Coursework Overload

First, let me fill you in on the week I've had so far (past my last post). I went to a concert where the crowd was fairly mellow (in the area I was standing in), aside from the few obnoxious and (mostly passively-)aggressive pushy girls and moshing boys in the back. Overall, the concert experience was better than I thought it was going to be. From there, I have been in the works of applying to private loans for school, (kind of) silently freaking out about the tuition bill deadline to find that my bill hasn't even been generated yet (what a relief!). And onward from that, I had some quality time with some friends whom I had baked some goods for (they seemed to have liked them, though some may have just been courteous because I tried some later and they were not to my approval). Then I also had some quality time with my mother, sharing some meals and engaging in conversation (reminiscing and discussing my schooling and whatnot). And that is just about the gist of what has happened.
Now, I shall get on with what this post is focusing on. Coursework Overload. What does that mean? Well, I've been working on putting together my schedule because I've been feeling like I have slacked (even though it is summer). Anyways, I made list after list of what courses I may be interested in (as long as they went according to general education requirements or the major's course requirements). These lists went from categories to semesters, which classes I would plan to have during each semester while I'm in school (is this crazy?). Even now, I'm not sure if my planned layout of courses satisfy all points of my major(s) (since I plan to double major). As of now, my layout consists of 6-course semesters, except the first and last semester of my time as an undergraduate.
I'm sad to say that I'm just waiting to head over to my college so I can adjust myself to the college life and get everything even more prepared (if what I've been doing is called preparing anyway). I'm waiting to talk to an adviser or advisers about my plans and if they'll work out. I'm waiting to see if I have to worry about tuition (my poor parents have to help me pay aside from the loan I'm taking out already). I'm waiting to see who my roommate is, or at least what kind of person she is. I'm waiting to see what kind of people I will be meeting and what kind of friends I'll be making (safely assuming that I will be making friends). Pretty much, I'm just waiting. For a bunch of things to fall into place. For a bunch of things to make its place.
Aside from that complaining (if that's what it's properly called), I hope I will be able to handle all the courses I want to take. (And I hope this isn't whining now). So far, I've come up with about 40 courses in the span of 8 semesters in order to satisfy a degree for a major (if that makes sense). I've estimated that 19 of the 40 or so courses are gen. ed. courses. I'm interested in about 36 courses that would satisfy for gen. ed., so I have to choose about half of the courses I actually want (and I'll need to see if any overlap - like my major courses for gen. ed.). As for the major(s) I would like to take, 17 of the 40 would satisfy the major(s) requirements. 17 + 19 = 36, right? So, what's my problem? Well, if I want to also fulfill one of the major's option requirement and complete courses that qualify me for medical school, then I would have to take about 9 more courses. So, that makes 36 + 9, which is 45. And then, I'm not sure if I'll be able to take courses that I'm more interested in taking.
IDEA. (I just came up with). I suppose I can take summer courses, at least like... for one year. Which would make everything work out! (As long as the courses I would like/need to take are offered during the summer, which I shall see and hopefully remember to ask my/an adviser). Yay. Problems get solved!
Until next time!

Sleepless Nights

So, I am here in the middle of the night, having decided to finally start this blog that I've been thinking about making for a while. My idea for this blog, is to share the new chapter in my life in which I will be heading off to college. I would hope to be posting about highlights of post-high school adventures, but also of random thoughts I may have for whomever may be listening.
My first topic that I bring up besides that introduction to my blog is why I have actually decided to start the blog. I've been thinking about making this blog for a while now. Blogs are fun. They're a way to vent. They're a way to let people know what's up. You know. Also, they're a way to be "creative," right? Or maybe the right word is "artistic." Or maybe, neither of those words are correct. Anyway, I've been thinking of when would be the perfect moment to post the blog. Maybe when something big happens for my to-be college life. Well, that happened... yesterday. Well, technically that happened two days ago to be precise. So... what made me hesitate? I suppose, I was actually freaking out when I heard the news. What news? I found out where I would be living in the fall and who my roommate would be. Truthfully, I was a bit disappointed at first because I did not get any of my preferences, but I suppose that can be partially my fault because I didn't know I had to be entered into a lottery for my first option (Which I was not aware of in the slightest at the time), and as for my second, well... I'm not sure. But on with it, I was freaking out. Badly. I couldn't sleep because my heart was racing. "Oh my gosh. Who is my roommate? What if I don't like her? What if we don't get along? What if I don't like the residence hall I'm in?" These are some of the many thoughts I had. I later soothed myself saying that it could be worse. And I'm sure it could. I could have gotten my first option, which was a suite-style dorm with 3 roommates (but there are two rooms, so two people per room), and have had greater odds not to like them. I suppose. And anyways, there's always next year to have that option. This could be a good thing. And also, it IS a regular double, which seems better than a small double.
I realize that I didn't really answer my first topic. The reason why I decided to start the blog now is because, as my title says, I have been having sleepless nights. I suppose it might be because it's summer and there's no need to get up at certain times. But it also might be because I'm more of a night person. Kind of. I find it easier to stay up at night, and partially sleep in. Except, regardless of what time I sleep, I get up at around the same time anyway. But back to the main topic (I feel like I should use a synonym, but I'm rather lazy right now), I've decided to start the blog now because I'm fueled to just vent at the moment. The reasons for my need to vent shall remain unknown for this time being as I do not want to have any straying first impressions. But yes, I feel the need to vent, or rant, or go on tangents, or what-have-you.
Anyways, my next topic shall be about the blog. (And I do realize that I've been talking about it already). But, the blog. I would hope to be writing regularly in this here blog, but I'm not sure how interesting life would get, or how frequent (or not) I would feel the need to post, or whatever more. I suppose I shall try my best to keep posted (or rather keep posting) on my day-to-day adventures (or lack thereof).
I probably have more to say, but I am tapped out of the mood to rant, vent, or what-have-you, any further.
And with that, I shall curl up to a nice book while also searching for new music.
