So this morning when I woke, which was really around 11ish, I realized that my grades should be in.  I was nervous going to check them excepting to see a “D” or at best a “C” for my Psych class.  But instead when I logged in and viewed my grades they showed that I got three “A’s” and and “A-”!!!! I nearly screamed (which would have been bad because some members of my family were still sleeping)!  After I had taken my Psych final I had just about given up any hope that I would pass that class let alone get an “A”!  So I am happy and glad that my first semester of college is over!

Hallelujah finals are over!!  So December 10 was my first final (Sociology) and that day was very wet and rainy.  Then I was supposed to have my next and last three finals on Friday the 12th, but on Thursday night it was freezing rain and the college was closed so my finals were rescheduled to the next Friday. So at first I thought, “That is fine more study time,” but then my finals got canceled again because of a snow storm! So they were rescheduled again for Tuesday the 23.  So on Tuesday I finally got all my finals done and over with! Yeah!

But now I have to wait to see what my final grades will be for the semester. EEP!  I am really worried about failing Psychology because I really don’t think I learned much and I struggled remembering certain things on my Psych final.  I am not worried about my other courses as much but we will see when my grades come in on the 26th of December.

So Monday was my last day of classes for this semester.  Wow!  I can’t believe that the semester is just about done!  It feels so weird, especially since I’ve been homeschooled (I guess it is the same for those in school too), not having a full year of school.  I won’t be starting the Spring semester till around January 20 and my last final is on Friday.  That is about a month of vacation, time I didn’t have in high school.  But anyway this semester was pretty good, except for my stupid Psychology class.  I really enjoyed Sociology and Math, English was good too but I am not a fan of English and all the writing.  I would rather write when I feel inspired or something like that, not forced for some assignment.  So with my first semester of college out of the way it is now onto finals (eep!!!).  I am really worried about my Psych final because I really don’t know if I learned that much from the class.  Most of the class was spent on the teacher’s life and personal experiences, nothing having to do with Psychology.  So the next couple of days will be spent studying like crazy!!!

So it has been forever since I posted on my blog, but I have busy or just not in the mood to blog.  Life has been kinda frustrating lately with school.  I am taking a class with some kind of psycho teacher who can not stop taking about sex or any related topic.   Most of what he says goes against what I have been taught and what I believe, so it is really frustrating listening to the crap that this “Doctor” teaches, by the way this is a Psychology 101 course.  I don’t think I have actually learned much on the subject of Psychology but rather I am taking a course in “sex and the male body.”  Things that my parents tried to shield me from are now being thrown in my face in one short semester.  And what is sad about all of this is that most of the students in this class encourage him to talk about such subjects and laugh at his very crude, suggestive jokes.  I can’t not wait for this class to be over and done with!

So this week I signed up for classes at the community college where I will be a full-time student. This is like a huge step in my life! I still can’t believe that I am actually a college student this year! It feels like just yesterday I was starting high school and now I am in college.

So anyway for my first semester I will have four classes:

• Psychology 101
• Sociology 101
• An English class
• A Math class

But I will be going back soon to retake the English and Math Placement test to see if I can get into a higher level of both. It will be easier that way so that I don’t have to take as many English and Math courses. But either way I am excited about starting college this year and I only hope that I will do well.

Hey guys I took the SATs a little while back and got my results and thought I’d let you know how I did.

• Math - 460
• Critical Reading - 500
• Writing - 480
• Essay - 6 (under the writing section)

AHHHHHH!!!!!! Ok for my past High school years I have had it easier than I will this year. I have a ton of stuff I didn’t think of, like College applications. While studying for the SAT, I came across a “Plan of Action” for seniors (for High School not old peeps) and the senior year of High School. They made the suggestion of finding 4 or 5 colleges you would be interested in going to and apply for them in the fall. So guess what I have been doing for the past 3 or so days…..looking at colleges. And let me tell you THEY ARE FREAKIN EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!!! I was looking at them and nearly had a heart attack at the price for just tuition, one of the cheaper colleges was about $24,500 just for tuition. No books, no dorm, no class, nothing, just tuition! Yikes! Apparently to get into college you need this crazy thing called MONEY, which I don’t have!

So I was thinking of getting a summer job this past summer, as you can tell that didn’t happen, but I was unable because of everything going on and me having to take the SAT prep course and my parents didn’t want to add more on. Then I thought maybe a job over the school year, and that definitely is not going to happen! My school day will probably end around 6 p.m. (if I am lucky!). And I have reports, current events, and book reports just about every month. Again Yikes!

Also this year cause I am taking Physical Education I am to choose a sport or something like that (walking, running, swimming, soccer, volleyball, etc.) and then everyday (Mon-Thrus) I am to “train” myself to be able to meet the Skills Test (Fri). So for running by the end of the week I need to run a mile in 14 min, then each week the time gets less or the miles get longer. Now all you peeps in shape are thinking, “Oh that is nothing. Piece of cake.” Right?!?! Not so much for me. I was never really a “in-shape” kinda girl. Well I was till we started homeschooling and then I really didn’t do P.E. except for riding my bike or swimming, normal stuff. So it is definitely going to be a challenge for me. But with me dieting and then this P.E. class I will be in great shape!!! Oh yeah baby!

Hey, if any of you are interested to check out the “Plan of Action” thingie click here They also have a “Plan of Action” for juniors in High School. I really suggest it so you are well prepared for the upcoming years. They have great tips for lots of things, help with the SAT, and helps you find colleges. So check it out, explore it!

Hey also if you have any tips for me about the running and how not to kill my body, please share *sniff* please!

Hey all! I just celebrated my 17th birthday not to long ago and now I am beginning to feel old! When I turned 16I was like “Yeah baby! Watch out world I am ready to drive!!!”. But know I realize “Wow, I only got one more year till I go to college!”. I need to start thinking of what I am going to do, where I am going to go, and the biggest question-How the heck am I going to pay for it??!!!?. This last year of school (although it is cool to be a Senior!) will be the hardest year of my life! I am taking Physics, Advanced Mathematic, Economics, Computer Applications, Keyboarding, Life Managment (Bible course to help you live a good Christain life), Revelation (Bible course), Speech, Physical Education (in the past years we had no proof that I did it so I have to take it this year), and English 12. That will be 10 subjects! Oh yeah, and I am taking the SATs this fall! That will be great!!! So over the summer I will be taking a SAT prep course and Spelling (because I have to be the worst speller in history!). Anyway I got a lot ahead of me I wasn’t quite prepared for and can only hope I make it out with my sanity!
