Peppermint Mocha

I just registered for the sixth class for next semester bumping me up to 19 credit hours. I will be honest, I am really nervous about it. I know that it will be hard work, but also very rewarding. 

In other news, the purdue judo club was somehow picked host the intercollegiate judo competition in the midwest.  yeah, its not as fancy as it sounds. Really what it boils down to is poor management from the USJA in not getting back to me in AUGUST when I had explained to them that the club didnt have any proper facilities and that we would have to rent them from the Athletic Dep if there were any available. Well, I just got an email from the person coordinating the event asking the same questions I answered months ago and not giving me any new information. AAAHHHH!!

As I am sure you can understand my frustration as to why they waited till FINALS week to try and make me coordinate the event for Feb. 

So I will sip my peppermint mocha 

hey

I suppose me being on here, is the another way for me to procrastinate studying for finals. But I'm going to try and avoid that while I can...I am so relieved that this semester is over; I hated my schedule. But now I only have three semesters left. That's not very much time to do everything that I had wanted to do during college. I'm the type of person to want to try everything, but Judo kind of took over my college experience. I have decided that next year I will not go to judo and do other clubs - and not commit. I just want to try them. 

Also, this is the first year I have ever lived with people I knew before signing the lease. I can't say I like it, but I can't say I hate it. Living with friends is different because sometimes there is a loss of personal space. Like when I am trying to sleep in, my roommate will walk into my room, drop the cat on me, and walk out leaving the door open. I hate that. Or how one of my roommates with go through my bathroom drawers looking for OTC meds. That's the sort of stuff I do not appreciate. But there will always be two sides, like my roommates are generous and don't mind sharing their things. And usually they do the dishes more than I do, but then again...its mostly theirs...

I am ready for that winter break, I think that maybe just taking some time apart will be good for our stress levels. 

School and Family

This upcoming weekend would be a prefect time to go home! Kenny and Hannah will be in town, not to mention Carlos has his citizenship! But. We must not forget that I have school. I have two exams and a large paper due next week. On top of the exams that I had this week. Home takes up money and time. Its hard to only star there for a few hours and spend only a few hours with the family. I would love to have my family come down here, but its hard when you have an awkwardly large group of people in a small apt. The truth is, my life here doesnt mesh well with my life at home. My parents wouldnt quite be understanding. I know bc Ive tried suggesting things at home and they just get torn apart that a bad idea. Im not who my parents want or expect me to be. I dont hold the same values, I dont desire the same things. And I think that its hard for them to accept. So going home is always a challenge. 

ReStart

I'm ready for this new year to start. Frankly, I did awful last year. I think there was just was too much going on for me to concentrate. Classes weren't my first priority. Paying medical bills and trying to avoid the calls of creditors was always on my mind. My life was one bad event after another. I'm ready for the change, I welcome it. I hope this year is polar from the last. 

bank

Ive been to the bank so many times this summer that the tellers know my name and they dont ask for my ID. Even in much larger town, I still get well known. Nice.
