Today was a pretty productive day for me. This meands that I got out of the house to run a few unneccisary errons. I say unneccisary because I went to Target to buy new clothing , which I only bought two tops and to B&N for a few books. I did buy a new backpack that has more pockets than my simple one I used last year. I didn't realize it, but it has a built in laptop sleeve in it which will be great when I actually have one. Which might be some time from now since I am suppose to be saving up for Europe.
I'll change the subject here just for a bit. It has to do with going traveling next summer. I have a feeling that there is no way I can save up enough money to go. As it is I've only put $100 in my savings/vacation account and I haven't even bought my school books yet. I can see those totaling over $300 which is about how much I have from my paycheck from work. I have another one that is either sitting in my mailbox at work, or will be. Also because I am hoping to go out of state for school I don't think there's any possible way to go and be ready to start a new school. That's my thoughts as of lately, but we all know how I am with changing my mind.
So at B&N I got 3 things, 1)The History Channel Magazine, which is very interesting. 2)Boston travel guide, since I kind of want to move out there and 3) a book called "Professor's Guide to Getting Good Grades in College. The book so far is very helpful. It gives you two professor's views on mistakes student makes and things you can do to get good grades. It's targeted to college Freshman at large universities, but it could work for anyone in college who feels they could be getting better grades. I have read about 1/4 of the book today alone and I am loving what I have read. I am amazed that this book was only published this year and is the first edition of the book. I wish it was out when I was first entering college and maybe I would have made better decisions. It even tells you when you should drop a class and when you should do it. I feel like I've gain a good insight into things and I hope this book will motivate me into getting good grades this semester and help me have a better study and work ethic.
I am still feeling like biology just might not be for me. I am going to see how the first day or two goes and see if I am in over my head or not. If so I will pick up a history class and see what that does for me. I really think it's interesting and might help me in a lot of ways with better writing and research. I am not sure which one I will take, all depends on time and what is availible, but by taking out one bio class that will open several hours of my schedual. And taken marine bio will not be a total lost, because I got a D in it when I took it before and I can get a better grade this time around to bring up my GPA to that 3.0 that I want. If I can get all A's this semester I will be amazed. Though it will show my that I can do well in school despite all my faults. I know that I can't go into bio with the idea that I can just drop it, I have to really evaluate things.
Even though I cannot wait for school to start, I like the idea of being busy again, my brain is still is in vacation mode. I could easily forget that school starts on Monday and miss everything. My brain just seems to think I have another week at least. I do not know how to switch it up so I am ready to go come Monday. I also have to get up very early since my math class is at 7 a.m. Yes, I'm taking it that early. I am not sure how my brain will handle that, but I have several hours inbetween classes so I can get homework done while it is still fresh in my head. Everything else is later one in the day like 10 a.m. That is a spread, but gives me plenty of time to do things other than surf the net at the library.
I feel so hopeful about everything. I hope it works out to how I want things to go.
