Frühlingszeit: German for “Spring time”.

Temperature: 62F

Watching: Shrek 3 (nothing else on TV)

I’ve been reading some blogs lately and I just feel like updating out of randomness and slight nostalgia. :]

Life is a lot better than it’s been as you can see from my previous entries. It’s not 100% perfect nor as carefree as when I was little but manageable. Mum and I get along a lot better now, which surprises me. I got my car fixed, finally. I was driving mums truck for 2 1/2 – 3 weeks and it was really nice. Her boyfriend fixed it and I told her that I said thank you. I still don’t feel like talking to him nor seeing him until my computer screen gets fixed. It’s a bloody reminder from the weekend of why I don’t want to see him. It’s like the reminders across Europe of WWII. Shattered windows and bullet holes through buildings and cathedrals in the major cities of Europe. This whole year of school I’ve had to look through the cracks and move my windows around in order to see stuff on my screen. Ugh, it sucks.

Also, back in September or October the original hard drive that came with my computer crashed. I was without a computer for a few weeks. -_- My heart nearly stopped a beat. I remember going through steps of calmness testing stuff and reassuring myself that my HD was still alive. I just had to keep restarting and hitting buttons, my mind told me. But secretly, my heart knew that Aeolus had passed on. (lol, sounds silly but I need humour in my boring life).

I didn’t lose to much stuff, just a few papers that I wish I still had and a lot of letters that I wrote. Boo. Oh well, life still goes on. That’s just a path of life that crumbled away, to say that I can not return to it ever again. :/

I’ve been doing extremely well with school this semester which surprises me so much. I say this because I’m passing my math class and doing pretty darn well with it, too! :] If you know me really well, which I hope you would, you would know that math is not my favourite subject by far. It’s the only subject that I took twice of each year in high school except my first semester of ninth grade and all of senior year. It’s kinda sad, since my major, Computer Science, requires a math degree. Once I, if I, finish my degree I could be a math teacher if I wanted. This is not something I would like to do.

But we have had three tests so far in my Trig class with my Korean teacher (she’s really cool. I had her for College Algebra, she’s easy and a little hard to understand at first but a really good teacher. She makes me laugh a lot and not feel bad in math.) and I made a 50 something on the first one. The second one I made a 55 the first time. Hey, stop before you make an “O” shaped face with a sigh. There were only like three people in the entire class that passed it. Mrs. Fitton was sad and I think it made her sick that half of the class failed her test. She let us go after giving back the tests and said she would give us the same test but with different numbers in the equations. I went to tutoring and somehow understood the stuff on the test and well I made an 80 the second time around! It made my day and I literally smiled until the end of class and the walk to my car. Mrs. Fitton was surprised that I did so well, haha.

We just had our third test last week over stuff about triangles and well that stuff was so EASY! I think I passed it. I didn’t really try doing the word problems, I despise and loathe them. We have one more test to come and then a final. Mrs. Fitton will drop my lowest test grade if I don’t miss any days of class, so if I do well on the next two tests. I think I could come out with at least a B. :]

Other than that I think I’m failing my Computer Science I class. haha and it’s my major class. The only thing I’m really passing is the labs, which is not higher than test grades. Ugh. I’ve been doing code since middle school, with web design. But the only thing I’m doing wrong, now, is what I did back then, which is studying the code. I don’t read the book like I’m suppose to. I don’t read the power points at home like I’m suppose to. I pay attention as much as I can in class during the lecture. But it goes over my head. My teacher is Puerto Rican, which doesn’t add to the flame. He’s a REALLY easy computer teacher. SUPER easy and I should be doing just as well as the G.A.M.E.S. student in my class that is kicking my butt. But I’m not. I’m failing miserably. Ugh. I need to pull my act together.

British Literature is awesome. I love this class so much even if my teacher goes to faerie tale building with my sister (They’re Mormon and that’s considered an occult. I don’t agree with their views on Christianity and so I don’t call their place of “worship” a church. It’s more of a faerie tale book they read and a building of some sorts where they are brainwashed). Regardless of that, the class is super easy and a lot of fun. I never knew I would like reading stories written close to a thousand years ago. We didn’t really read as much in my British Literature class in high school with Mrs. Wiegert. But papers in that class are easy for me to write and I’m surprised that I get high B’s (high 80′s) on my papers; shocks me.

Badminton II class is awesome and I love it. I’m so happy that I was able to take this class. Because I finally get to get better at Badminton more so than my first semester at MGC with the first Badminton class. The lame thing about MGC is you have to take three P.E. classes in order to graduate, so I’m going to try to take the Ultimate Frisbee class when I get a chance to. But this class is awesome. I’ve been trumping on some people and getting beat by a lot of really good people. Katie B from high school is in there with her husband (strange to think that she’s married…) and Nydia P (girl that played with everyone’s hair in school).

World Civilization II is a neat class. I’m surprised that I’m doing so well in this class. History is so easy but in this class you have to take the right notes and memorize exactly what the teacher says in order to pass the quizzes. I’m amazed that I made an A on a book report about a book I only read thirty-something pages out of. My teacher is crazy, literally. Here’s a mental picture for you. Take Professor Trelawney from Harry Potter, make the glasses smaller and the hair less frizzy and more sandy blonde and presto you have my teacher. She acts like her and walks like her as well. Sometimes she will come in hungover from something she did the night before and cancel class because she has a bad headache and feel like she’s going to vomit. haha It’s pretty nice when these random days happen. I don’t even have to really use the textbook for this class either!

Health online class is a headache from Hades. My teacher is Mrs. Wiegert’s mum which is pretty cool. She’s nice and awesome like E.W. but she has technical problems ALL the time. It stresses me out, especially since she’s the only online class that has all stuff due on Wednesday night. I’m used to online classes when everything is due by midnight on Fridays, which is convenient for me since I have no Friday classes. I may actually fail, this easy class. Ugh.

Other than that I spend my free time between classes at the BCM, Baptist Collegiate Ministries. It’s basically a hangout place just like The Station from FBC in Etown. It’s pretty cool. I just sit there for about four hours and watch History Channel. :] haha. Occasionally people will talk to me. I’ve met some pretty cool people here and people that I would think I’d ever talk to. Also, I’ve been tested my patience. It’s here where I questioned how in the world some special education kids with ADHD problems made it to college. But I answer myself, “This is Middle Diddle, everyone is accepted and they claim that it’s college….”. Ugh. The nice person I am I talk to this person but after a few weeks I begin to lose my niceness with some people.

Perfect example, my sister. She is beyond all norms of what people call crazy. If we’re around each other too much of the time we get sick of each other and want to harm each other painfully. But if we haven’t seen each other in a while, say a week or more, we are like normal kids. So, thru this I’ve gained an understanding for putting up with retardness but I can’t keep my patience with some people that I see daily. I honestly, could care less if it was at a church sponsored place or not. lol this kid tests me so much and I don’t put up with him. haha it’s also made my smart mouth go off a lot, too. hahaha anyways…

I’ve been talking to Mindy a lot lately through Skype and Twitter and it’s pretty awesome. haha this is the most that I have talked to her being in Europe than when she was in America at UWG, kinda sad. But I’m just thankful that we’re still friends and she’s enjoying the Czech world. I have 2 days until Glee and 3-4 days until the end of the semester! I’m going to try to get a job. -_- I’m also going to try some online classes for the summer and see how that works out. I need to try to finish MGC asap.
