I have been so busy, pretty much going nonstop since, well May. With the end of school, Brandon graduating, going to Colorado/Utah then Italy, coming back, having 2 days then heading up to Denton life has been crazy. This is my first weekend since school started that I have nothing to do- I have all this free time and don’t know what to do with it! I was so used to having free time at Schreiner and I had people to hang out with there. But both of my room mates are at work and won’t be back until later tonight. Brandon is in Lubbock till late tonight as well. I am starting to go crazy here. I realized I hadn’t blogged in a VERY long time- due to life’s craziness- so I figured I would write a quick update to kill some time.

Let me start out by saying what a crazy and packed semester this is going to be!! My classes are keeping me so busy! (Which is a good thing, don’t get me wrong, but like I said, I have had very little free time.) I am taking History, DFST (a class for Education majors), World Literature, Political Science and Health. Political Science and World Literature are going to be the death of me! Those two classes ALONE make up for all the homework I am NOT assigned in my other 3 classes!! In World Literature we have to read and read and read and read! It gets quite tiring and redundant after a while. Political Science keeps me VERY busy because it’s a NextGeneration (or NextGen) course. Basically it’s what all of the college courses will eventually become.  In a normal class the professor lectures and you have tests in class and quizzes in class. In NextGen, the professor lectures sometimes, other times we do activities online, outside of class. We get on Blackboard and there will be games for us to play, quizzes to take, things to read with comprehension quizzes. It’s really neat to do something different, but it’s hard to keep track of all the online things along with my normal class schedule, but I am getting the hang of it.

My other classes are going pretty well. My Health professor encourages us everyday to find a way to make a difference. We watched this video yesterday in class and it brought me to tears. I thought I would share it with ya’ll.

We also watched this video in Health, and it’s just very interesting to see how the world has changed and what changes are coming in the future.

I want to leave you with those videos, maybe I’ll try to muster up some motivation and get some reading done. Who knows.
