Thanksgiving is around the corner

All I have to do is make it one more week, then I will be able to finally relax and eat some turkey! The rough part about going on break is that half of my break will consist of driving from Michigan to Chicago, to Green Bay and then all the way back to Michigan. It will all be worth it though because I'll get to see my family, eat lots of food, and not have to sleep in a loft. And then of course I have the holiday season to look forward to!

Homework and Projects All Day Everyday

My last couple weeks have consisted of homework, projects, more homework, and more projects. I feel like I don't have time for anything. All I want to do is have a little fun, and be social again!!I feel like if I work on my time management, then I might get the chance to get out of my dorm room. My goal for the week is to get done everything I need to, without wasting any time on non-important things. I should really try to find a blog about time management skills.

I was very entertained by our group debates about who should live and die in the survival situation. I thought my group did a really good job logically, and listened to each others opinions well. What I'm not too happy about is that we have so much work in this class going on at one time right now. I'm really stressed with when I'm going to have the time to rewrite these papers, plus everything else that got thrown at us. I'll manage, but I won't enjoy it.

Michigan is where I am meant to be

Ever since I was younger, I always would say that I would go to school in Michigan one day. Flash forward and I'm 18, and look where I am now. Being from Chicago, its like a similar but completely different world living in Michigan. People here go to Tim Hortons (which I never heard of) instead of Dunkin Donuts, and no one knows what Portillos is???? Everyone will smile, hold a door open, and say hello to you here, instead of walking by and never looking back. It's strange but I love everything about it. I feel like one day I could call Michigan my home, and get used to being so close to the beach, which is where I'm meant to be.

Today we spent a large amount of time trying to create a simple outline for  a short story as  a group. I didn't think that it could be so complicated that even when you have so many minds working together, it still takes several attempts to create an outline that fits the piece right. I learned that you don't summarize the ideas in an outline, but you must provide certain evidence, like specific events, to prove your interpretation or idea of the piece.

I forgot to check my E-mail on GoWMU, and missed the memo that we did not have class on Friday. It made me feel better that I was not the only one who had done the same thing! At first, when I found out, I was kind of irritated, because I had gotten out of bed and had gotten dressed, but a couple seconds later I was very happy that I still had gotten up because that meant I could finally eat breakfast! I never have the time to stop and get breakfast in the morning and had forgotten what good eggs and waffles and toast had tasted like. So  a big shout out and thank you to Mickey for canceling class so I was finally able to enjoy the most important meal of the day.

Thankful

This weekend really put into perspective how thankful I am for many of the people in my life. Its good to know that even when you drift away from those you used to spend everyday with, that they still look out for you in times of need, or make hard decisions because they want what's best for you. I suppose I've got the best of both worlds... having people there for me when I need them, and having them there even when I don't need them.
