Week 3!!

-

     So I've officially been here for a month and it seems like it's been so much longer than that. It's been a great week! Three weeks into the semester and I've finally had my first normal week. I rode the bus to yoga class for the first time and I'm excited for that class. We spent most of the time doing some basic beginning yoga stuff and she taught us about the more technical things involved in breathing and posture. I also took the bus later in the week to go to the gym. It was my first time running in about 4 weeks since I had been training for the half marathon I didn't get to do (sad). I just did 3 miles and it was a little rough but I've gotta start somewhere so at least I got out of bed. 

    I also met up with some friends and we had a potluck dinner. We went to Kincaid park and had a bit of a picnic. It was cool for a while but then it started raining so we went back to my dorm where we played some airhockey and a few rounds of a card game (called trash which I used to play all the time when I was younger). I didn't win but thats ok (it's not ok). 

    My friend group in high school used to do this thing everyday where we would list our 'win for the day' which would be something good that had already happened or something we were looking forward too. My friend Grace reminded me because she does it on her instagram sometimes so I think I want to include something like that in my blogs. This week it was more of a good series of events really. I went to my Chemistry class and took good notes (and actually understood the information), then I got a really good smoothie, and then I got to check out the library and got some work done there. Very different than T Coop, it was much less crowded.

    So I'm finally starting to get into a rhythm here which is great! I think my goal for this week is to get used to getting out of bed when my alarm goes off and starting my day. Whether that be going to class, going to gym, or going to get breakfast before the dining hall closes breakfast at 9:30. I'm also trying to see if some of the parks nearby would be good places to run so I don't have to go long distances on the treadmill. That'll be another update for next week!

    I love that point in the semester when I finally get settled. When i know when my classes are, where i need to go, my work times. It makes everything seems so less stressful.

First Week Recap

-
     So far so good. I was able to get a negative COVID test result, so I got to attend my Chemistry class. It took a second to work through the format of all my online classes but this week was only introduction assignments. All except Chemistry of course, we started right off with the first chapter of information and a nice easy 176 question homework assignment. I caught up with all my work over the weekend so hopefully this week won't be so bad.      There are still a few things I need get more used to around campus. I have to figure out the bus system so I can get to some of my classes. I also want to go to the gym at some point but needless to say, running long distances on a treadmill doesn't exactly motivate me since they don't have a track.      All in all there is not much to talk about. I have a few plans for next week, but I'll save it for the next blog!

WEEK 8!!!

 I figured out that I skipped a week when I changed my blogging day from Monday to Saturday so I had to catch myself up with my titles. This week was another interesting one. I did find myself at the library everyday this week to do work. However, as of literally 5 minutes ago, my WiFi starting workng again. After multiple calls and emails and tests all they had to do was reset the router. Of course. At least I got comfortable working in the library, I think that'll come in handy if I just need to switch up my environment to focus on my work.  I made a bit of progress with my study abroad plans. I've finished setting up my student account and narrowed down some housing options. I just need to apply to a few dorms and figure out a few more classes to take while I'm there.  Overall another well-rounded week. I went out for sushi with some friends, took a walk thorugh the trails behind my dorm (even though it was because I had to build a rock tower for my art class, it was sti

WEEK 11!

-
 Another week gone by, this one was weird. I really didn't have a lot to do this week so I took the liberty of giving myself a mental health week. I slept in most days and read a lot and watched a lot of TV. But honestly it was a much needed break, and next week will go back to normal.  I finally achieved one of my goals and I saw a moose on campus! I was just walking to my chemistry class and there were two moose (mooses?) just standing right outside. I'm very glad I looked up because I feel like I could've just walked right by them and not even noticed. I have plenty of videos, unfortunately I didn't think to take a picture to post on here. You'll just have to take my word for it.  I went to go see Eternals on Friday and I loved it. I had no real prior knowledge on who the eternals were so I had no guesses on what the plot was, but I was happily suprised. The two post-credit scenes did not disappoint. If you've seen it then you know exactly what I'm talkin
