Exam Week

This week has been stressful. Its crazy to me how much the atmosphere and scenery has changed from last week to this week. The study lounge on every floor is filled as well as and in every nook and cranny. They are filled with  people trying to cram as much information into their brains before they are tested. The quiet hours are extended to 24 hours a day for the entire week. People barley come out, they only leave their spots in order too eat and go to the bathroom. When you walk into the cafeteria all the girls are wearing yoga pants and big burly sweat shirts with their hair all up in a bun  and absolutely no makeup. The boys look pretty much like they usually do. Its a whole other world.

Last Three Weeks Before WInter Break

These last few weeks have been quite the challenge for me. There has been so much going on. Everything is all coming together. Everyone is finishing up there last pieces of work for all their classes. I have found that waiting until the last minute may have worked out for me in the past but now that I'm in college it is much more challenging getting away with that now. Next semester I think will be a bit easier for me. I at least will have some background in what I'm getting myself into. I will know to not take a nap instead of getting a paper written that is due in a couple days. I will be ready to bring it!

Sigma Kappa

I have always looked at Greek life as something that I would never be apart of. I always thought it was this particular girl that was destined to be in a sorority. For some reason I decided to go through formal recruitment. I fell in love. I realized through formal recruitment that there was all sorts of girls there were creepy ones, sweet ones, nerdy girls, silly girls and funny girls. I found my niche. Sigma Kappa had all the girls that I was looking for. I have found a place that I can call my second home. I have made so many memories with these girls and I am so proud to call myself a sigma kappa.

Genre Project

For the genre project that we have been doing over the past few weeks I have found that to be able to mimic a certain genre, for instance a playbill, it is much harder than expected. It takes a bunch of time and effort. You have to consider every detail and alter the way you think to the way that the person who made the genre thinks. If I were to go back and re-do it again. I would have started a lot sooner. I found myself struggling for time in the end.

For Colored Girls

Monday I went to the play For Colored Girls I found it very interesting. At first I was a bit confused on what it was about but as the play went on I realized that the play was about the hardships that colored girls go through. The difficulties that colored girls have. The actresses in the play were very good. It wasn't the type of play that you would go to and there were costumes and scenes. It was more like poem. They had to read each script in a way that fulfilled the emotions that these colored women were feeling. They had to make the audience believe in what they were saying. They had me engrossed in every word that they said.

Halloween Weekend

This weekend was Halloween weekend. It was so much fun. My boyfriend came down to visit and I had a blast with some high school friends. The best part in my opinion would be dressing up. Getting ready is always a thrill. You get to be whatever you want for a few nights only and creating that person is always a blast. I think that most people would agree to that as well. I don't know why it is such a pleasure to create a different identity but maybe it is because we get tired of ourselves and this is a chance to get out of the reality of who we are.

Annotated Bib

For class we are required to create an annotated bibliography. Last year as a senior in high school we had to make an annotated bib as well. I did horrible. Each description of my sources was unorganized and not well written  Since then I have noticed how my understanding of writing has changed. I am now able to take something so foreign to me and figure out how to put it all together. I think that this has occurred because now that I am in college I take things a lot more serious. I need to understand. I have to do well and in order to do so I have to put all my effort into everything I do.
