5 more weeks at UT Tyler!!

As I was registering for classes for fall semester, I came to realize that we only have 5 more weeks left till summer. This is kind of scary because that means only 4 more weeks till finals

That just absolutely scares me because I am a #1 procrastinator. This semester has been really long for me and just can’t wait till it’s over in May. Even though I won’t be able to get a long summer vacation because I’m registered for summer 2 classes, I am still looking forward to ending this semester smoothly.
I think this is the time when everyone should be sorting out their last minute assignments and getting ahead of their agenda. I am trying to study for my finals to avoid last minute pressure. And I think everyone should start doing that as well. Especailly for all the procrastinators out there. It will all be worth it at the end.
Remember guys, the finals seems far but it’s not!
Let’s finish this semester and start planning out our summer 2013!

New Semester


New Semester!

   This new semester is (thankfully) starting off much easier than the last one and I for one and super thankful. My last semester consisted of all my worst subjects, rolled into a squishy ball of “I hate my life.” This semester is two English classes ( yay! ), one Bio course ( ~_~ Boo! ) and an online cinema class where we watch films. No kidding!

   What makes me excited about my English courses is that they are Graduate Level courses so I will have to read/work my behind off, but I am happy to be starting the Graduate process. My other interests of mind-controlling-severity will include:

-          -Take/study the GRE test
-          -Write/commit-to-concept papers for Grad Submissions as Writing Samples
-         - Apply for other colleges
-        -  Keep on top of my Grad classes

   My book purchases this semester were also the lowest ever here at UT ( 60 bucks! ) however is because [ so far ] I only need books for one class. Not too bad.

   Despite a possible hiccup in Financial Aid, everything got fixed up very well and my funds released today. I paid for books, my storage unit, and also got myself a new laptop.

   Last semester was particularly troubling ( well, for me anyway in regards to this problem ) because I had quite a few online components and class projects which was not workable from an iPad. I rented an e-textbook which had no NOOK support on the device, thus it was for all intents useless.

   This semester while I am on campus I’ll have access to a real laptop so I can use a full version of Office, watch the films I’ll need to see for class, and upload/submit my WORD document papers, etc…

   In all, it will be a difficult semester, but only because of the extra-curricular stuff that will be possible because my physical course-work is so agreeable.
