Sickness Season

Wow, so it's been about 3 weeks since I last posted. I apologize for the lack posts. I suppose I didn't realize how hectic college life really is. I'm still transitioning and trying to settle in on campus (surprising, right? It's been like a month already).
Anyways, a lot has happened in three weeks. As of now, I am currently sick (hence the title), and a lot of other people are sick. It must be cold/flu season. Also, the weather's just been all around. Well, it's actually been getting really cold. I need to get some winter clothes ASAP. I seriously don't have any and it's cold like all the time, except those times when it's oddly warm (probably because I'm sick).
Today was actually pretty funny because I've been super delirious. I ended up taking two naps and each time I woke up from the nap, something felt off. Also, I just wasn't sure if the things that were happening were really happening. (You probably can't tell, but I feel so rushed to write this. There's so  much to catch up on if I can remember it). I tried taking some cold medicine today (before my second nap) and that was really bizarre. I felt really loopy and I checked the medicine and it said non-drowsy, but I think they lied. I was just so out of it, I practically stumbled into bed. I'm glad I even got into my dorm and bed safely. It was a struggle. I also took an exam tonight which was fun (not) but it was okay. I guess.
Let's see... Some things that stand out from what I'm remembering that I would like to talk about are just like little things I suppose. Like, one time in the dining hall, some guy was on the phone and stopped to compliment my socks. :) Well, gee. Thanks! Then, yesterday, I wore a really random outfit where I wore my socks (thigh-high) outside of my pants, which felt weird, but I wanted to be warm. I also wore a cardigan (a new, cute one that I got recently!) over a long sleeve v-neck and I also wore a scarf. It was quite a site. People didn't compliment me or comment on it... That didn't really make me feel any better, but if they got laughs out of it, then okay! I also had a speech I had to present yesterday, and a chemistry exam. FUN. I'm not sure how I did on either. Probably not that well, but I'm going to blame the sickness-ness of my sickness. Not that that makes sense anyway, but it's okay, because it's the sickness...
What else happened... Well, I got my first job! I am now officially a Starbucks employee! This might sound weird, or maybe just really girly, but Starbucks has been my dream first job since like forever. So then that came true. How exciting, right? I love working there! Everyone is so nice and everything. :)
I've also been trying to meet people in my classes and that's been going alright. I also have these blogs I have to write for one of my classes. That's okay. I'd much prefer to be writing in this blog here. And I once again apologize for being M.I.A. I've been trying to update my iPod without much luck because I've been putting that off. It's really hard because I'm just making a ton of playlists and am unsatisfied with the outcome thus far. Classes have been fun. I joined clubs. I learned to juggle if I hadn't said that already! That's really fun. I try to practice a lot. I've been trying to make friends. I've been trying to get everything all fine and dandy (tuition bills and whatnot). I'm trying to learn to study and trying to get some random, pleasure reading in.
Anyways, all in all, it's been pretty busy. I'll try to check in more often, especially since I have such a horrible memory and otherwise I wouldn't be able to talk about anything. But, until next time!

Frazzled Freshman

So, I know it's been a while... again. But I mean, I just had my first week of school. Not to mention my first weekend after my first week of school. So, how's school been? Busybusybusy, I must say. I've gotten up to 6 classes, but recently started questioning one of the classes I'm enrolled in. Like, I took the class in high school and am beginning to wonder if I have to really take it again... Is it necessary?
Anyways, school's been a blast. I mean, I haven't had the best time health-wise, but experience-wise, I am really enjoying the school and atmosphere and the people. The course-work seems fairly easy, except for chemistry... Chemistry is going to be a toughie. I'm hoping that I can get help from my peers throughout the year (although I also hope that I figure out how to do the work on my own as well). I mean, a lot of people are taking chemistry. I like the subject, but right now, it just isn't working out for me. I'm getting stuck on some parts, and that's a bit stressful, but I suppose I'll learn to deal with it.
So this also actually brings me to the part where it's only been a week of school. To me, it seems like it's been forever. Well, not forever, but a while. I think of all the people I've met and all the things that have been happening. Things happen quick. Of course they do, but it's all been a blur - quick. Maybe that's why it's been hard for me to concentrate and to be motivated to do work or even just write in this here blog (well, not to mention that I have to have three other blogs for a class - though, those blogs are more... opaque at this moment (and I apologize if I misused that word, but I cannot find a good word to express what I'm thinking - story of my life, right?).
Just recently, I've gotten my tuition bill. I'm not sure how to go about that. Are my parents going to pay for it? Am I expected to pay for it? Is the school going to kick me out if we can't afford the payments? What is going to happen? Well, I'm fairly stressed about that, but a friend of mine has been trying to calm me down by teaching me to take things one at a time (because I have a bunch of other issues in my mind as well). So, as this week goes on, how am I going to deal with my whole tuition fiasco? I suppose I shall also take the advice of other students and talk to the student aid office and whatnot. Also, I should take things one at a time, and also focus on my actual course work and assignments, like this film I'm supposed to be watching tomorrow (or rather later today/tonight).
There's a bunch a bunch of other things on my mind as well. Like what? Well, aside from the whole financial issue, I've got my health to think about. I just recently bought medical insurance (student medical insurance) thanks to my dad. (Bless him!). I was all worried about how much it would cost if I had to go to the emergency room again. So, whenever I get my insurance card/ID thing, I can go get check-ups whenever I want. Not to mention, I can join the clubs that I've been interested in (since most of them seem to be asking for some sort of insurance, in case). Then, aside from those two issues, I've also got my own mind to worry about. Apparently, I think too much, if y'all hadn't noticed. What a shocker, right? So, I'm thinking of checking up on that some time soon, since, I mean, I should try to be in my right mind, right?
Anyways, I suppose I should head off to bed now. I'm guessing I am going to be trying to update this blog weekly or so. There's just so much to say and so little time (well, I actually seem to have a lot of time and no motivation really, so we'll see how this goes).
Good night to all, or good morning, or evening, or afternoon. Until next time!
