You should have seen me wrestling Casie tonight!
This week was great. Only having to go to classes for four days was wonderful, plus, my homework load was extremely light throughout the week. Just a quiz for Biology (which I deemed fairly important) and an exam in Math...also important in order to keep my A- in that class. I think I might be able to pull out an A in History! This semester is looking up.
Things have been going so well as of late. I'm going to have a great semester next year. What with only 15 and a half credit hours, hopefully tutoring and being an Ambassador, as well as coaching at Howe...it's going to be fun.
I'm less stressed right now, which is...wonderful. I'm glad I don't feel so sick.
Being home is nice, but I just love being at school. I love being around my friends...I love our campus...I just love school. Yep, I'm a nerd. And I'm getting an award for being a nerd, too! Yeah, I'm getting an award for academic excellence in Math and Science. (NERD!!)
Then of course, things have been a lot of fun with the girls and my boys. They've made this semester great. Peter, Jesse, Brian, Kristen, Jeannie, and I played Battle of the Sexes the other night, and it was so much fun.
My mom has made it her own personal goal to get me to like myself. Her effort is...fantastic. I really appreciate the efforts, but it's just a serious struggle for me. I mean, I've honestly made some improvements recently. Thanks to a certain person who has also made it their goal to make me like myself.
I really hope that I can get a job this summer. That's my only hope for this summer.
Barbados is going to be absolutely amazing. The temptation to drink is really going to be there. But the thing is...it's perfectly legal down there. So I'm thinking, you know, a drink with dinner might not be so bad, you know? I can't really decide. I don't want to drink a lot: A.) Because I'm going to have to be going to the schools in the mornings and all. B.) I have to watch over my roomies, who I know will drink more than I will. I don't know. I'm just real unsure how to handle this.
There is so much on my mind outside of classes. I'm not sure I'm doing the right thing...I'm not sure how to handle the situation that I find myself in. But I love it so much.
I talked to my mom about it, and she supports my decision, and I think that's good. It makes me feel better about it. Sigh.
Love Always,
Alison
