Blog #21, Day 28.

Thursday September 22nd, 2016 at 1:44 PM.

Normally, I do not start writing so early in the day because I usually like to do it at night so that I can reflect and recap my day.

I decided to go on and write now because something has happened.

My roommate has eaten my noodles, and I know that sounds minuscule and that I am being over dramatic, but those were my noodles! And to be honest I do not know if she really ate them but I am like 99.9% sure she did. The only way I could of ate them was if I did it in my sleep, which I do not think is very likely seeing as I would have get water to fill it up, put in the microwave, take it out, and throw it away. There is just no way I ate them unless I really just do not remember .

This has made me very heated (no pun intended- because of the microwave get it?). I was waiting all week to eat them and now they are gone.They were buttered garlic, and the packaging made them look so good. I called my mom, she said to just ask her cordially whether or not she ate them, but I have not seen my roommate since eleven o’clock yesterday. I also tore apart all of my food to find them, but they were already gone. I also looked into the trash can to see if the container was in there, which it was. She had to of done it.

Anyway I have watched two movies instead of doing all of my homework for tomorrow so I have to go to that now.

I will update at the end of the day whether or not she tells me she ate them.

It is 2:07 PM.

I’ll finish this later.

Update: I have texted her asking when she will be back, and I got a reply. Then I asked her if she ate them, no reply. Seems like a guilty conscience if you ask me.

Update#2: She ate them,but she was honest about it so it really is not that big of a deal, even though I made it seem like one.

It is now 10:41 PM.

I am currently sitting in bed about to eat M&M’s and wash them down with a cup of Sprite. Picture of health really.

Today was not a bad day, but I just feel like it was. The best way I can put is that I feel like life really hit me today, and also probably because of my hormone imbalance (mother nature is great isn’t she, ladies?).

My roommate still isn’t back which does not really bother me due to the fact that I kind of like being alone, especially since I am an only child and never had to share my room wit anyone before.

I went to a Calculus tutoring session, only because he asked if I would come because he was being evaluated. I think he wanted a lot of people to show up, but there was just me and one other girl. It was basically just a mindfuck. I tried to find other ways to say this, but this is the only way that it really hit the nail on it’s head. Sorry if you are not one for obscene language, but I myself am.

I also had a cheese quesadilla, which was okay I guess, but all the cheese was melt onto my fries.

Other than that I did not really do much today. I did finish my “Why I Value” paper though, which I am happy to be finally done with. I also was able to do one of the question for the take home part of my computer science class. The only problem though is that I could not even get a hundred if I tried. The in class part was worth eighty-one points, and the take home part was either worth nineteen or thirteen points, depending on which you chose. I tried the nineteen pointer but with no avail. I was able to get the thirteen pointer though, so at least I will get thirteen points out of hundred. Computer science is a class I really struggle which, but unfortunately I need if for my degree. Sad face.

Alright with all that said, I am happy to say that we figured out the great mystery of the disappearing noodles, and that I want to go to bed now.

It is now 10:53 PM.

My high of the day- watching two movies on Amazon Prime. They were The Escort and This Thing with Sarah (they had the same actor in them, that is why I watched them both). My low of the day- having to do a problem on the board during the tutoring session. It took about twenty minutes, but there were only three people watching me.

Goodnight,

Emily

Blog #20, Day 27.

Wednesday September 21st, 2016 at 12:26 AM.

So I guess if we are being technical then it is really Thursday, but this is the blog for Wednesday which I believe that I am writing Wednesday night and not Thursday morning.

I have no classes tomorrow as in Thursday. See this is why I am acknowledging right now as Wednesday or else everything will seem a day later. That is why I decided to stay up so late.

I did have all four of my classes today which as it always is, it sucked. I also had my first computer science test-very bad. He gave us eleven questions and said that he would only grade the first nine. I could answer one question.

Later on on the day one of the RAs in the building was talking to me and my friend and asked us each which classes we are in. Turns out that we are both in the same computer science class, just at different times. He offered to help me whenever, but I highly doubt I will ever go up to the 3rd floor to his dorm. What can I say, I am not that kind of person. I actually still have to do the take home part, but it is not due till Friday. I hope to have it done tomorrow.

I also put all of my blogs onto WordPress, there was only nineteen so it was not too bad. I think I am looking forward to having my blogs on this platform rather than the one before. So if you ever come across another blog with the same posts it is probably.

I also had to finally have an appointment with the writing center. I actually had made two appointments for today, but the first girl never showed up. The second appointment went much better. She told me that I am very self-aware, which I think in large part is due to this blog.

I still have to finish or do my “Why I Value” paper, depends on how you look at it.

Also on a side note I think that blogging has improved my typing ability.

Mostly today I just hung out with my friend. Although I did go to the vending machine three times. I figured out that I could use the vending machine two-hundred and twenty-seven times before I run out of dining dollars, and I have to use those other wise they will just go to waste. I can already feel that freshmen fifteen coming on.

