WEEK 15!!!

-

It's finally here! The end of the semester! Finals week went by very slow, as always. I finished up all my finals pretty successfully. I still have a bit more work to do though. I met with my biology professor a few days ago and she's still accepting any homework and exam corrections we want to submit. It was a lot of work, but in the past two days I retook 2 exams, did corrections for one of them, and did a primary literature evaluation all on top of taking the two attempts we're allowed for the final. I still have to complete one more homework assignment and end-of-the-semester survey before my flight tomorrow. Then all I have to worry about is cleaning out my dorm, doing laundry, and finishing packing. And requesting my transcript. And getting Christmas gifts. And getting back on the schedule at work. It's a busy time.

I'm really looking forward to going home. I miss my family and my friends from home. I did pack in a good last week of activites though. Obviously the week was very busy, but I rewarded myself by going to see West Side Story on friday. I thought it was fantastic. Beforehand, I didn't really have any expectations. But as soon as the music started in the opening scene, I got so excited. It brought back a lot of memories from concert band in high school. We played the whole West Side Story symphony, which was about 30 minutes, so I knew the music pretty well. It was also during this time that I watched the original movie. I thought they did a fantastic job of sticking to the integrity of the original. I would highly recommend it to anyone. I also hung out with my friends for the last time tonight. We made hot cocoa and played cards. 

I'm sure the next 48 hours are going to be packed with stories, so I will wait to reflect on my whole semester until all my work is done and I'm settled at home.

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
