Graduating!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am graduating this summer from Richard Bland College and will be attending William and Mary in the fall, I graduated from Thomas Dale High school last year!  I will finish up my associates degree this summer by taking 18 credits and then start my degree at William and Mary.  I am more than excited to start and leave Richard Bland.  Transferring out has been such a difficult process and I have had a difficult experience getting everything together.  My advisor and professors have helped me the most here but everyone in the upper levels here do not know what they are doing at all.  William and Mary has been extremely helpful and they are allowing me to try out for their cheerleading team on april 19th which I am super excited about!  I cannot wait to be at William and Mary in the fall and actually having the college experience.  I'm taking classes at 3 different colleges this summer to finish my degree because they do not offer certain classes here that I need.  With taking 6 classes I'm relieved that majority of them are online!  This will help me with dealing with vacation, and working this summer so I don't have to take time to physically be in school.

how to become a writer

This was a good short story because it was easy for the class to relate to.  Francie the main character was a college student which we all can understand.  I wrote my essay for relating to a character on this story.  Francie was really easy to relate to because she explains the trouble of college life.  She describes living in a dorm and trying to figure out your major.  She also says how she changes her major and was doing something she ended up being unhappy with her major.  Everyone always has trouble deciding what their major is, and will always change it.  Rarely there are people who stick to their major.  The influence of your friends and peers can effect your major choice too.  When she wanted to write her friends and peers were asking what she writes and questioning her.  Being in college is the best time of your life, but you work very hard.  Having fun is always important but figuring out what you want to do for the rest of your life is a hard thing to do.

the glass movie

The glass movie was about a crazy mom and the son goes away and tries to leave and is always"the movies", the daughter Laura is obsessed with glass figurines, Laura goes in the park to hang out but is supposed to be going to business school.  There were many lessons in this movie.  You should not lie to your crazy mom because once she catches you she'll go even more crazy.  This movie took us three days in class to watch, Sweeney ended up falling asleep in class on the last day…This movie was an old movie, and kind of boring obviously.  I thought that this was a weird movie, when the son would always say he was going to the movies because it's a form of adventure for him. I think the kids wanted to get away from the mom because she was crazy and they would find things to do just to get out of the house.  We did a review game in class today that helped us go over the movie.  This helped once we finally got in our groups.  My class is very difficult and doesn't like to do what Sweeney likes to do.  This game helped us know the movie/story better.

white ink??

Considering getting a white ink tattoo sometime soon.  I have one tattoo just done in black ink and want something different and subtle so I thought white ink would be a cool idea.  After going to the tattoo shop today i've learned that a lot can go wrong with the coloring.  Some turn yellow or even gray.  I am pretty dead set on a white ink tattoo though and have seen long term ones that I love.  Majority of them look like a scar but that's what I love about them.  One girl I know has a white ink tattoo and has not went back to get it touched up in since she first got it 2 years ago.  I want a cross with a bible with a specific book name, chapter number, and verse number underneath it.  I would love for this tattoo to be on the back of my neck so in case something does go wrong my hair would cover it.  For these to heal properly and get the best effect you need to take very good care of them.  Anyways I would love to get this tattoo soon and pray that it turns out well!  Hope everyone has had a good start to the semester!

back to school

    Well everyone had their first week back to classes and I'm sure everyone has the same reaction.  Going to school after a break is so hard to get back into routine because you break it over your vacation.  Personally this semester is already seeming difficult given the fact that I am taking 19 credits, or seven classes.  I am going to regret this on the weeks where every professor decides to give a test the same day or even now as I have been doing homework since 10 o'clock this morning; but it is all so I can be at William and Mary in the spring of 2015.  Since I graduated high school in June I have not had a break from school, I was doing summer classes all summer and jumped right into the fall semester.  I am ready to be at William and Mary and to be at a four-year school.  I am hoping this semester goes by quickly and that I will be able to do well in all of my classes.  Thankfully 3 of my professors this semester I have already had so I know how they teach but my other 4 are all new to me.  I have no idea what I want my degree to be in and what job I will want so I hope within the year I will figure it out before I get to William and Mary.  Hopefully everyone has a good start to their semester and that it goes by fast!

Just a little bit of football injuries

This is my boyfriend Aaron, we've been together since we were in 8th grade and our freshman year of high school he played varsity football for Thomas Dale.  He would go to football combines over the summer and he was playing a 7 on 7 at UVA and clearly got tackled.  He sent me this picture and I've saved it, I think it is so funny and he'd be so mad if he saw this.  :) He had this black eye for about 2 weeks and his eye was so red!  I felt so bad but this face will never get old!

Out of class assignment two

The same weekend I went to Radford I also visited Tech, I loved Tech way more than Radford the school was gorgeous!  It reminded me a lot of William and Mary it had an old look to it and I would love to go there if it was not so far away.  Tech was much nicer than Radford and it was fun as well.  Although I loved the look of Tech better I do have to admit Radford was much more fun.  Virginia Tech has a very unique look to it that make all of their students fall in love with the campus!  I am so sure that if Tech was not so far away I would go there, but I cannot be hours away from home.

This is my best friend Kelly who goes to Tech I stayed with her and had tons of fun catching up with her.