Also as I was adding my labels I realized that this was my twentieth blog. I am pretty proud of myself except for that one time I messed up.

It is now 12:56 AM.

My high of the day-eating a cookie. My low of day-getting crispy M&M’s, that was a mistake.

Goodnight,

Emily

 

Blog #19, Day 26.

Tuesday September 20th, 2016 at 9:54 PM.

Today was a pretty good day.

Today I sat in the same room and in front of computer screen for four hours in a row to try and get a grasp on this computer programming.

Other than that I really did not do any thing. I did not even eat until 3:30 PM.

I also did something pretty foolish and waited till 6:30 PM to star any of my homework. My calculus question was pretty much impossible for me to do, and the notes were absolutely terrible and not helpful in the slightest.

I also walked around campus today for like a half hour trying to find chips. We went into four buildings in search for these chips. I think it is the most I have explored this campus yet.

I also at our dining hall today. I had pizza and tacos. Once again the did not have the soup that was on the menu. Still a major disappointment.

I also found out that I can use my dining dollars in the vending machine in our building. I have two-hundred and fifty dollars to use in three months. I do not want the money to go to waste.

Well that is pretty much it.

It is now 10:01 PM.

I think this is the earliest I have written one of these posts.

My high of the day- getting M&M’s from the vending machine. My low of the day- not getting all of my homework done.

Goodnight,

Emily

Blog #18, Day 25.

Monday September 19th, 2016 at 11:28 PM.

Today was actually pretty good for a Monday.

Tomorrow is going to be literal hell though, so I guess you win some and lose some.

I have my first Calc II test tomorrow and I did the review practice problems, I feel like they were not too bad. I will also have to go get help for my computer science class, which I have a test in on Wednesday. I have not had any test yet in college so it is really thoughtful of them to give me two in two days.

I also got my “Why I Value” rough draft back. He thanked me for being honest and personal, but he has a lot of questions that he would like me to answer. Questions that I really do not have the answer for. I also still have not made an appointment with the writing center.

For lunch today I made ramen noodles in the microwave and to be perfectly honest I am still not sure how I feel about them.

My friend(just for future reference when I talk about my friend it is the same friend…always) was worried that I drank too much water. I average about five bottles a day, but today I think I had like eight. Anyway she looked up how much water weighed and found that every bottle is a pound which means I gained eight pounds today!! I assume that it can not be right. Also I am still thirsty. I probably have some sort of major health issue. I also really need to pee while writing this.

I did go to the dining hall today, but all I had was a salad and only one glass of Sprite.

Alright, I want to go to bed and also go to the bathroom.

It is now 11:38 PM.

My high of the day-playing goldfish and memory with my friend. My low of the day-waiting all day to go to the dining hall for chicken noodle soup just to go there for dinner and there not being any soup left. Honestly it was a major disappointment, a reoccurring theme at this school. That was kind of a low blow but I had to say while I had the chance.

Goodnight,

Emily

Blog #17, Day 24.

Sunday September 18th, 2016 at 10:52 PM.

I am back at school.

I was supposed to go our school’s writing center for them to read and give me feedback on my essay for American Politics, but I was not able to make an appointment. Plus, I really do not want to do it.

I never did do my computer science work, but it was damn near impossible.

We went shopping on the way back to get some more food for my dorm. I am most excited about the cookies.

I already know that I am going back home this weekend which is something to look forward to and a motivation to get through the week.

I also have my first Calc II test on Tuesday that I am really not looking for.

It is now 10:59 PM.

My goal was to be done at 11:00 PM.

Unfortunately I did not have much to say within those eight minutes.

My high of the day-eating a cookie. My low of the day- not doing my computer science.

Goodnight,

Emily

Blog #16, Day 23.

Saturday September 17th, 2016 at 11:40 PM.

Today I slept in til almost two o’clock,  it was amazing.

I went to dinner today and to my friend’s house.

Like I said I spent most of my time in bed.

At dinner though a topic everyone seemed to want to talk about was how I want to transfer. It still bothers me when people ask me all these why questions.

I really do not have much to say.

It is now 12:34 AM.

My high of the day-waking up at two.  My low of the day-I got soaked in the rain. It has poured non-stop since about six o’clock.

Goodnight,
Emily

Blog #15, Day 21.

Friday September 16th, 2016 at 11:59 PM.

I made it home. I am currently sitting in my bed waiting for my water to boil so that I can make a cup of ramen.

I got home at around three and I sat and did nothing for a while, but then I decided to make brownies.

I also went over to my friend’s house and got some of my homework done.

I still have not done the assignment I missed in computer science today, but I am thinking that I will download it on my home computer and do it tomorrow.

I do not really have much to say. When I woke up today it was forty degrees outside so naturally I wore a t-shirt and flannel.

When I got back home it looked as though I was in the middle of December.

It is now 12:17 AM.

I was not joking about not having anything to say.

