Penn State

Hopefully less stressful!

In August, the same day the fall semester started for Penn State, I scheduled my classes.

That was such a stressful day! I moved out of Seton Hill on Sunday, and the next day I had to drive back to return my room key, fancy iPad, and books. Then I drove to Penn State and re-enrolled, quickly scheduled what ever I could that was left,  bought my books, and somehow made it to two classes. I had been enrolled at two colleges in the same day.

I ended up getting an interesting schedule.

At first, I thought that the times/days of my schedule would be hard, but I quickly adjusted. What was hard was the actual classes.

Why did I schedule economics, microbiology, rhetoric, a computer class, and news writing all in the same semester?! I had no choice because I scheduled so late. From late August until still today, I have been working my butt off just to keep up with most of my classes.

I thought that microbiology would be insanely hard. I eneded up LOVING it!

I thought the computer class and economics would be managable. I was wrong.

News writing and rhetoric kept me busy with so many homework assignemnts.

As the semester wore on, I began to feel bad for Jimmy, my family, and friends. I spent so many weekends trying to catch up on school work and had little to no time for anything else. When it came time to schedule for this semester, I was determined to make my schedule less stressful.

For the spring semester I scheduled kinesiology, creative writing, an online writing for the web course, Spanish II, and a communications course.

Here is to hoping next semester is less stressful!!

Have you ever had a really bad/hard schedule?!

A day in my life

Anytime someone posts about “a day in my life” I always love reading it. I am generally interested in other people’s lives and activities! (Or by Pittsburgh standards I am “nebby”) I figured it would be fun to post my own!

Here is a typical Wednesday for me!

5:15AM– Wake up and eat a bowl of cereal + cup of coffee

My hair generally looks something like one of these pictures…

5:35AM – Drive to local gym

6:00AM7:00AM Swim and/or lift weights

8:00AM – 10:30AM Eat an apple with peanut butter, have more coffee, and a protein shake. Read my Bible, pack my lunch for school and pack up my school stuff or finish last minute studying.
