New Semester

My feelings towards ending this semester are mixed. half of me is excited to be moving onto other classes but then i am also sad because i am nervous about how my new classes will turn out to be. I'm starting to wonder if my classes are going to be filled with new people and are very challanging or if they aren't as challanging as i expected them to be. I hope that they will help me decide what i would like to be so by the end of this year i can declare my major. when i first started college i wanted to be a nurse but now since my classes in psychology i am leaning more towards social services. Next semester i will be taking my core classes as math english 1100 religion and discover New York i will also be taking another psychology class which i am very excited for.

The Dark Knight

Even since the summer when i had seen the movie The Dark Knight i had been counting down the days till the movie comes out on dvd. This movie was one of the best movies i have seen in theatres in a while. Even since i was little i was always obessed with the movie batman and this new addition to the collection has made the obsession grow. When i found out the movie was coming out on December 9th i have been counting down the days. I cannot wait to have the movie for myself so i can watch it whenever i want.

Thanksgiving

On thanksgiving i woke up early and helped my mother cook. Since my grandmother is getting older now my mother, uncle and aunt all spilt the cooking up. My mom and I usually get the most things to cook since i help her cook as well they figure that we can get it done quicker then they could. We finally finished cooking at 1:30 and had a half hour to spear of just sitting around and watching old home movies. When we finally got to my grandmothers house we did what we do for ever holiday and set up the table and then sit down for the beginning of the meal. This thanksgiving wasn't as crowded at my grandparents house as it usually it. it was only eleven of us there which there is usually up to 25 people there. I was very relieved that it wasnt so crowded but it wasnt the same as usuall. We sat at the table talking about old things and whats new in our lives and how were looking forward to Christmas because our family from florida will becoming back for a month.

Thanksgiving Break

When the two last days of school finally hit before thanksgiving break i was so excited. I knew that i would have a five day weekend and a lot of time to catch up on work that i have put off to the last minute. But as a few days pasted i realized i had more homework and things to do around the house then i had expected. So i tried to manage my time with Cleaning and doing work and then of course having some relaxing time for myself as well. The first day i spent relaxing the whole day which i should not have done. Since on thursday i had to spend the rest of the day cooking for thanksgiving. so the three days left i decided that i would finish up all the homework assignments that i had not done. even though i decided to do this it was not fun. it actually was very annoying and the whole time i just wanted to go back to bed and forget about it but i didnt. i kept pushing myself so that on sunday i could do nothing but relax and clean a little bit more. hopefully my plan will work out the way i wanted to.

Work overload

did you ever notice that once you get to a certain part of the semester you are just overwelmed with work? If its test every other day or having way to much homework to do or even papers due that you have put off to the last minute its always so overwelming. After a while of you actually keeping up with it you just want to not do it for one day for a break. usually these work overloads are when its close to the semester ending. when the semester ends thats when you have to quickly do those assignments that you were given in the beginning of the year and you put off to the last minute. its those assignments that you were given and you never really wanted to do because they seemed like they were going to be a pain to do. but when you notice that you have only a few days to do and a twelve page paper due you just have to stop putting it off. and finally when you stop putting it off you wish that you would have just done the smartest thing and started it from when the teacher gave it to you. so next time your thinking of putting something off remember how stressful it is when you have to do it the last few days of the semester
