Mid-way through

Mid-term week is approaching! I'd usually be freaking out, worried about how well I will do. But this semester I feel more than prepared for my tests. All my professors have been very thorough in the information they present. This semester has been so much easier. I'm not sure if it's because I've fully adjusted to NCCU or because my work load is so much lighter. I'm taking 17 credits again but my professors don't give nearly as much homework. It's been such a relief. I can't believe that my freshman year of college is approaching its end. It's gone by so fast but I have so many memories. It still seems as if just a few weeks ago I was sitting at home trying to decide which school I wanted to attend. And now in a few months I'll be a NCCU sophomore! I'm heavily considering taking summer school just so I can stay here for the summer. While I will always love Maryland, because it's my home town, North Carolina just seems like the place for me. Besides I'm still hoping to play basketball next season so being here for the summer will allow me to work out with the team. Also, I'll be ahead of the game with classes. First semester of next year I'll have to apply to get into the athletic training program and I'm hoping being ahead will appeal to the person evaluating me. Now, enough of school stuff, this weekend is CIAA weekend!!! I had never heard of it until my suitemate told me about it. She told me it's a huge event that takes place in Charlotte, North Carolin every year. I've heard there are basketball games, step shows, parties, etc. I'm so excited to be going home with my suitemate, Tinogia, to experience the festivities. Then right around the corner from this weekend is spring break! That'll be a relief, I need a break from class. Tinogia and I are considering spending spring break at Virginia Beach. Hopefully, everything will go as planned. But back to campus activities. The men's basketball team just recently had their last home game. Unfortunately they lost after putting up a great fight. Everyone was shocked and dissapointed because they have many wins at home. The half time show was entertaining. Mr. Brian, who started this blogging idea participated. He made it to the final round of musical chairs, which had all the spectators laughing. The women's team has been doing well also, and they won their last home game. Their final home game is this Saturday! Time to hit the gym for an intense work out!

Second Semester!

Blogging nation!

I survived first semester! With being sick and then partying and all the extra things that come with being in college, I was a little worried about my grades. My grade point average was the worst it's ever been but that's okay. I made it through first semester and got out all my "messing up". While on winter break I took a lot of time to think about what I would do differently. I couldn't possibly end this semester with a 2.6, like the first. No way I would get accepted into the athletic training program next year with grades like that. I took some time to prioritize and I believe I have things in order now. I'm back to working out daily, which I had gotten away from and yes I still party a little bit. NCCU parties are too great to just give up on. I told myself I would only party on weekends and I wouldn't go out on Friday nights until my homework for the weekend was at least half done. Sundays are still reserved for cleaning and homework but I am also searching for a nearby church to attend. Well today at NCCU we had premium dinner night!!! I walk into the caf and smell seafood. Once in line, I discover that crab legs, fried scallops, steamed shrimp, mashed potatoes, and broccoli was being served. Oh how I love North Carolina Central University. I have friends at surrounding schools and they have yet to have dinner choices we have. The food was delicious, tasted like they had my grandmother and mother in the back seasoning and cooking the food. Speaking of mother and grandmother, I got a new tattoo. It's a rocky looking heart with angel wings and "Mommy" underneath. It hurt just as much as my first one that says "Grannie" but was well worth it. I now have six tattoos total. I guess you could say I'm addicted... I have ideas for more but I agreed not to get any more tattoos until I'm 20. That's almost TWO years away, oh man not sure I can wait that long. Check out the pictures of my tattoos. Well, that's all for now, it's time to start preparing for tomorrow...FOUR classes!
