It's been awhile since I have blogged in English. Actually, it's been awhile since I've really blogged at all. So welcome back me! Haha.. Since I have some free time now before I get fully engaged in my classes, I wanted to take some time to update my ameba and bring out some of the thoughts I have been having.
Spring semester at Mason has officially started today! I definitely was excited for it to start to be honest. I had been working full time at my on-campus job the whole entire break, so I didn't really have much free time to hang out with my friends and catch up with them. On the bright side, I got paid big time lol. I used the money that I had been working to save all break to buy a new pair of glasses! Why, you might ask. You already had glasses before getting contacts, so whyyyy? Well, it doesn't hurt to have both does it? I mean, I don't want to wear contacts the entire day. I would wear them during the day and when I get home, I would take them off and put on my glasses. Plain and simple. I feel like I'm just drabbling on and on about nothing haha.
Anyways, like I said... classes have resumed! This morning, I had one class at 9AM... Geog. Terrorism/DHS class. It seems like it will be an interesting course based on the syllabus of what we will cover during this semester. The only thing is that we don't have a textbook.... and the professor is someone who recently graduated in 2009. He doesn't seem to be a man of many words, so the class might drag a little. I might just end up bringing my coffee and my netbook to take notes (and occasionally use it to pass the time lol). I want to be able to get a 4.0 this semester! The possibilities are endless if you have near-perfect grades, so I will definitely try my best this semester! My classes seem like they would be really fun! But again, they are all 300 level classes, so I don't expect to have much of a life (once again). I'll be juggling classes, work, and VSA. Despite the fact that there are only 3 main priorities, they will eat up my life once again. BUT I WILL BE READY FOR IT. Working at the job I have now has kept me in check in terms of organization and punctuality. I am truly grateful to have this opportunity to work where I do now. So thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Recently, though... because I've been so busy... I feel like I've been cut off from the world a little bit. I feel like I'm kind of behind. But I guess that's because I have my priorities lined up. Classes > Work > Social life. This might be what I get for prioritizing in such a way... but I have to admit, it does get lonely occasionally. I think I'll be satisfied as long as I use the time wisely and productively.
A new year brings a new mindset (for me at least). I want to focus my energy on becoming a stronger person mentally and emotionally. I feel like I have already taken the foundational steps in becoming a strong and independent woman. There are many things that I still have yet to learn, but I will embrace the lessons with an open mind.
Looking back at the entries I have written during the past few years (particularly in the early stages of me making this blog), I've realized how much I have grown. I'm no longer that girl that always minded what others said, nor am I the one who used to be negative over every little failure. I want to believe that I have overcome that personal obstacle and now have become a strong person who looks at each failure as a stepping stone to success.
There is no success without failure. And there is always a tomorrow.
I know I have a lot more that I want to get out, but I can't pinpoint them at the moment. Until the next update I suppose! Hopefully I'll have a few more stories to share!
With love,
Mimi
