Finally!
I got through the first semester of college decently. There have been lots of ups and lots of downs. After getting used to the whole college life, things just kept finding their way into distracting me and into angering me, but I’ve worked through it.
Lots of stress flew into me this year at the beginning of the school year. There were lots of things to learn and lots of things to get used to and it all just seemed to be too much! After some recollecting and somehow making everything work day by everything seemed to go down a little, but there was always something to worry about whether good or bad.
The goods that I came across were most of my teachers, a sorority, new friends, and good grades. Then some things went wrong and grades went bad and it was a tough time dealing with it all when I thought that I couldn’t do much to fix it. Thankfully in the end I pulled through and things didn’t turn out as bad as I expected.
Midterms grades looked scary, but since I’ve seen them I’ve worked my best to try to improve them and I think I have. After being a honor roll student in high school and seeping down into a slump it doesn’t feel good at all, so the next semester knowing now what to expect and how to go about thing I plan to get all A’s which was definitely not the case the first semester around.
College is definitely a right choice for me and a great opportunity that I will now appreciate more next semester and the semesters that follow. I will work to my capability from now on.

Christmas 2007
Christmas is around the corner, and I am not in much of the holiday spirit. I usually love Christmas, but this year as of right this second, I’m not felling the holiday spirit. I think it’s because I’m not ready for Christmas yet. It came extremely fast. This year with getting used to college and with having a job around this time, I feel as if life is speeding by.
Christmas means having to do intense Christmas cleaning around the house, putting up the lights, decorating the house, putting up the Christmas tree and the worst of all shopping. Shopping is one hectic thing around Christmas that I dislike very much right now. I love giving and receiving is not something I always expect, so that’s not why I’m disliking shopping, but it’s because all the nonsense you have to go through. It is always hard buying for friends and family whether it’s because you don’t know what they want, or whether it’s because they tell you to save your money and not get them anything at all. Christmas shopping is great when you know what the people you’re buying for want, but that doesn’t seem to happen often. I have to admit that I am one of those people that are hard to buy for because I really never know what I want, so I have an abundance of sympathy for everyone shopping for me.
I wish this holiday can be a bit easier. It’s really not about the presents and I have
definitely learned that from my shopping experience. With all this troublesome shopping horror that comes during Christmas, it is great to see the look of someone’s face when you bought them something they weren’t expecting, or something they wanted and weren’t expecting to get.
Hopefully my Christmas troubles will end and Christmas won’t turn out as bad as it seems.

A Christmas Story
Holiday films are the best! They always get you into the spirit of the holidays. The best holiday movies are the Christmas movies. They are always funny and entertaining. They also always seem to do with the havoc of Christmas shopping and so on or having to do with the peace, love, and care that comes into play after all of the havoc. Some classics and favorites are The Santa Claus series, Jingle All The Way, Home Alone series (some may disagree with the Home Alone series being a holiday film but I believe it is.),and plenty more familiar ones.
There is one Christmas film that my family and I enjoy ever year on Christmas Eve though there are a million favorites we could have chosen. The film is one we will continue to enjoy and this film is A Christmas Story. In this film there are just so many ridiculous things to laugh about. School kids get themselves in trouble and in the worse time of year during Christmas. There are hysterical parts that never get old, such as the kid getting his tongue stuck to a frozen pole or another kid getting wrapped up tightly in winter clothes from his mom that he looks like the Midas mascot(the big white puffy looking dude that looks like a combination of a marshmallow, a ghost and a mummy). This film just has a ton of nonsense that can be enjoyed by the whole family and this is part of one Christmas tradition that will hopefully always stay the same.

New Job
Jobs of course are something you need and I am somewhat fortunate that I found myself a new job. I say somewhat fortunate because I guess it’s great I have a job, but it is a job I wish I didn’t have.
I am doing so much labor in this job and I definitely think I should be getting paid much more than I am getting paid. I work hard five days a week six hours a day, sometimes even more struggling with keeping my mouth shut, so I don’t disrespect he nasty boss that thinks she IS always right when she’s really not even close. I got this job during the holiday season so I hope I won’t be staying after January because I really don’t know how I can put up with this ignorant, disrespectful, nose high in the air kind of person.
This only being my second job I guess I really haven’t seem much of how people could be and how they want things run, but I really think this is one place that will always stick out as being my worst job.
