Finally Time to Relax

Things have started to slow down now that I have gotten adjusted. I have taken up a work study position in the research office at school. There is rarely any work to be done, so I get most of my studying done at my 4 by 3 desk tucked in the corner of our office. I actually am at work now and so far today, I have read 100 pages of a book for my Honors class, wrote a journal entry for Prose Literature, and memorized two pages of notes for biology. Speaking of biology, I took my first exam yesterday. I studied hard all week for it and only got an 84. I guess I cant complain, as the class average for the test was an 81. I decided I should get a head start on studying for the next test, so I'm going to try to read my notes after each class so I wont have to overload.
Right now, I'm enrolled in a night class, Fundamentals of Speech, that runs from 6 PM until 9 PM on Tuesday nights (today is Tuesday.) I get nervous walking home from this class because it is a bit of a distance from my dorm and there have been a few incidents over the past week with people getting followed home. Also, our vacations start on Tuesday nights, so when I want to come home my parents would have to pick me up at 9 and I wouldnt get home until 1 in the morning! And there is a Dave Matthews concert on November 2nd (a Tuesday night) that I wouldn't mind attending, so I decided that after work today, I am going to march over to the registrars office and drop that class. I have a lot of room in my schedule to take it in a different semester, but right now with 19 credits, work, cheerleading, PT club, sport and exercise science club, SAAC, and Honors, it is hard to keep up! By the time 6 o'clock rolls around, I'm EXHAUSTED! Time to get back to work!

Welcome, Class of 2014

I can't believe I have already been at college for a little over two weeks! Gannon University has thus far proven to be an AMAZING place for education! I am part of the honors program, so I was graced with a handful of the university's top educators. My classes aren't too hard.. as long as I keep up with my reading everything stays on track. I also am part of the cheerleading squad. Our first game was last thursday and proved to be very exciting! The Knights won the battle and our football team left the field with a 26-20 victory over Lake Erie College. It was a memory I will never forget. Being dressed in maroon and gold and standing in front of hundreds of my classmates was a bit intimidating, but it was great to be a part of this scene!

College parties > Highschool parties. I have had my fair share of Saturday night adventures since I have been here and there is nothing like waking up on Sunday and recollecting the night before with a group of close friends. The giddiness is always exciting and it is fun to see who has the most interesting story. College boys are creepy and must be avoided at all costs. When they see a decent looking freshman girl, they swarm. It is best to ignore them and NEVER give them your phone number!