Although I just remembered that the other day my professor asked us something good, bad, and something we wanted to change at college. I decided to be honest and say that the good thing was I already sent in my applications to transfer. The bad thing was that I did not want to be here and the thing I wanted to change was me being there.

He was actually really understanding and wrote something on the back just telling me that he hopes that I find a college I fit into and that he would help me with whatever I needed, even if that would be transferring.

It is now 12:20 AM.

My water is boiling.

Goodnight,

Emily

Blog #14, Day 21.

Thursday September 15th, 2016 at 10:09 PM.

Good news I guess, I will be going home.

Even though my mom made me terrible about it. I will also be skipping my 2:20 PM, so I can be picked up at 1:00 PM. She sure did a great job at making me fell terrible/bad/guilty about it.

It still makes me angry that I am being given a hard time about in.

I made it three weeks though, which means only twelve weeks left.

It is now 10:25 PM.

I am watching If I Stay at the same time, and my roommate came back but she already left again.

My friend and roommate will also be going home this weekend so I guess it would have either been terrible if I stayed here or great. Terrible because I am alone, and great because I am alone.

I did not really do much today due to the fact that I had no classes.

I also feel really guilty about skipping my class tomorrow but I mean I guess I do not know what I really want to do.

I was supposed to go to my friend’s hometown, but then she decided that she was just going to skip all of her classes and just stay there tonight too. I still could of gone with but there was really no point to have them drive all that way for basically no reason.

I also wrote a paper on what I value. I decided that what I valued was my home, but rephrased it as familiarity.

I am going to finish the movie now.

it is now 10:36 PM.

My high of the day- I got to pet a puppy and see multiple dogs. My low of the day- feeling awful about myself because I want to go home instead of be here. Also felt pretty bad because today was the first time that I did not actually want to open my computer to write a blog.

Goodnight,

Emily

Blog #13, Day 20.

Wednesday September 14th, 2016 at 10:24 PM.

No classes tomorrow is the best thing to happen here so far.

I had all of my four classes today,  and I actually did not get as much homework as I thought I would or normally do.

I am currently in my friend’s dorm and we are watching Neighbors, and I am writing this post. We went to both of the libraries tonight to find a movie. The first library only had historical documentary types of movies.

We also went to our campus’ take out place that opens at 8 PM. We decided to wat there too. There was a group of four boys who I believe were euchre. Anyway we gave them all of the fries we did not eat and the halves of ou wraps. I actually ate at the dining hall twice today.

I ended that there because I am writing this on my phone and I just got a text from my mom. Apparently at this point I will not be going home, my stomach actually dropped and I would cry but I do not want to in front of someone. This sucks.

I really don’t understand it because they did not have to pick me up last. She said it is because he has a party but he had one last week. I am really upset about this so I think I will just end it here. Sorry if that seems dramatic, I really am not a drama queen. I just don’t want to be here.

My high of the day- I saw two dogs. My low of the day- I think that is pretty obvious.

It is now 10:40 PM.

Goodnight,
Emily

Blog #12, Day 19.

Tuesday September 13th, 2016 at 11:02 PM.

I really have to start writing these blog posts earlier.

I did not really do much today besides go to my classes and do my homework. I had to read what I would describe as too many pages tonight. I had to read two chapter, one in each book. I am worried that I am going to confuse the two, even though one is English and the other is American Politics.

I actually ate twice in the dining hall today, which is what I would like to call a major improvement. Usually I will not even eat in there at all.

Today was nice though, due to the fact that I only had three of my four classes. Tomorrow is probably going to suck, as it is the day before my day off (cue chanting of DAY OFF, DAY OFF).

I also need to shower but I just hate doing it here, but I will need to by Thursday.

At this current point in time I have no idea whether or not I will be going home today.

I also submitted my applications to transfer. Now I will need to get my transcripts sent, which will probably be a huge pain seeing as I will need the assistance of my high school guidance counselors. My counselors in high school were terrible, none of them knew anything which automatically made them practically useless or at least unhelpful. There was not many things that kids in my high school had in common but I think we would all have agreed on how bad our guidance counselors were.

My roommate is not here, she had to play an away game. I am going to try and get to sleep before she comes back, even though I will probably hear her. She is not loud or anything and normally I am a pretty deep sleeper, but the rattling of the lock really gets to me.

The doors here all use regular keys instead of swiping out ID card. The locks on the dorms also tend to be really fidgeting so it makes it difficult to get in and out of your dorm easily. All of the doors of the dorms always slam as well, and there is no way to do it quietly. Literally no way to do it, I have tried many a time.

I personally think it is strange that a school that costs forty-six thousand dollars does not have the technology to just let us swipe, but I digress.

It is now 11:15 PM.

My high of the day- eating the mac and cheese at our dining hall, it was homemade and probably the best entree I have had there. My low of the day- having to read for homework, it would not bother me if what we read was actually interesting.

Goodnight,

Emily
