Holidays

I know we have some time still to the holidays, but this year I am thinking about them early.  I normally don't think much of the holidays as my family lives elsewhere and I haven't spent the holidays with them since I was 19, but this year is different.  I have an almost one year old niece to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas with.  I am looking forward to the holidays this year, even if I cannot be in attendance on the days, I am looking forward to sending better gifts than my normal cards.

Days like today make me wish I lived back home.  :(

Like finding $20 in my pocket...

You know what is even better than finding $20 in your pocket? No? Well, I am going to tell you.

Last week I was given a take-home midterm for one of my anthropology courses that is due tomorrow. The test wasn't hard, but took a very long time to complete (over a full eight hours of research and answering essay questions) so when I completed the test yesterday, I was not looking forward to completing the weekly anthropology reading and questions due tomorrow. Well, I just looked at my assignment schedule and realized that the next anthropology assignment due is next Thursday!! Not tomorrow!! Now, that is better than finding $20 in my pocket.

Midterms!!

I only have one class with midterms this semester. It is very nice that out of my five classes, only one has a large test. Although, I guess with English having two major assignments due could be considered a midterm. Either way, very happy it is not a test that I need to study for. :)

I am also surprised that we are halfway done with the semester. It has flown by!

Honor's Society

A double post, but oh well.

For the past two semesters, the honor's society has emailed and mailed me information on how to join. I have gone back and forth on whether or not to join. I do believe joining the honor's society will be beneficial in my college life, but I am worried that if I join now, what if I mess up this semester and bring my GPA down? I guess I would have to really mess up as my GPA is fairly high, but I keep thinking that joining is setting myself up for disaster. My boyfriend and mother both urge me to join, but I am scared. I guess I keep thinking of highschool and how my freshman and sophomore year I did really well but then let it all fall away with junior and senior year. I believe that I am more mature than I was then, but I still am afraid something will happen.

:(

Procrastination

I just don't understand my mindset at this point in school. During the summer, I had my week set with how I did my homework but it seems I cannot get my mind around doing homework early in the week. Every week I have waited until the weekend and then stressed myself out to get all my work completed on Saturday and Sunday. I really hope that next week I can change that, just need to be hard on myself and not allow myself to read or watch tv when I should be doing homework. I think I can do it.

With that said, I am now going to start doing my Office homework and then get started on my English homework. I know I can get it done, it is just stressful. Maybe 13 credits wasn't the smartest idea? We will see.
