Well, I'm finally back at school, living comfortably in my new apartment. Moving in was much less stressful than last year. Now that I've been here half a week, I feel as thought the apartment is a home away from home. Unlike my dorm, I don't feel awkward or alone. Living here has really lowered the stress of being away from home.
For a more homey feel, my roommates and I have been cooking for ourselves. It's not too difficult. Tonight, we completed our second completely home-cooked meal: Greek-inspired chicken in a crock pot. The dish was good, even though it was a bit under-salted, a correctable miscalculation.
In regards to school itself, I have to say that I think I am going to enjoy my classes this semester. My Italian Renaissance Art class is interesting even thought I have to read SOOO much for it. I'm so interested in the lectures it makes me wonder why I'm not majoring in art history. My conversational Spanish class should be interesting. The professor is crazy, but believe it or not, I can actually understand her. My biggest fear: getting tongue-tied/brain fart. International economics should be okay. However, it's one of my classes in which I consciously yawn. Not as interesting as art history, but perhaps it will get better. Also, I have two science classes this semester. They will be the only science classes I will ever take in college. My two professors for those couldn't be more opposite. My meterology teacher is a young, doctoral grad-student, where as my energy and environmental enginnering teacher will be out of class next week because was called as an expert witness in a court case in Louisanna, or some state like that. I'm most anxious for my business law class because that's my tentative career path at this current moment. I hope that I do well in it and find it interesting. If not, there could be trouble...
Over the beginning few days of the week, I've been feeling really inspired and intrepid. For Spanish, I feel like really taking my learning to the next level by watching movies and reading novels in Spanish. I've been outlining most of my reading material. I want to join so many clubs too. Tonight, I may possibly join the swing dancing club, and in the beginning of next week the ballet club will hold its placement classes. I want to try to get into that again because I really miss the stage. However, as always, I fear that I'll have time commitment issues, an impediment that constantly halts most, if not all, of my extracirrcular illusions of grandeur. Decisions, decisions. Additionally, I have my business club and honor society to attend to. I should probably become more involved in one of them.
Oh, mentioning business reminds me that I have to revise my resume and coverletter and have them reviewed by Career Services before the Career Fair on Sept. 16. Also, I should probably research the companies where I might intern/work. I should do that this weekend, because the 16th is going to arrive quickly.
Time has been flying by lately. I don't know what it is. Maybe the reason is that I'm actually being productive after a summer of almost complete leisure? Who knows? At least I'm having fun.
