Late Night Surprises and The Amount of Time to Graduate

What an interesting start to the day I had! I bet that no one out there had one like I did (unless they live in the same dorms), unless it involved:

• Loud noises
• 3AM
• Cold morning

If somehow you came to the conclusion that my dorm's fire alarm went off at three, then you are absolutely right! Ain't that a hoot.

I guess it wasn't so bad, but really? Not super fun to be woken up randomly in the middle of the night by shrieking alarms to dash out into the cold with no shoes.

I'm starting to get to a solid idea of what I want to study, but realizing just what I want to study is getting kind of scary. It's not that I'm scared of the subject (though it will take a lot of hard work), but it's what's required in classes. I have come to the conclusion that despite trying to get a lot of classes done, I still might end up taking five years to graduate.

 That scares the heck outta me.

Really, I know it shouldn't scare me. Maybe I don't feel scared, but it makes me feel shamed. Y'see, at the beginning of the year I participated in a class that stumbled upon the discussion of Generation Y, or my generation. In the class we talked about how Generation Y is taking longer to graduate, becoming more dependent on parents, moving back in with parents more often, and not as hard working. I don't want to diss my generation, but a lot of the time I feel like I don't quite fit the picture. I know that I'm a lot more dependent on my parents than I should be, but I try to be as independent as possible.
This kind of goes back to my fears I suppose. There are so many intelligent people out there, it's intimidating. I've read blogs of people who have graduated college early, I've heard stories where people get amazing scores on everything they do. I want people to look at me that way, you know? I want people to think, "Oh, what a great job she's done." Did I mention I'm hella narcissistic? Because I am. I crave attention, I can't help it.

Yeah. That's what's on my mind. Now it's time to take a shower. Late night Zumba!

How do you feel about how many years it takes to graduate?

Nothing in Particular

The week begins again. I fear that the weeks are going to start speeding by, and deadlines will quickly come upon me. For now, I have to work on that.

Today seemed to be a day of trying to get a lot done and not truly achieving anything. It is not a good feeling. I've been conversing, finding out information on things, and setting up appointments. Still, it's like I have a lot of different starting points and I don't know where to begin.

My mom had her car broken into today. Nothing was stolen, but it's still scary. She called me trying to figure out a car situation, and she just wanted a hug. Poor mom! I felt so bad.

It was Zumba night tonight, so I didn't go on a run. I think that Monday will be my off day for the week. Also, I might go running tomorrow with one of my hall mates. Fun!

I'm trying to create a budget sheet. I might show you some details!

Have you ever had something of yours broken into? What did you do?

Zumba and Craving

One thing that should not be allowed is me writing a blog entry with the influence of mood swings. My goodness!

Last night, Sabrina, Leihua, Katelyn and I went to Zumba club. It was so much fun! Definately going again next week.

Katelyn has been staying in the room now, and I don't know if I like it as much. Let me explain:
I have this whole process of slowing getting to the point of sleep. Right when I'm almost there...
*Click!*
Katelyn comes in. And I know she's going to turn on the light, so I duck under my covers. It throws me off! I suppose that's part of living in a dorm room, ha.

Today I was thinking about how I'm doing in classes. I'm worried that I'll end up getting just alright in. Always doing well, but not quite exceptional. I'll keep working!
I've also been RAVENOUS today! I wonder why? (ahem).

I emailed the head people for the dragon boat team and the running club yesterday. I'm thinking one of the things might be fun! Even though I'm not the greatest runner, that would be okay right? He still needs to email me back though.
Speaking of running, I went on a little run on the treadmill today! I went 3.06 miles for 30 minutes, but when I was done I still felt like I could run more! I'll have to start upping my running/time.

Tonight I'm going to PB and Glee night down on the main floor! Get excited!
I have not watched last week's SNL yet. This is tragic.

I'll leave you guys with a picture of a letter I'm sending to my friend!

What do you guys do when you have crazy cravings?
