Penn State

Schedule !

Hey everyone! Thanks for all of the support about my last minute college switch. Every comment made me smile 🙂

I figured I would show everyone my schedule of classes this semester!

My Monday and Wednesday’s basically stink. I have IST (a computer class), Economics, Microbiology, and News writing. 2 of the classes are an hour and 15 minutes and two of the classes are 50 minutes. Luckily I have a break so I can eat lunch!

Tuesday and Thursday’s will rock. I only have rhetoric for 1 hour and 15 minutes but I know it is a TOUGH course with a lot of work/reading.

On Friday’s I have IST and Economics again for 50 minutes each. Not too shabby!

My course load is going to be TOUGH this semester but I’m excited to get to work. I got a decent schedule for how late I had to schedule.

Home Eats

Now that I am moved back home I have also been enjoying lavish non-dining hall eats…

Veggie + noodle soup

Yes, this picture looks gross but gross looking food is the best, right?! Berry pancakes with peanut butter and maple syrup. Hollie would be so proud of me eating my weight in pancakes 😉

Refried beans a la Susan (peppers & onions!!)

Pink Lady apple with pb and ssb to dip<3333

Jamie and I share a love for cereal in a coffee mug 🙂

Cereal + soy milk + coffee with cream 🙂

Be on the lookout for my next post on the pro’s and con’s of college away and at home. 

Any tips for managing my difficult course load/schedule?!?!

This post is important

I promised everyone this would be an intense post. I will try to make this short!

I’m not going to Seton Hill anymore. At all. 

Say what?! Let me explain.

Waaaaay back before my 2nd semester at Penn State (PSU), I had planned on transferring to Seton Hill (SHU). I made sure to contact the transfer counselor at SHU to confirm that my 2nd semester classes at PSU matched up and would transfer.

She told me that all of my credits but 1 math class would transfer to SHU. Not too shabby!

Everything went swell. I got a scholarship for running and once I moved into Seton Hill I got an iPad and was scheduled to get a Mac. One week had passed since the move-in and I was enjoying the college life.

This past Friday was orientation. I went to meet with my academic advisor at SHU and she told me that only 9 of my credits from Penn State would transfer to SHU. I took 30 credits at Penn State.

I was shocked. They had told me that all of my credits would transfer. Was this real life? Apparently so. I talked to my parents and cried. I decided that I wasn’t going to give up all of the credits that I worked so hard for at PSU.

So Sunday I moved out of SHU and withdrew on Monday (the first day of school for both PSU & SHU). I had to drive there, return all of my cross country gear, return the iPad, return my books, return my laundry key, and room key. The cross country coach was upset with me and didn’t treat me well at all.

After driving home from Seton Hill I immediately went to Penn State (at 1:00 PM) and enrolled there. I quickly scheduled my courses and made it to two classes on Monday by 2:00PM (I missed two in the morning though..) plus I dropped $412 on books in the book store.

I didn’t get to schedule all of the classes I NEED because I had to schedule on the first day of school but I’ll take what I can get.

Monday was CRAZY. I was enrolled in one college in the morning and enrolled at a different one in the afternoon. My emotions were tested and I miss all of my friends on the cross country team but I know God has a reason for EVERYTHING! I never had a problem with PSU and I’m excited to be back.
