Yeah, I’m jumping the gun a little bit today. It’s only the midday of the first week of school and I’m already evaluating it. Such an interesting week this has been for me.

Monday, I woke up early as usual, simply because my internal clock still refuses to reset to a later time so I’m awake by 5:00 but get up at 6:00 even though my classes start at 10:00. I had so much spare time, so I did the only thing I could think of at the time–sat on my bed and lazed around.

My first class was at 10:20 and I was ready for it. Only one thing I missed while I made my way down the stairs at approximately 10:01:58 (ahah), I didn’t know what classroom I was in and forgot to jot that down. >_< So I got on the bus and rushed over to the campus, entered the computer lab and quickly jotted down the classroom number. When I got to the class at 10:25, the whole place was filled with students. Totally embarrassing and I had to find a place to sit. To say that this probably won’t happen again would be an utter lie so I’ll just keep this experience in mind and move on. First days of school.. Ugh.

Second day, my advisor gave me the shock of my life. I’ve been trying to set up an appointment to meet with him about graduating this semester. In my mind, I was sure that I was graduating, so when I got the email message that I hadn’t completed up to 16 hours of work for my Biology minor, I was floored! Talk about ulcers threatening as I sat there, pondering what to do with my life! I emailed him back, explaining what I’d taken and proceeded to stare at the screen for about four hours… A few hours later, I get an email that made me feel like a complete idiot! He said that I was getting a track and not a minor, which meant that the classes I had taken were correct. I still have to meet with him today, but I know he probably thinks I’m the dumbest person on campus! I don’t blame him, I’m beginning to think I’m quite retarded. Ahaha.

Anyway, I guess we’ll see what he says today. Will update later.

Wow… I can officially say that it has been a lifetime since I posted here. Since last year to be exact. My oh my. Many things have happened this–one of them being that I am not as talkative or full of words these days.

An example of what I mean is when my mother told us to write a letter to God asking him for what we expect in this new year. She handed us each an envelope and two sheets of notebook paper. I stared at that page–completely at a loss of what to write. When I finally did, three days later, it was in the form of a list. I was ashamed of myself, honestly, and just put the paper aside.

This carried on with my essays to enter pharmacy school. As school ended for the winter holidays, I assumed I would have time to construct my personal statement and have it sent before the new year, so I opened a word document. An hour later, all I’d typed was backspace, space and delete. I could not think of anything to write. It was pathetic. I suppose you could say that I was feeling extremely burned out from this semester.

Good news was that I came THIS close to making a 4.0 GPA. It was exciting seeing the A’s on my transcript. Then I saw Biochemistry which was the breaking point and rolled my eyes. All things considered, I was relieved that God helped me during this semester, because it was only him.

One of my resolutions for last year was to reevaluate the relationships in my life. Haha, that’s still one of them in this year’s resolutions except my perspective has changed.

Last year, I was deeply disappointed at how ripped off I was at some relationships I “treasured,” and made a vow to only give 50% or less. My father told me once that there are different kinds of friends in our course of life: bosom friends whom we call everyday and who come over to our house even without being invited (those who you share secrets and dreams with), friends who we see in places and chat with them normally, and acquaintances. I seemed to have forgotten that over the years but it’s changing this year. Hopefully, this is one resolution I hope to fulfill.

Ack… Now I’m rambling. I’ll post more tomorrow. Already feeling long winded. XD
