A Very Productive Weekend

Hey everyone!! So last week was the first week of classes, and I think it's going to be an awesome semester.  Crazy insanely busy?  Yes.  But then, I wouldn't be Karen if I didn't have a semester like that.  On the bright side, I have no more worries of calculus or physics during my undergrad career!!!!!!!  I'm in Chem this semester, which will require a bit of work, but I don't think it'll be the same magnitude as calculus, so it's all good.  And I'm back in organ lessons, which is wonderful.  And my Portuguese Literature class is just awesome...and something I really enjoy.  I'm in a couple of geology classes, one of which is geological communications, so it's all about computers and computer programs.
In other news, I don't know if I mentioned it on here or not, but I've been looking for a new job since January, that would have better hours and better pay than I was getting at Heritage Halls.  I've applied to countless places, had a ton of interviews, and finally this last week I got hired at a new place.  It's still custodial work, but it's early-morning custodial (4-7:30am, Mon-Fri).  This is GOOD for me, because I physically and mentally can't study at night, so my working between the hours of 8-5 when I wasn't in class really killed me, because all I'd want to do when I got home was shower and eat, and NOT start my homework.  So even though I'll have to go to bed at about 8:30 every night and get up at 3am daily, I prefer this, because I'll be able to do my homework and study during the morning and daytime hours.  So for me, it's better.  Call me crazy; you won't be the first.  Plus my social life is generally just talking to Renato on Skype anyway, and now that he's started working...weekends!  Haha.  So I'm looking forward to all that's NEW this semester. I finally feel like I know what direction my life is going in, at least for a little while (I still have no idea about what comes after college), and it's a good feeling.
Anyway, today is labor day, and I'm going to use my hours wisely to get ahead on homework and organizing my room a little more, and maybe practicing the organ.  Today is small project day, which I'm pretty happy about!!!!
Have a great week, everyone!  Oh, the link for my blog in Portuguese is kareneogden.blogspot.com

Shades of Gray

Sometimes you think you've seen and heard it all. You look back on your life and think, "wow, I've been through everything." And you realize that you've been friendless, lost people close to you to the dreaded cancer, pretty much failed a class, missed work entirely, didn't know how you were going to pay your bills, been rejected by people you liked, felt lost and aimless, been rejected twice from the dream you've been dreaming, had the car die on you more times than you can count, and the list goes on. On the other hand, you've got amazing friends, the gospel in life, a positive and optimistic outlook, had the opportunity to be an EFY counselor, have an amazing family, travelled a ton, finally found what you want to do with your education, and the list goes on longer than the first. And then you think, again, "wow, I really HAVE been through everything!" And you think you know how to deal with anything that might come your way, because ...

Greased Lightning

It's snowing today! And what a great day it's been...minus the fact that I haven't finished nearly as much as I should have by now. But I DID go outside and play in the snow...and that's important! The snow was fresh in the tree....so I did what any little kid would do, and licked it. It was snow AND ice...good thing my tongue didn't freeze to the tree in my front yard! I love tree branches in the snow. There's just something about the combination of brown and pure white that strikes my artistic bone. Part of the tree and part of my house. Looking up Pennichuck Street. So picturesque. Me in my getup...I borrowed Michael's boots because I don't have any in NH (except for my cowboy boots....), and he gave me his snowshoeing boots, because they each weight like 5 pounds, and he just wanted to see me try to walk in them. My sunglasses made a comeback! Well, that's today. I've got a couple papers to write for English 316, and a bunch of Bio to r...

Hamlet

One of my favorite scenes from Hamlet (which is probably my favorite of Shakespeare's plays) is right after Polonius is murdered. I love the literal yet sarcastic reply Hamlet gives to King Claudius at his inquiry to the location of Polonius. KING CLAUDIUS Now, Hamlet, where's Polonius? HAMLET At supper. KING CLAUDIUS At supper! where? HAMLET Not where he eats, but where he is eaten: a certain convocation of politic worms are e'en at him. Your worm is your only emperor for diet: we fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots: your fat king and your lean beggar is but variable service, two dishes, but to one table: that's the end. KING CLAUDIUS Alas, alas! HAMLET A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and cat of the fish that hath fed of that worm. KING CLAUDIUS What dost you mean by this? HAMLET Nothing but to show you how a king may go a progress through the guts of a beggar.
