Finals Week

Finals week is here. I can’t even being to try and study anymore. I’m so studied out. My first final is Monday at 10:40. It’s my Calculus two final. I need at least an 88 to get an A in the course and I’m striving for that A. It’s sad that this is my last math class. I like math and will miss it, but I’m not trying to take Calculus three. That will honestly hurt my brain. My second final is Tuesday. I have my Biology 230W final at 10:40. I’m striving to keep my B right now. I hate the fact that I’m even excited about a B at this point. I like having all A’s. I’m a perfectionist in what I like and it’s killing me that I’m not perfect at this class. I will settle with a B for now because a B is way better than a C. My third final is Thursday at 8:30. It’s my Chemistry final and I am so ready to be done with that class.

This semester as a whole went really fast. The days went by way too slow for me and classes dragged on. It’s crazy that I’m already done my third semester of college. Five more to go until graduation. Hopefully, my classes for the rest of my years at Penn State Abington till benefit me and won’t make me have to wait to graduate. I really should think about what I actually want to do with my life. I’m happy to be majoring in Biology, but I have no idea what I’m going to do with it. I guess only time will tell.

Thanksgiving Break

Thanksgiving break went way too fast! I feel like I wasn't even away from school. My week was good though. I got to see my friend who goes to Penn State-main campus for the first time since August when she left. I missed her! She has been my best friend since grade school. Even though we went to different high schools and now colleges, she still remains my best friend. I can talk to her about absolutely anything and not feel judged in anyway. She is such a genuine and sweet person. I also saw another friend who goes to CCP. He is super hyper and has a lot of positive energy surrounding him and when I am around him I pick up that energy and it is such an amazing feeling. Being positive is the only way to get through life. Negativity brings negative things to people's lives and no one seems to realize that. The world needs more people like my friend. He is an all around good guy and he tries to make everyone feel accepted in this harsh world we live in. I had to babysit a sick little boy named Quinn on Wednesday. My poor neighbor had a fever and a bad cough. He is such a cutie. I couldn't stand seeing him being sick. When his mom got home from work early, she went to pick up her other two kids from the bus stop. The little girl Mariah came home and they found out she had pink eye, and then Quinn got it! I really hope those kiddies feel better, but I also really hope I don't get sick from being around them. That'd be a nightmare.  Thursday was a good day with my family. I'm extremely glad it was just my mom, dad, two brothers, and my sister for dinner. If anyone else from our family was there, the day probably would have sucked. Black Friday shopping was not in my schedule on Thursday night or Friday morning. I'd rather pay full price on something than go to a store at midnight or any other time in the AM and risk getting it anyway. After hearing a lady used pepper spray on people, I think I'm okay with staying home and not going through all that mayhem.
School has started up again and I'm not looking forward to two weeks of learning stuff I don't care about anymore. I am over school this semester. For some reason, this semester has been the hardest yet. I have no idea why either. I think I just need winter break and I'll be fine and ready for the spring 2012 semester. I have to finish this one first and I need to finish strong. I have a lot more quizzes and homework due so I'll be good I hope. I got a 92 on my last biology test! Thank God! It brought my grade up only by two points but whatever.  Two points up is way better than two points down. I just have to stay positive that my grade can come up and I'll do well. I'll study harder than ever for my next test and I'll be ready to ace it!

I can’t wait for this semester to end. One more week and we’ll all be free from school, until January rolls around.
