Second semester of my sophomore year of college is going to begin tomorrow and I can't believe it!! I'm not sure if the most shocking part is that it's already here, or that I've actually made it this far. Knowing I may only have a year and a half left is so awesome! I can't wait to be done with homework and figuring out a job. As stressful as I'm sure it's going to be, it will be glorious having no homework or tests. Although I currently have no idea what I'm going to be doing after school, it's still exciting really being able to feel like there's an end in sight.
Anyways... Instead of just letting each day pass by and waiting for every weekend to arrive, I think this semester I want to set my goals a little higher. I want to try and make this semester count a little more.
Goal #1: Not get one C on my transcript. My GPA is already a little low and it won't be able to withstand another blow. This semester will be all A's and B's. I'm actually looking forward to a few of my classes this semester so that should help.
#2: Be productive at work. I've landed the best job on campus and this semester I will have once a week to sit at a computer for 6.5 hours. Luckily it is also at the end of the week, so I will have plenty of time to get my homework done prior to weekend festivities.
#3: Make friends. I want friends in my classes, and therefore will have to try not to look as pissed of as normal in class. Luckily there are no early classes this semester, so I will have plenty of time to actually get ready and not sit with my hood on and arms crossed. :) Friends, here I come!! Please be very undramatic girls that I can get along with.
#4: Talk to my sisters more. I've recently discovered that my sister's and I have more in common than I thought and I want to try and be a part of their world more. Skype is awesome.
#5: Be a little pickier on how I spend my money as it is quite limited.
#6: Read more. Having all the Friends episodes at arms length makes it very easy to do nothing when I don't want to do homework, but I'd like to start reading more. Maybe a little more "grown up" books than Harry Potter as well...although Harry will always be my favorite.
#7: Actually read my Bible. Instead of just pulling it out once a week for Bible study, I'd like to get into it by myself a little more.
#8: Try to find more variety than burritos and mac and cheese in my diet. Luckily mom sent me back with plenty of yummy food to start off with!
#9: Try to limit my stress level and be happy enough with where I am that my sleeping pills won't be as necessary. As much as I love having them, I'm afraid I'm taking them more often and don't want to be dependent on them.
Lastly, #10: Be a little more willing to do stuff on week nights than previous. If I'm going to make friends, I may need to be more willing to actually do stuff.
Although I may be dreading the start of more homework and stress, I want to start this semester with a little more optimism and hopefully take some of the stress off. Everyday I'm going to try and find something to look forward to, in that day, not just the weekend.
Here's to another semester!!
