my second week of college was a lot better than my first ! i met wayyyy more people and im really starting to get in the swing of things ! i've learned that you really have to manage your time. ssso now when i get assignments i try to work on them right away and look over the assignment a day or two before its due. anywayssss im really excited about going home this weekend for labor day. i can't wait to see my family and my friendssss ! :) thats like all i've been thinking about since i've been here reallyyyy .. going home ! which is saddddd but im THAT homesick. but i mean its kinda bitter sweet now because i've gotten really close to my roommate and i really like my classes nd all my teachers ! .. just gotta take this whole experience one day at a time .. 

sssoooo basically college is totally different from high school. you have a outline for the semester with all your assignments and lectures. which is pretty cool. i like the fact that all my classes aren't everyday back to back like in high school. gives me time to take a nap between classes and do homework for the next class if i need too. only negative is that im homesick ! sure it feels good to be out on my own and away from home but not this far and not this longgggg.  i really miss seeing familar faces and being surrounding by people i love and people who love me. my first week i felt really alienated, like i didn't belong here. i'd go to class and then back to my dorm everyyyyday. which isn't a bad thing cause i could stay focused and get a head start on some assignments but who really wants to spend an entire school year doing that same thinggggg day after day. so i figured i'd try to get involved in some clubs or join a team. this pass saturday i tried out for the dance team and i made it ! it gave me a chance to meet some new people that shared a similar interest as me and took my mind off being homesick. i also plan to audition for the collaboration models club today. which will keep me from just sitting in my dorm doing a whole lot of nothing. so now i feel alot better about being 3 hrs from home .. i still miss it but now that i have a couple things to look forward to this year .. im excited ! i really like all my classes and professors and so im not worried about grades at all either ! another thing that keeps me from being homesick is ichat .. which is my new best friend. i can live chat with my family and my boyfriend<3 everyday. so basically i can see them anytime i want. im really looking forward to labor day weekend ! only 10 days left and i can go home ! :)
