What I have discovered from my first week in college:
1. Sitting still for 3 hours straight sucks just as much as it did before.
2. Turning off your instant messenger while doing homework is the best policy.
3. Home work assignments can be vicious.
4. You read so much that even thinking about picking up a book you actually enjoy reading sounds like a chore.
5. You spend so much time thinking about home work assignments that you actually forget about eating all day.
In a nutshell; this sucks, but this is what I asked for. I want to get the most out of my learning experience. So if I have to read my psychology chapters twice to actually understand the, so be it. If I get basically no social time because home work takes up 75% of my time and actually sitting in class takes up 10% and my son takes up the other 15%, then I will just have to make do.
In other news, I got offered a job at Lowe's and Walmart. Tomorrow I am suppose to go to both stores and take drug tests and criminal back round checks. Now I don't know which job to choose. Lowe's is seasonal, so I am only guaranteed a job until July 28th. Unless they still need people and I am a good work. Walmart will only be giving me 24 hours a week, and will only need my Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Lowe's if offering 9 to 10 dollars and hour. I don't know what Walmart is offering yet. I think it might only be $8 per hour though. So what do I do? Go to Lowe's where I will make more, and be offered more hours but know that I am not guaranteed to work past July 28th? Or go to Walmart where I will make less, but know I will still have a job past the summer time? I am also afraid that if I choose one then decide later I don't like it, will the other job still want to hire me? I don't want to end up loosing the chance to work at a place later, just because I decided to go in the other direction. I am also worried that because school is demanding so much of my time, that I won't be able to function. I don't want to burn out. MCC has a contract with SNHU that if you are a student at MCC and want to transfer to SNHU, you must have a 3.0 grade average. If you have a 3.0 or higher grade average you can get a scholarship of 4 to 5 thousand dollars. I don't want to risk my grade point average because of exhaustion. So much to think about, but I feel like I am running on empty sometimes. I wake up extra early everyday to get studying in, even when I stay up until almost midnight studying. Have I mentioned that I have three quizzes on Monday? AH! I better do amazing on them, because I refuse to do anything but excellence.
In some more other news, I have a girlfriend. I wasn't going to talk about her too much yet because I wanted to make sure she actually stuck around. Knowing my relationships in the best 8 months I tend to get tired of people fast. ( I sound snobby.) I really like her though, I think I'll keep her around =) She always makes me smile, very considerate, and is the most resilient person I have ever met. She's in her second year at SNHU in the culinary program. Which then entails that she can make me nom noms. She also plays football for the team Manchester Freedom. I really enjoy going to her practices and games/scrimmages. Another thing that makes me feel great inside is that she actually thinks about me and is considerate of me. I, in the past, haven't had a partner that actually thought about me during the day. Or wanted to text me just to tell me they miss me, or are thinking about me. I feel unstoppable when I am with her, like I can achieve anything. Fate has great plans for me, I am sure of it.
