Holy moley. School is most definitely kicking my ass. Well, I had my very first college exam on Tuesday. It was in my favorite class, Psychology. I was taking it and putting stars next to the questions I should come back to. Unfortunately, there were about 30 little stars, just waiting on me to return. I did some process of elimination one ones where applicable. I still came up with a ton of questions that I wasn't sure about. Well, the results came, and I got a D. Yes, a D is better than an F, and many people told me that the first college exam you take isn't going to turn out well, in most cases. But, another unfortunate event rose today. I walk into that class, and I see my friend, Tori. She asks me if I did the online quiz. Oh for the love of God. I didn't even see this quiz. You see we have a program through my school where teachers can e-mail us, put homework and quizzes up, and just stay informed. But, this class doesn't inform you when there is a new online quiz to be taken. So, I got a zero on it. The good news is, she drops the lowest quiz grade. I just have to bust my butt so much more in order to do half way decent in this class.
College isn't all bad, though. I have a Writing/English/Debate class (which I absolutely love!) tied in with my Learning Community (basically, a class all about wanting to become a teacher). Well, we're now in the process of writing a summary paper. My topic is over an article dealing with same-sex marriage. Boy, I sure have done this topic a crap ton. It has to be 1,200 to 2,500 words. I have 1,212, but I really think I did a super fantastic job on it. It's my first college paper (hopefully not with the same results of my first college exam), and I just hope my professor approves of it. I did a short, little paper (nothing serious, at all), and received a 25/25. She told me I write well. I just can't wait to finish it. We did the peer reviews today, and they really didn't have much to add to mine. I think I'm going to do well in this class.
I'm getting very organized for my classes. I bought 5 different binders and some separators for the papers that I put in them. It looks awesome, and everything is so neat. Now, if only I could say that everything is still organized when I bring it home. You should see my room right now. It's a massive mess consumed of books, papers, folders, sticky notes, clothes, sheets, and a whole array of other random things. But, that will soon change. As soon as I'm done writing in here, I'm going to make it look all spiffy and pretty.
Well you see, my boyfriend and I went through some problems recently. We're doing so well right now. I mean, he's still very upset and sad about the whole situation, but we're really trying to work through this. I just cannot explain how thankful I am for him. I've spent the past two days with him, and both days have been great. We're really getting along, and I'm really trying my hardest to change for the better. I really think we're going to be alright, and I couldn't be happier about that.
My birthday was Tuesday. I turned 19! My parents got me the most crazy awesome bike. It's a deep red with super huge rims. It's a bit too tall for me, but I'm in absolute love with it. It's one of those "cruisers", the ones that resemble the bikes in older times. I really want to get a cute, wicker basket on the front of it. I'd really be stylin' then. Aaron bought me a pair of all black Vans, but they're a size too small. He'll have to return them. My best friend, Tabitha, came up and saw me, even though she had to cancel plans with a girl. She made me a precious little card, printed off three cute pictures of us together, and got me this awesome plant. It's call "Polka Dot" or "Freckled Face" or something like it. I've never had a plant of my own before. It excites me. Well, my whole family, Aaron, Tabitha, and I went to one of my favorite restaurants. It was a great time, and we took some really good pictures. All in all, it was a lovely birthday.
Love, d.
