Let the Games aka Class BEGIN...

안녕!!!
Class...only some hours away from being the first one. I'm surprised at how excited I am. Maybe it's because I'll have something to occupy my whole day. Or...maybe it's the thought of being successful this semester. More than likely it is both.

So tomorrow is my first day back in a classroom. This semester is going to be filled with some ups and downs that I can see already. Unlike my first two semester I am a full time student and will be working part-time. (*The positive to the part-time is that, as I've wrote before, the job is on campus. No transportation worries.) My class schedule is actual quite simple. I attend classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, leaving room for me to work and study on Tuesdays and Thursdays. (*My work schedule is actually Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.)
Mondays I have class from morning to afternoon which leaves just about no room to work or study. When say from morning to afternoon I mean 9am to 6pm. :( The reason why Monday is a full day of classes is because I have a lab on that day which is 3hrs long. *BOOO!!!* But luckily that class is only one day a week so on Wednesday and Tuesday I have like a 3hr 30min break in between one class. That 3hr time will be used for studying. Of course I still have weekends to study of course. (*I recall my biology syllabus said that I need to study 12hrs a week to keep up with it.)

Today I basically laid around. I woke up early so that I could fix up my hair so I don't look crazy. I still need to finish that up before the day is over. Hoping I don't fall asleep because if i do then I will have a hard time sleeping during the night. Don't need that to happen.

Well, my first week of school is beginning...and next Monday is my birthday. Wow...time goes by so fast. <3

Soooo...until I have something else interesting to write about, you have read the *~Secrets~*

Aspirations(Goals)...

안녕!!!
Hey, so I have been thinking. Doing a lot of thinking like I'm always doing. Lately the topic has been on my goals. Whenever people ask me what my goals are it seems like I don't know, but when I'm just doing whatever it is I do I know that I have a plan.
~~~~~
I have my big goal set to be finished in the next three years. That goal is to go in to the military. Yeah, I want to go in to the military. A lot of people give me the side eye when I tell them that's what I want to do. My mother was all for it since she was in the military, but when I told my other family members they were not having it. (*Their strong disapproval moved away from the idea for a little while. I decided to tell them that I wasn't going to, but I'm secretly working towards it. I understand they worry for me, but it's okay.)

Honestly, for people who know how getting in to the military works they know that I could have been joined the military. But for what I want to do in the military you need to score high and having a two year degree gives me a better chance of getting that position. I've got a good strategy here. My main job is going to be science related and that side deal is going to be anthropology. (*Or vise verse...this is what's stomping me right now.) This is the big goal I am working towards in the next two or three years.

In order to do that I need to get the two year degree. I'm in a community college right now but the bad part is that they aren't offering the specific degree I need. I'm so lucky that I have a way of getting around this negative. Luckily for me my grandmother lives in California where there is a community college not far from her that I can attend. (*Not only is the location good, but I did a lot of research and comparisons between the two colleges. The one in California is WAY better than the one I am currently attending.)

That's pretty much it for the three years. Besides holding a steady job of course to do the things I want to save up for in the far future.
~~~~~
There are of course a whole lot of other things I want to do in the future. Things such as getting an internship across seas, learn two or three other languages, live in ____ country for ____ amount if years. These things just aren't in any particular order yet. Once I've gotten this military goal out of the way then I will deal with them later.

It really feels good to be able to see myself doing these things with my life. Good to know that I'm not just on auto-pilot or in idle mode.

The Classes Begin...

안녕!!!
This is the last week of summer for me. :) I'm quite excited really. It's funny how when you're not in class you wish you were and vise verse. I already know that as soon as that first week of class is over I'm going to wish the summer had lasted longer. But that's okay....I think.
~~~~~
Anyways, there are still some things I need to accomplish before classes start. The biggest thing on my list is to get my books. I have to wait for my financial aid to come in order for me to get my books. If I had a bank account I would probably have it by today. (*I feel funny about having a bank account. If I could I wouldn't have one, but unfortunately you need one.) It might still end up in the mail today. At least I hope so because it would suck to not have my books on the first day of class. Especially seeing as they get right down to business.

I also need to roam around campus to make sure I know where all my classes are. Last semester I couldn't find my first class and was a few minutes late. (*I got confused because each building is for a different subject. Like they have a whole building for science and a completely different one for math. I was looking for my English class but instead of being in the English building it was in the math building. Really messed me up.)

Then, I need to get the hang of working at my job if I want to stay there past the fall rush. I really wish I would have gotten some amount of training, but I'll do all that I can. Since it's going to be pretty busy and I'm not completely accurate on the register I get to take people bags and hold it for them. Not really hold it with my own two hands, but in a designated area. That should be loads of fun. (*Not really.) Let me stop complaining. I am very lucky and blessed to have gotten this as my first job. Stop being pessimistic and be optimistic. The worse that could happen is that I wouldn't stay past the fall rush. The best thing about that is that now I will have some work experience to put on my resume' for the next job I apply for. :)

Well, life continues to go on. What an interesting thing life is.
