Lots of Random Events

Spring break has ended, and so has my week of Spring quarter. Break was nice, I just wish it was summer! I enjoyed many things over break. I got to spend some time with my family, and attempt to change up their lives a little with my presence. Memere's surgery was successful, so that is good. I spend a few days in Louisville visiting with Giselle, Jeff and Andrew. It was fun. I made a meal which Giselle was actually able to keep down every time she had it! That made me feel good. I also got to play a lot with Andrew. And boy did he wear me out! He expected me to play with him!! It was so cute after he was done with dinner he kept asking me if I was done eating and ready to play with him. What a cute kid. I babysat him one day while Giselle was at the doctor's office. The cutest thing he did that morning was playing pretend. I was standing in the kitchen and he comes up to me with a little bowl from his pretend kitchen in the next room and says that he made soup. He brought two spoons so we could both eat it. After we 'finished' three bowls of soup he 'made' more and acted like he was spilling it on me. He would giggle each time he patted the bowl on my leg, arm, stomach... and I'd say "Oh no!! What a mess!" then I chased him as he 'made a mess' all over the entire house. It was so cute. The game ended with me tickling him on the floor. I'd also like to point out that I changed two diapers all by myself that day. The first one must have been successful because it kept all of that afternoon's dirt inside!

Other things that happened over break... I got to spend some time with Melissa and Katie, which was nice. I also got to see Maya and Andrew. I also had lots of doctor reports. One really good one was the eye doctor. My eyes haven't changed for 2 years now, and she said if I want I can have lasik surgury anytime now!!! YAY!! So I'm going to try to figure it out for this summer. I can't even imagine being able to look over to my clock and be able to see it. Or not have to search for my glasses.

My first week of classes was hectic. I already had my first biochem quiz. This quarter is going to be a lot of work. The most annoying thing is how many of my classes are dependent on printing off notes, but don't have them prepared so there isn't a place where I can buy them. It wastes so much of my time to be printing off everything. Time I could spend studying. That is one thing I don't mind complaining about online. I think it's rediculous that so many of the classes at this university are going to a "paperless" society, when all it means is a "you print it out yourself and use your time to do it" Sigh. Oh well. My greatest problem with it happens when there are so many notes I can't copy them down while the teacher's talking... which is my best way of learning. That is how I commit things to memory: I hear the teacher and can see what they're saying as I write it down. 3 things at once. We'll just have to see where this quarter takes us. Most of my teachers seem good. I won't mention much about who though, because I just don't think that's appropriate or necessary. Next week: 2 quizzes, and possibly a pop quiz and a pop in-class writing assignment. Who hoo...

Crazy

So the title of my blog is "The Crazy Life of a College Student". I must note that I used the word crazy for many reasons. My life is not all that exciting, nor is it entirely boring. My life is just... crazy!! Which is why I do not update very often.

So the second quarter of my 3rd year in college has finally ended. Wow was it a busy quarter. I think I study more every quarter. Fortunately, between my freakouts and hardwork... I managed Deans List again, and boosted my GPA. So, I'm happy. I can now say that I am done with Physics FOREVER, and done with my Ochem lectures. Next quarter will be even busier, but I'm excited to have two classes with Cecelia. And I know i have a good professor for History. Hopefully I can manage my stress again next quarter.

Some things I have not updated about... I got to spend a wonderful day with my sister Kate a few weekends ago. We had a great time together. We ate at a wonderful Indian restaurant for lunch, then spent a few hours painting pottery, and then caught up with Colin and Greg for dinner and play time. Colin absolutely adores me. Mom keeps saying it's just because he doesn't know the difference between Kate and I... but I think it's because he knows me!! After all, he never calls me mommy!

So spring break is here, and I'm now going to spend some time with the family. I'm excited about my trip to Louisville next week. Giselle may be feeling sick, but I don't mind helping out! After-all that means some good time with Andrew, who is just adorable. And the rest of the time I'll spend seeing what I can do around the house.

But today is St. Patty's day, and I'm in Columbus. I'm debating what to wear. I have green tank tops, but it's about 34 degrees outside. And I have a green shirt with a snowflake and red font which says "Happy Holidays". Needless to say, I'm not stocked with stuff for St. Patty's day!!
