WEEK 6!!!

-
Another week in the books! Lots of things happened this week, some good, some bad. Unfortunately my chemistry professor tested positive for COVID so for the next few weeks, we're watching online lectures. Now, I only have one in person class that meets once a week. In some ways this is nice, because it frees up time during the day to work on whatever I need to, but it also keeps me cooped up in my room. So instead of that, I've been getting in the habit of going to the library so I can just get all my work for the day done and over with, and I won't get distracted.

This also helps because, for some reason, the WiFi in my building isn't working in my room. Like right now, I'm having to type this in the lobby area of my dorm, which is about 15 feet away from my room, but for some reason I get service here and not there. 

On a good note, I took part in some October festivities this week. I went with a group of friends to the Harvest Festival the school was having. It came with a free meal and a free t-shirt for students, which already had me sold. I also painted a pumpkin, made some s'mores, and pet some goats so all in all I'd say it was a win, even if I did almost freeze my fingers off. 

I made some progress with other things this week too. I submitted my application to the Humane Society so hopefully I can start volunteering sometime next week. I also made some progress registering at the University of Vienna for my study abroad semester. I was relieved to get it out of the way for about 10 seconds and now I have to start researching housing.

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
