SCHOOL!! AHH


So school is just starting back up again. Hopefully I haven't gone crazy by the end of the semester. I'm taking 14 credits at the college and also doing high school classes.. so I'm going to be very busy ha But I figure why not when its free! I'm excited to get those classes out of the way a done. I'm just doing my generals as of right now. I don't really know what I want to major in at the moment and I'm not in a big rush. This whole week I have been in and out of councilors offices figuring out my schedule. Its so tedious I sometimes wanted to pull out my hair. haha I am taking this art class that I am pretty excited about. We learn about all different types of artist, there life and what they thought and felt that was portrayed into there art work. We are going to draw and paint which I am so excited for. I though all we were going to learn is just history. But, my first big project is a presentation. We had to pick a piece of paper that had a occupation on it. I picked out a private investigator ha and then we picked a artist from a huge list of names. They were all ones I had never even heard of except for like two. I think there were Picasso and van gouge. I picked an artist named Elizabeth Lebrun. I am very interested to learn about her and her art work. My professor, Mrs. Bingham, says she is awesome and was an excellent choice. The assignment is with the occupation and the artist to somehow incorporate them together. For instance, I could bring "suspects" to class and interview them n something about this artist. I'm not quite sure how it will all work out but I am interested to see. I am also taking American Government at the college. It's at 7:30 in the morning.... Blah! I'm not used to waking up early anymore haha But, I can already tell from the two days of going to class that this class is going to be a challenge for me. I am not very familiar with the government and how it all runs. I took the same kind of class at the high school last semester and learned a little but, you know how high school is.. You could get away with murder! We are supposed to give a five minute oral presentation to the class every few weeks to the class about a major problem in the world that involves the government. hah its gonna definitely be a challenge. I admire my professor (Belmont) in so many ways. But mainly because he is so knowledgeable with the subject and you can tell he just loves to teach us what he knows. During the whole time he was speaking in class my eyes were on him. I was trying to grasp everything he was saying, which never usually happens. I'm usually drawing and doodling all over everything and look up occasionally. One thing that is really weird for me about this class is there is so many old people. haha Which this is also kind of a bad thing for me because they all know what there talking about aha well.. hopefully I'll learn to understand it all better soon. CIS is such a pain! It is a computer class that you have to do on your own time. It is so basic but is so time consuming. I am hoping to maybe test out of the class.. So we'll see next week when I try.. ha I'm still taking AP Stats at the high school because my teacher, Mr. Mcconnell wouldn't let me switch out because of a conflict with my dancing. I told him if I stayed I would have to be able to leave early from class everyday to go dance. He is totally fine with it so I guess I'm stuck in the class. ha I am taking Foods 2 at the high school because I need like a .25 credit of vocational that I recently found out about. It is quite fun though. I am usually am at the college and don't know anyone but this class I know people because I used to go to school with them when I did all my classes at the high school. So this is basically my play period. Last class we cooked a "mystery recipe", which was basically like a blueberry cobbler. I was SO good... ok enough about school... Dance just started back up again. I usually dance from about 1-6 most day. With an exception of Tuesdays and Thursdays were I go at four. I am so excited to learn new pieces and new choreography. It is my favorite part of the whole semester, other than performing. We lost a few members of the company this semester and got a few new ones which I am excited to get to know. I'm kind of a home body in a way... well actually I am haha If I'm not at school, work, or dancing then I'm usually at home lately. I am definitely enjoying it though, getting closer to my little brothers and my parents. As far as friends go, I usually hang out with Isaac, Chelsea, Tahna or Courtney. There are a few others.. Here are there I'll hang out with other people. Isaac is someone I have not to long ago stated hanging out with. He is definitely not like any other boy I've met. I learn something new from him every time we hang out. We share so much in common and hope we can always be good friends cause he is so fun. Anyways, that's enough I think for now at least.. wish me luck!
