It’s been awhile. I’m taking a break from studying for my marketing final (Wednesday night) to write this. What’s been going on with me?
- I had my oral presentation for my professional writing class on Thursday. I did fabulous! My group and I were presenting on the feasibility of building a Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I got a 76/80 on my individual presentation, and overall the group got a 20/20. Score! The teacher even commented on how relaxed/not nervous I looked. I’ve never been a good public speaker so I was extremely surprised to hear her say that!
- I changed my earrings for the first time ever! Yes, you read that right. I had my ears pierced back on March 5th, and finally took them out 6 weeks later so I could wear pearls to my presentation. I had no problems (I was worried that I would) and my ears are fine.
- School is almost over. I have a final tomorrow night, Wednesday night, Saturday night and May 3rd, then I’m home for two weeks before summer starts up.
- Speaking of summer, I can register for the managerial accounting class on the 27th, so I’ll be doing that. It will be a 100% online class and I won’t have to go to Santa Fe CC at all, which is great. Besides the other two classes I am signed up for, I decided on adding Medical Terminology and Computing in the Business Environment. I may remove Computing in the Business Environment after I hear back from my adviser. I wanted to know if CGS2531 (which I’m already signed up for) and Computing in the Business Environment were the same and if I should even bother with the latter if I am already required to take CGS2531 for my major.
- I came to a realization this past weekend. For the past (almost) year, I have been dealing with this anxiety/depression thing. I have been on medication, been seeing a therapist weekly, and trying my best to deal with obstacles when they come my way. I never realized how lucky I was until this weekend. Sure, I have some difficult things that happen now and then, but my life could really be a lot worse. Between this semester and fall, I have overcome (for the most part) my social anxiety and general awkwardness around people that I don’t know. I have made SO MANY new friends, most of which are worth keeping in contact with after we don’t have classes together. I truly like my life. I’ve also come to realize that I can overcome anything, I just have to give it my hardest effort. I will do well this summer and I will be able to stay in the business major. I’m determined to do it and if I put my mind to it, I know that I can.
- Tom got his first “big boy” job interview. I am so proud of him, I can’t even begin to tell you guys. His interview is with a company that is not even 3 miles from my apartment; which means, if he is offered a position with them, he will stay in Gainesville and we won’t have to do the whole long distance thing again. I am ecstatic! The interview is for a position called GIS Technician 1 (don’t ask, lol) and it is tomorrow at 3pm. Send Tom good vibes!!!
Alright, I’m off to get back to studying for my marketing final. I made a wonderful dinner tonight – skillet chicken, peas, and Italian seasoned french fries. My friend Jamie was here and she LOVED it. However, I’m soooo full :( No dessert for me tonight!
Have a great week, ya’ll :)
