Okay so I'm finally getting back into the swing of things. I'm going to start blogging more seeing that I'm not as boring as I was over break.

My schedule is pretty straight forward. Not like last semester at all. I dropped English because it was at 4, which is a long time after all my other classes. As a commuter (I just wrote computer, haha) I don't have time for these gaps. So now on MWF I have classes from 10-1 (roughly) and on TTh I have class from 11:30-12:45. So far I love all of my classes and they're not TOO early. I'm excited overall. Then from 1-2 I have my radio show. I don't know what to call it though - More Cowbell wasn't really a hit last semester, but it WAS at 8 which was very late. Hopefully this semester it will be better. The only thing that might stink is that the office is going to be bustling (I loved it when I was alone doing my shows) and that my friends might not be able to be guests as often. I'm looking forward to starting up though.

Anyway, my first class of the week is Ethics with Legas. I honestly hit a jackpot with her because she's so energetic and cool, but she's also sarcastic and strict but in a good way. I talked to a friend of mine and she said her Ethics class makes her want to pass out. The people in my class aren't OVERLY friendly (I was given a series of strange looks when I joined a group for an activity the other day) but things should get better. That class is the only one I need to get a book for, which is going to save me a LOT of money. I'm thoroughly excited about that.

My next class is CJN103 Presentation Skills and I am honestly in LOVE with it. My professor is Power and he REALLY opens up our minds. I talked to my friend who has him as well in another section and she said that he was calling my class sheep who obey him when we don't even know him. I just laughed though because he's the type of guy who makes jokes. This guy Alex and I became friends on Friday. He's really great. We both thoroughly enjoy the class and I think that having someone to be social with in the class is going to help me be more motivated towards it.

My third class is Art History II. I missed it on Thursday because I've been sick all month with a series of different things and Thursday was a bad day, but I really like my professor. I have Prof. Cramer and he seems to really have a passion for art. However, I chose a seat in the back of the class just because I don't like when people sit behind me and on Tuesday I'm going to take a seat at the FRONT ROW because he talks so softly! I'm looking forward to start learning some incredible things though.

Anyway, it looks as though my car is going to be back tomorrow (we FINALLY got it fixed after lonnnggg months) and I'm looking to sell my old books soon. Talk to you all later!

Winter break has made me so lazy! I haven't blogged in nearly a month! However, with no school, there's really nothing to say. Well now that it's a new year, some changes have come about.

Firstly, it looks like I won't be returning to Suffolk for spring semester. Apparently I still owe them about $2,000 that I just don't have. Campus Cruiser tells me that I have over $25,000 available for 07-08 and when I subtract all of my debits, I should have a $740 or so credit. But instead, I somehow owe them almost $2,000. So, I'll be taking Spring semester off and getting a full time job. I want to make sure I'm financially stable before I go back to school. I'd also like to move out and move closer to the city/T so that it won't take me an hour to get everywhere. Hopefully I'll return to school in the fall, but it will be at UMass Boston. I can't take out another loan, so hopefully I can use my MCAS Scholarship.

Just though I'd update you all on this situation :)


SEE YOU ALL ON MONDAY! Apparently things worked out because my classes haven't been canceled. Therefore, I will be returning to Suffolk on Monday! I'm excited. Haha.
