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
