My first week back at college is now done and over with. I feel as if I’ve been running nonstop since Monday morning. Luckily, I only have one class everyday except for Thursday. Unfortunately, I’m still at the day care. My nanny job that I had lined up for next week fell through. I’m not going to discuss why it fell through, but needless to say, I’m not happy about the situation. I understand. I’m just not happy.
I’ve considered job hunting again, but that would require me to dye my hair back to a normal color and possibly remove my lip and eyebrow rings. I’m not stupid; if to get a job I must do either or both of those, I will. But right now, I’m just going to stay at the day care and hopefully get my GPA up. I’m only taking three classes this semester, so hopefully getting at least two A’s and one B’s won’t be too difficult.
I’m already considering changing my major. I’m thinking about mentoring in art history and women studies, as well as double majoring in psychology and early education. But I’ve also been thinking about interior design. Or getting rid of it all and just doing art history and working in a museum for the rest of my life. Sounds very exciting, actually, for to work in a museum would mean living in a big city. And that’s what I ultimately want. My dream is to live in New York City in a shitty apartment. It’s a wonderful dream, actually.
My art class is really interesting. The teacher isn’t very exciting, but at least the text book and the information she is giving us is something I’m interested it. Makes it a little easier to pay attention. Not a lot, but a little. My life span development class is a bother, though. I basically took the same class last semester for psychology. So it’s very repetitive. And my teacher speaks in a very monotone way and even though I sit in the front, I’m unable to hear the professor. I guess it is actually a good thing I’ve taken a class so similar, it’s almost the same.
My night class is also somewhat interesting. It’s child psychology, and since that was what I wanted to do with my life, I was really excited about it. At least the class is interesting and the only assignment I’m not looking forward to is our oral presentation at the end of the year. At least it’s only three minutes and I have almost two months to prepare.
This three day weekend shall be boring, consisting of me studying already. I’ve already been made fun of for try to do some reading on a Friday night. It’s hard to explain to some people that my GPA is actually important to me and the fact that I currently have a 2.3 (or something to that effect) does not thrill me. Mostly because I know I’m smarter than that (not that there’s anything wrong with a two point anything). I just need to finally learn to push myself. And I’m not sure I’m going to be able to. I don’t know if it’s my current lack of interest in my major or if my classes are just boring or what, but I have no motivation to do anything. If it wasn’t for the work study I have to do for financial aid this semester, I probably would have skipped at least one of my classes. But because of that, I’m at Tech every day except Monday at eight in the morning. I suppose that will be a blessing for me this semester
