Better Late Then Never....sometimes
What's up everybody?! Sorry it took me so long to get blogging, but don't worry I'm ok and I'll make sure I'm top of it from here on out. I seem to have an issue with time. You'd think I'd get a hang of the whole time management thing by now, but I still have a little work to do with that ( I was up until 4 again last night). It really isn't that bad though. I need to keep myself busy all the time.
I should probably let you guys know who I am before I start going on about my lack of sleep. I was born and raised right here in the northside of Minneapolis. I went to Patrick Henry high school and I'm in my 3rd year here at the U. At first, the U of M wasn't my initial choice for a school, but I am really glad I decided to come here. In spite of the time issues, I have had a great experience here so far. I love it here.
I work in a mentoring office through CLA called Access to Success. I have a great time working with freshmen and prospective students so I take every opportunity I can to do so. After I get off here, I have to head to a meeting with one of my professors. She is goiong to help me with a paper that I am working on for her class. Usually I don't get too excited about homework, but this class is actually really interesting and I'm even looking forward to this paper. The course is American Race Relations 3211W. If you think that'd be interesting or want to take a cool class, I would definitely keep that in mind. I really like when you can find a course that genuinely interests you. It makes the work so much easier and that takes away from all of the stress of your other courses.
Even though I am looking forward to this paper, I can't say that I'm not stressing at this moment. Right after I leave my meeting with my professor, I'm on to my final midterm in my Journalism class. This is another class I really enjoy, but I can't say that I have ever really looked forward to an exam. The professor, Brian Southwell is really cool though. I would keep his name in mind for the future if I were you too. I'm feeling pretty good about the exam even though I didn't get to study as much as I would have liked to, but I think it'll go alright.
