My Brain is Going to Explode!!

WOW! College is kicking my butt. Whoever thought you could stick so much information in 50 minutes? I sure didn't. This semester I am tackling Calculus 2, General Chemistry 2, Public Speaking and Stats 2050. So far my easiest class would have to be Stats. My most annoying has to be Chemistry because my professor consistently cracks dry jokes that have absolutely nothing to do with the subject. AHHH! It drives me crazy; you can imagine. Then there is Public Speaking. On Tuesday we gave our first speech and I am almost positive that I did mine in 30 seconds or less. What can I say? I was really nervous. Hopefully that changes before the end of the semester or I'll be preparing 15 min speech so I can present for a 5-7 min. Big shocker, right? And then there is the dreaded Calculus 2. Right now I am pretty safe because it is a review from Calculus 1 but when the new material starts rolling in I'm sure I'll be struggling to keep my head above the water. So that's about it for school life. Wish me luck!!

A New Year with new beginnings


Wow! Another year come and gone. It was nice to see 2009 go start with a clean slate for 2010. I was thinking about all that has happened in this past year I began to realize that many changes have been made in my life. At the beginning of the year I finished the last semester of my senior year of high school with all of it activities and friends. Then in the summer I  took the job as main day cook at a local burger joint in town which taught me many lessons of patience and perfection. I was also able to run a few 5k's and attempted a 25k, it was fun to spend time with family and friends doing the thing I love.  As August came I began packing all  of the things that I had accumulated over the last four or so years and prepared to move to Laramie Wyoming where a new chapter in my life would begin. Since coming to Laramie I have learned many lessons about myself and those around me. I have learned that with new knowledge comes new responsibilities and challenges that teach life-lessons.  I look forward to the future with a bright hope of things to come and memories that will last forever!
