two weeks already? slash only two weeks? i can never decide if time goes by fast or slow in college.
either way, i've been holdign strong with my resolutions, still. gym/workout every day. healthy food. working on getting more involved. city living. all that good stuff.
some things on the horizon:
- my Appalachia spring break service trip is in just about a month! i should find out where i'm specifically going soon.
- after spring break i think i am going to apply to go on the Arupe service trip whcih will take place somewhere in central america next january during winter break.
- i am juggling the idea of joining the Heights (a student newspaper) or Stylus (a student art and literature magazine) for this semester, and i will join one of them, but i cant decide which.
- i am applying to be an ELP facilitator for next year and i really hope i get it.
- i love most of my classes and weirdly so far dont mind doing work for them or wakign up at 9 am every day. i only hate one of my professors who spits and repeats himself for an hour before moving on to new material. but other than that, golden.
-48 hours retreat next weekend, i'm anxious.
-valentines day weekend after that, wonderful. not.
-i think i'm writing an article for my news writing class on Bodega and im psyched!
do you know people are paid to be professional bloggers? i read a whole chapter in my news writing class book about blogging. i think that was a cool fact-of-the-week.
catchyalater!

week one check in
i've met like ten new people. i went into boston twice, and went into newton center once. i flossed daily. i worked out every single day, and have grown to love the Plex. woo hooo! one meal a day was a salad, and the other two very healthy options. i only ate one unhealthy thing all week, and only ate half of it. i'm on top of my work thus far. i plan to go to the activities fair this wednesday so i can find another club to join. and... i'm happy.
so far so good?
so far so good?

Hey everyone that keeps yelling at me for not voting! I'm sorry, I'm an awful person, I know. Worst citizen alive. But to be honest... I would have voted for Scott Brown. And he turns out to be a former centerfold model who tries to get his daughters dates in his acceptance speech... and drives a truck. can't forget that one. he won anyways. not a good attitude, i know. but-- i was unprepared. next election i promise to educate myself heavily on the candidates and be uneffected by really annoying campaign ads cough cough Martha. and vote. add that to my resolutions!
thats all for now :o)

new semester resolutions
i vow to exercise much more. bc has great facilities, why haven't i been using them? i think i was honestly self concious to work out in front of people. but i went to the plex today and no one pays attention to you. and people around are motivation to keep going and workout more, honestly. my academic schedule is more condusive to fitting the gym in, also. i plan to hit the gym at least three times a week at minimum, if not more. i know i definitely will wednesdays and fridays because my classes end by 10 a.m. if i can't make it to the gym, i will exercise in my room. i bought a medicine ball so i can do arms and abs. and theres a ton of cool classes that bc offers, like ice skating and yoga, etc. i will take advantage of those.
i resolve to eat healthier. i ate pretty healthy last semester, actually. but i guess just taking it to the next step and really watching what i eat and make healthy choices. i may begin a food journal to keep track of what i'm eating and realize what i should cut out or add into my diet. i just want to be healthy.
floss. not like i dont now, but just not every sinnnngle day religiously. but i dont want rotten teeth. i love my smile ;o) haha
go to more events on campus. i did a lot last semester, but i found myself not doing some things because my close friends weren't going, even if i really wanted to go. i need to expand my horizons and just GO. for ME.
join another club/activity. there's soooo many! and that's just the problem. i can't decide! i'm already in a couple, but i really want to meet new people through involvement in an activity that i love, like writing for a magazine on campus or the art club or something. not sure what, but i'm going to student activity day soon and will find something!
call my mom every day. i did last semester. legit. every. single. day. i love my mom. she's one of my best friends. we need to keep up our girls-just-wanna-have-fun relationship (ha)
go into boston more. i want to know the city and the t system like the back of my hand. once spring comes, this will be easier.
find a new job or something to do over the summer. beign home over break made me scared i wont get hours at old navy over the summer. and that retail sucks. i want to upgrade. and i was going to go abroad, but now i have taylor swift tickets (!!!!!!!!!!!!) which is smack in the middle of the summer so i'm going to wait on that.
meet people. i kinda mentioned this in a couple others. but this is an ultimate goal. not that i dont like my friends and roomate that i have, but i want to get to know more of the thousands of people that make up bc. i gotta really work at this. im shy, i dont like approaching people. and i know im standoffish, another thing i need to work on. i can really open up to people that express interest in knowing me, but if i have this stonecold face on and dont look open to conversation, it wont happen. and if i dont take some chances it won't either. i think this will be, by far, the most challenging of my resolutions.
i may add some to this list.
and some others i dont feel like announcing to blogger, to be completely honest.
but, wrapup: get fit and healthy and get more involved to meet people are the main goals.
i'll chack back soon to see how these babies are going. peace!

so, tomorrow officially begins my second semester at boston college. and i decided to hold off on making new years resolutions because second semester resolutions seem more practical and motivating, through my eyes anyways.
but first, quick recap of the end of last semester: i made it through finals week somehow. i was less stressed through it than i thought, and i didn't have any meltdowns thankfully. and i believe i was quite successful. soon after i found out that i earned four A-'s (in history, microecon, portico, and computers in management) and a MIRACULOUS B- in calc. considering all, i was pretty stoked. at the beginning of the semester i seriously feared failing calculus and almost dropped it. and i never thought i'd get in the A range, especially first semester, in any class especially in some topics i've never even glanced at before. ultimately, i scored a 3.42 GPA, making me a candidate for the Dean's List. i'm very content with that.
recap of break: so long, so relaxing, pretty fun. i worked forty hours the first week i was home, then was not scheduled at all for the rest of break. that's bad on my purse but good on my stress level. i babysat and did some other random jobs to make up for it, anyways. i hung otu with my best friends a lot. if you think first semester teaches you who your friends are, try winter break. it tells you even more about who you call your friends. but i know that my friends that are there for me at great, especially one, so all is well. a lot of family time, moxie time, and hanging out. idk what i was thinking, i brought home soo much clothes and stuff. did i think i didnt have a washer and dryer at my house? that i'd be home for a year? that i'd be going out every single night and needing to dress up? apparently. cuz packing was ridiculous.
and now i moved back in officially yesterday. yesterday was not a good day. mom was sad. i was kinda sad. didnt do anything to occupy my time. but today its good again. after not sleeping well... went breakfast with some friends, the gym with a buncha people, got my text books, dinner with another good friend, and am about to do SOMETHING, who knows, before going to bed nice and early so im rested up for my three classes and elp meeting tomorrow.
looking ahead to this semester: i'm taking 5 classes again. and i'm excited. less business, more creativity. newswriting (which i am the only freshman in, eek!), painting (so anxious!), stats (cake), macro, and history II. this will be a good semester.
and now for my resolutions.... see more recent blog :o)
