being mentors for UNIV 1000. That was actually a bit surprising to me, i wasn't expecting that to ever even come up, but i think it could very well be a good idea, it would last all school year (summer not included) and it is actually a job, so i would get paid to do it. Yeah, i thought it was a good idea, though i'm not sure if i would want to or not. She did something that was a little confusing before, but i realize now it was closer to a compliment than anything else.
Also, in ballroom we've started (well, are finishing up) the swing... it isn't as hard as when we first started, and i think i'm getting the hang of it now. We also have went back to the Cha Cha. We know the steps, but now we are being taught the correct hip movements... it is a little awkward, and i can't really say i'm very good at it, but it is definately fun, and i would recommend to anyone taking a ballroom dance class. And it will be fun, because i think we will be starting the Waltz soon.
Well, i have a test tomorrow, and an essay that i have to get finished by tomorrow so I think I will leave it at that.

Life is sometimes... complicated
Today has been an allright day, just trying to get things done, figure some things out, and so on. Turned in one of my assignments for Advertising, it wasn't very good, but i couldn't really think of anything else to do for it, so i guess you just have to do the best with what you have. And I'm trying to get this blog up and running, and connect it with my website somehow... it's not as easy as it sounds, but i think i might be able to figure it out. I'll probably do more with it when i have more time, but i've got to get ready for work now.
