If we look back... I have been pretty busy. Check out my vlogs from the past to weeks to help catch yourself up. I moved in the dorms... wait, I mean residence halls... and right away I experienced freezing cold showers, hot elevators, and an ab workout. Once everyone else on our floor moved in we all met and mingled and found friends. I was so excited for all the new people to move in; see what new friends I'd make. Would I keep that same as last year?
I am just so amazed at what can happen in 2 weeks. Yes. I had friends last year. Even with the summer break, being back now, we are so much closer. I live with Kallie this summer so we bonded a lot and grew so much closer. I wasn't that close with Molly last year. To be honest, she was kinda intimidating.. in a good way! She seemed so put together and worldly. Really educated. I only really talked to her because our friends were friends. You know how that goes. But some how we begun to actually talk to one another and I absolutely love her. She is great. She's a keeper.
And now I've meet some great new freshmen and I love my RA, Vanessa. Fall Welcome here at school has been a blast because it has given us a lot of fun things to do together and get to know one another better.
One thing that is really stressing me out is my job. I love working at the daycare on campus. It was a great way to get away from the stresses of school and the dorms and life. But now work is my stress. I work Monday through Friday at 7 am and I tend to work up until class. I don't really have a break. I would love getting 8 hours of sleep at night but I have homework and papers and I still need a social life. I am really trying to be smart about how I spend my time, but it is hard. Especially this year because our floor is even more social than last year, or I just want to be more social with people than I was last year. Either way, I have seriously been considering quitting my job. I know I will miss it terribly but I just don't know if I can do it. I work 23 hours a week plus have about 13 hours of class to go to. Then I have a ton of reading and homework to do. But I only have about 2 or 3 hours a night before I should be getting ready for bed and doing the day all over again.
One last thing before I go... I have started putting captions on my vlogs! Most people don't find that very exciting. In my life it is. I have a few deaf friends who are in my videos more frequently now and I want them to be able to watch my vlogs and enjoy them like everyone else. It takes a long time to do them but I am doing it so my vlogs are more inclusive.
Stay tuned for more frequent blogs!
All my love, Heather Kimberly
