English Class

Well, English was quite an adventure this semester. I had many arguments and debates. I remember arguing about what topics to write about. I remember arguing about my paper, trying to justify how I felt about something. I always did my best to listen to what people had to say in English but also realizing that it was quite hard to actually keep an open mind. You don't realize how close minded you really are until you have a debate with a diverse group of people. This has taught me to listen and keep an open mind with anything! I hope I can keep this in mind in future conflicts. Whether it be work, school, or personal experiences. I appreciate what Professor Sweeney has done for me, and I hope I can take his English class next semester!

Always,

Kaci

Done!

I just finished my last paper! And believe me. That's a big relief off of my shoulders! I can't wait to make sure I take Sweeney's class next semester! Happy happy day! I have to work though, so it puts a bit of a damper on my day. Oh well, it's only 5 hours. I am probably going to take a well deserved nap! Nap's are always refreshing and amazing even at 19 years old! I am also hungry, so I am debating... Decisions decisions. Well, I have 3 finals to take and I'll be officially done with my second semester of college, that's an acheivement in my family, none of the other grandchildren in my family so far that is going to college and is staying in it. I can't wait to graduate from Richard Bland! It'll be such an acheivement in my family and I know I'll be proud of myself and i hope my family will be as well.

Food, yummy.

I am eating a bacon and egg croissant sandwich. And orange juice. That's what is on my mind. I am very hungry! PLUS I have chocolate CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS TOO! It may sound like it's too much chocolate but TRUST ME, it's not! Mmm, on a more serious not off of food. I am signing up for my summer class today after my LAST TWO CLASSES OF THE SEMESTER/YEAR. I am so proud of myself! And everyone else should be too!! I have already registered for my classes and I just gotta get an override for an English class! I am almost done writing my last paper of the semester and just need to finish these blogs and comment on a few more and I'll be done with this semester. Except for studying for my history, psychology, and criminology final. This is just all so crazy fast. I have a lot of stuff to plan and get together. It's all so frazzling but I know I can do this and it'll work out for itself.

I am excited for summer 2013! I'll be working, taking one summer class, and then preparing for my 2nd year in RBC! I;m so excited and so happy! Like I know I'm ready for this and now I can take a breather on everything. I still have one paper to tweak, and finish writing a paper! I have to study all tonight for my LAST pyschology test before my final, and the rest of these blogs and comments. THEN FINALS AND WE'RE ALL DONE. I am glad to hear from people who have been commenting on my blogs agree with me. My mom just got into an argument about my future. She never went to college and I think she's upset that she never made a career... So I feel like she is trying to live through my experince and make me do what it is she wants. She has always been sort of controlling like a ridiculous amount. I think this may be one reason I am always so anxious and nervous about my life and future. I just want to go to school, work, and be a teenager. But unfortunately living with my parents it's not that easy. I just have to stick it out one more year. I can do this.. Then I have my car, my first two years of college done, and I can move out. My boyfriend and I are already looking... I get more stressed than I shoukd because of my parents. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one with crazy controlling, strict parents. I don't ever really hear anybody else explaining the stuff I go through with my parents about theirs... Oh well, I'm gonna touch it out because it'll make me stronger and I know it. Good luck everyone!

Time has flown by! I thought I still had weeks to get all my stuff finished! I am a terrible procrastinated sometimes! But somehow I always do my best work like that. I can't believe my first year of college will be COMPLETELY done in 2 weeks! PROPS TO ALL THE FRESHMAN IN COLLEGE. Yay us. I am about to get my Alt Pin number to make my classes! But I haven't had time to meet up with my adviser and see what courses I need to take to graduate but not get a degree! Phew! I just need more time! I have no idea how I'm going to get this all done in so little time! I know a lot of other people are feeling the same way about right now! I can totally understand. I work and I need to study for two tests this week, an in class essay, 3 exams, 6 more blogs, and 10 comments on other peoples blogs! Ah! HELP. No sleep week for college students! Haha. After this I have 3 and a half months to BREATHE. Well, and work 6 days a week maybe even 7. But still no studying, no papers, no tests, no quizzes, no MATH. I hate math, if anyone actually reads this and goes to Bland. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT TAKE PROFESSOR FIDELMAN FOR ANY MATH. He's not a bad man, he's very intelligent. He just cannot teach for the life of him, especially to our age group. I failed that class because of hima and I'm not exactly terrible at math, I'm not great but I'm not terrible. Anyways good luck to you all, I'm hungry and it's time for me to eat! And get ready for my night class and tweak some papers.


Always in English,

So I realize that college is supposed to help us. But it's so expensive, by the time I get out of school completely I'll be over $50,000 in debt. If people said growing up was fun, or wasn't scary at all... They lied to you. It's terrifying, I'm terrified. I, sometimes, don't understand and can't fathom why people make it so necessary to have a degree in some sort to have a decent paying job. But not enough to live off of, have a family and pay off all of your debt from school. I want to get educated and have the career I have been dreaming of all my life, don't get me wrong. I just don't know how I am going to do this. I am taking this one step at a time I suppose only being 19. I am young and I know that I can do this. I am ready for what life puts me through, I'm just scared of the future because you, yourself can only control but so much. I am fortunate enough that my father spent 22 years in the military and earned the GI Bill, and used some of it for his school, and granted me and my sister, MacKenzie about 2 free years of school which I'm using on Richard Bland. Then will start applying for grants and pelgrants. And what doesn't cover my tuition of those I will start taking out student loans and will pay those off. I guess we all just gotta do our best. Unfortunately I get very angry when I fight to go to school and do my best. We have students who don't do anything and get help from scholarships and don't have any desire to be in school. Whereas I am fighting to be in it, and WANT to be in it. And they are taking my oppurtunies away from me. Or where their daddies and mommies make enough to send them to school and they take scholarships away from those who need it more. That is my rant about this for now... Goodbye all!

Always,

My life is always a bit frazzled!

I haven't posted anything in awhile. I feel it's okay on  a rainy Monday on spring break before I doll up my paper for my professor. I am busy! Getting my taxes done, I'm making a vet appointment for my puppy, and also getting my puppy food today! Plus I had to finish a paper, and research some stuff with my mother. Thank goodness I don't work today! It's spring break but boy I don't understand why I'm still so frazzled! I just got engaged but we aren't planning on getting married for about 3 years. But talk about stressful. I don't have any energy to do spring break things. I just want to sleep all the time. ALTHOUGH, I am going to the Carrie Underwood and Hunter Hayes concert this Thursday! Talk about exciting! Anywho. I will post another after the concert but for now I have errands to run! Ta ta for now! BYE everyone and have a fabulous Spring Break!
