All the good ones

Well first let me cover an issue I addressed in a past blog: I am no longer in any disarray with my bank. Thanks entirely in part to my dad. When he saw how dressed I was, he wrote me a check covering the balance and then some! I have such a great dad. I really do. I am so appreciative of him. I know I don't show it enough. I think I'm going to try to change that!
I also mentioned in the past that I had failed my first Psychology quiz. Ends up I wasn't the only one. In fact, half of the class didn't even take the quiz. So he allowed us to do it again... Guess what?!?! I MADE AN A!! Sarah is back! Thats much more like me. Now I have to take quiz 2. But it isn't due until Monday and its more of a factual test. (What are Axon Terminals?) I'm re-excited about class.
Speech was interesting too. We were told to make a model of communication... Talk about vague!! But ends up my group came up with a very advanced idea that blew the professor away... Until the pentacle showed up!!! Then ours became the brilliantly Satanic model. It made my night.
I didn't get lost on the bus that night either. Even though I spent forty minutes figuring out the bus schedule, I didn't even take the bus home. One of the girls from my class took me home. Super sweet of her. Guess that was one of my lucky days!

I need to correct a few things too. I believe a while back I put in that I was questioning my girlfriends devotion. Saying that it was all about the money. How cruel of me. How cruel. And how wrong. She didn't deserve any of that. My girlfriend is amazing and money doesn't matter to her in the least. She is so supportive of me when I am down and really takes care of me. She goes out of her way to do things for me quite often. Does that sound like a selfish person to you?!?! Not to me!!!

I've lost about five pounds this week! :-) I am highly excited for my small start. I have been exercising and dieting my ass off. Literally! And it looks like it is working. Five down only twenty five to go :)

What an F

Remember that quiz I was talking about in the last entry?? I wasn't able to retake it. I did all my studying today and then signed on to take the test. Ends up the quiz closed out at 10 o'clock this morning. I had no idea. I thought it was midnight for some reason. I am so disappointed in myself. How could I do so poorly on my first quiz?!?! I am just very very very very glad that he has agreed to drop our lowest quiz grade. This WILL be my lowest grade. I won't allow anything like this to happen again. I have already started to study for the next chapter and I am more in the swing of things... So I am hopeful. Nervous. But hopeful....

This is why you go to college fresh out of high school. Don't take a year off. Your test taking ability starts to decline and study skills are lacking. I was an idiot. I know it. But I can fix things. I am not in a slump yet. I need to find a way to memorize names with events. I have never been very good at it. I can still barely remember that Washburn was the first woman to earn her Ph.D. in psychology even though I just read it. The only person I can really remember is Wilhelm Wundt. And that is only because I have been studying him since I was back in Georgia.Oh well. Like I said I can fix this. I can make better grades from here on out. Wish me luck :-)

My first week is over!!!

I just wrapped up my first week of college. I am surprisingly nonchalant about it.I can hardly see the difference from high school. Except my classes are smaller. My bigger class only has 14 students in it. That part is really nice. It would be nicer if I knew at least one of those students. I realize that I have never gone into a school where I didn't know a single other person on campus. I must say its intimidating. I am a very social person and I don't know what to do when I'm not talking to anyone.
Out of my college career I think I want new friends more than anything else. (Yes, sadly more than the education) I feel that I have been isolated for a long time. I know that it is mostly my own fault but I do partially blame my environment. I hate living in the city. Its so cold and disconnected here. Back in Georgia people had to work on friendships and not just let them go when the smallest thing went wrong. You couldn't. Because if you did you would very quickly be out of people to be friends with.... But here??? There is a never ending array of people that you can replace your friends with.So there is absolutely no need to hold onto a friend, or try to make things work. Simply make a new friend. Add that to the fact that the few friends I made here were in the drama department. There is a reason that the symbol for theater is two masks... Two faces.
But back to my first week. Getting to campus was an adventure in itself. Sunday night I had stayed at my "girlfriend's" house. So Monday morning had to start at 5 a.m. She didn't have time to take me all the way to campus so we had to find the closest bus stop to her school. After thirty minutes of waiting the bus shows up. In all it was a two hour trip. I was an hour early so I had time to find my class then sit around and people watch. Ends up there are no chairs in that lobby.... But finally 10 o'clock rolls around. I already love my psychology class. The teacher is extremely well versed. I don't think there is anything in the field he doesn't do. The most intriguing thing to me is that he works as a criminal psychologist. I really can't even imagine what it must be like. Nor do I know how he does it. I couldn't. I would be too biased. I don't think I would EVER let a child molester back on the streets. Even if he was "cured". You touch a child you deserve to suffer. But thats why I don't want to be a criminal psychologist.
Tuesday night was not as fun. The teacher seems hilarious. His favorite word is very clearly shit. Its in every other sentence, I swear. Its a long class (three hours) and everything I ever learned in drama will make the class that much harder. I am not allowed to memorize my speeches. Not supposed to have predetermined movements. Oh this will be fun. At least I know how to deal with stage fright. But that night... Oh that night. I still have to rely on the city bus system to get me to and from. At night most buses have ceased to run. So I have to make four transfers. I got to about the 3rd stop... Getting ready to get on my last bus... Its 11 o'clock at night. And I realize I got off too early and I'm lost! I have absolutely no idea where I am. I don't know how to get home. I call my dad freaking out. I wanted to know if there was any other bus I could take home. My only issue was I didn't know where I was. But then my dad did something pretty awesome. Going off of the schedule of the last bus I was on, and the stores I told him that were near me, he figured out where I was and was there in under ten minutes. I was sooo grateful because before he came I was very nearly in tears and was having a mild panic attack.
Yesterday was another psych class. Again I enjoyed it a lot. We were told we had a test online... I tried taking it today... I pretty much failed (made a 70%, which in Sarah world may as well be an 0) Since its not due until midnight tomorrow I am going to spend all morning studying (we can take the quiz 3 times) and then retake the quiz when I am confident in my knowledge of the material. We don't go back to class until Wednesday. Don't know anyone. So this is my first test as a college student. Doing something utterly alone. Oh boy.
