Best part of class?

If I had to choose the best thing about this english course would be the professor. She was amazing and helpful. She is patient and always willing to go the extra mile for a student. I've become awfully fond on her and in fact plan on taking a course with her next semester. She is a lovely teacher and I don't know if I would have passed English class without her as the teacher. I'd be a shame to find out that I won't have the pleasure of having her next semester DUE TO the stupid ass VP of OCC. Dana, you better be there or I am dropping the class!

Off Track

This semester went from me thinking I could get away with half assing everything like I used to in High School. I have come to the rationalization that it's not as simple as I thought it'd be. Im getting bad grades and Im forgetting to blog and waiting till the last minute to do everything. I really hope I can somehow bring my grades up and make my grade better before the end of the semester. Which is what? A week? Im doomed! Great way to start off the college life. Im really starting to regret leaving Rutgers sometimes. All my classes make me want to rip my hair out of my head because its just so much work since I got the shit classes from signing up for them SO late in the summer. Im screwed.

school

I can't believe that this semester is already half way over. It doesn't seem real at all and honestly I'm feeling the pressure. Im so nervous as to how my grades are going to turn out. My classes are becoming extremely difficult and I am noticing that I cannot just breeze through college like I did in high school. I hope that I'm not doing as bad as I think I am. I hope that I will be able to pull myself out of the slump I seem to being going through. Only time will tell.....

The Princess Encyclopedia

I went to an elementary school book fair today, don't ask why, but I saw the Princess Encyclopedia. I couldn't help myself and bought it. I have a weird obsession with the Disney Princesses. The book tells the story of each princess and then gives funny stories to go along with each princess. Also has details on other characters from the stories. For example, the Snow White chapter gives a list of ways to clean your house with the help of friendly forest animals. It just cracked me up and I loved it. Im still a little girl at heart, what can I say.

first semester

I originally thought that I was going to breeze through my four classes without any difficulty at all. I expected to be able to do barely nothing and still pass with an A. Recently I came to the conclusion that you actually have to DO the work in order to pass your classes. I'm not saying that I can't get my grades up or that I can't get good grades because I can. Were not that far into the semester but I do need to seriously start to take this seriously because if I don't, I'm not going to be able to transfer next fall like I hoped I would. I will admit though that I like all my professors and classes. And going to a class that doesn't make me want to shoot myself in the head is a good enough class for me.

Books and movies

It made me happy to see that I have read and seen many of the books and movies on your lists. In an odd way it makes me feel like my weird movie and book obsession isn't too much of a waste of time. Ok so my recommendations for books are the Twilight series and the Sisterhood of the travel pants series. They have to be my favorite to read. I think it's because I don't like reaching an end to a book so reading series of books let me prolong that for a longer period of time. And my movie recommendations if you haven't seen them already would be:
My Cousin Vinny
The Shawshank Redemption
Girl, Interrupted
The Notebook (because everyone needs to get notebooked at least one in their life)
Fight Club
Cast Away
Kill Bills
Finding Nemo
And this list could probably go on forever because I have a movie obsession but i'll end it there

new language

When I heard about this new language I got excited. I think it is pretty cool that out of nowhere scientists have found a new language that is different from the rest. Its weird to think that people just come up with their own languages and honestly I think I might lose my mind if i tried to think about how languages start and who starts them and the beginning of it all. However it is an interesting topic and I hope that there will be more discovers like that in the future.
