Last Blog!!!

The semester is almost ending. This two semesters went by really fast. Tomorrow I am choosing my classes for next semester. It doesn’t feel like a long time since I was just starting my first semester of college. At first I thought that college was going to be really hard and that I wouldn’t get any good grades in any of my classes. I was wrong because college is not really as bad as people make it sound. I thought that keeping up with assignments wasn’t really hard. This semester I did studied more than I did last semester and that helped a lot. Studying made the tests easier and I was able to get passing grades on my tests. I think I am going to be improving more next semester with studying and being able to use a planner without forgetting to check it. Now that the semester is almost over and summer is almost here I will be able to relax for a while until the Fall semester starts. With it only being two more weeks left of school and this being my last blog I have to say that time does go by fast. Writing the blogs and commenting on blogs was really interesting. It was a little hard coming up with topics to write blogs about but as soon as I had a topic in mind and started writing the first word, everything else just came naturally, when I least expected it I had already written 250 words. Overall I liked writing the blogs and my first year of college wasn’t bad.

Running out of topics

Lately I have been having trouble thinking of what to write. No good topics come to mind. I think I have written almost everything about my college experience. I have written about classes, spring break, summer and more but those are the only thing that have been going on. Nothing much has been going on with my school experience just the usual which is almost everything I already have written about. Nothing has changed with what I have already written about, I am still trying to get good grades. I am still trying to figure out which classes I am going to take for fall of 2018. Even though I know what subject I don't know which classes exactly like at what time I want to take those classes. I want to choose classes that are only on Monday, Wednesday and Friday like I did this semester. But I don’t want to take another night class because I don’t really pay much attention. Because the date to choose my classes is only one week from now I am going to search for classes before that date so I don’t have to be searching for my classes at the time that I can pick my classes. Besides the date of choosing my classes coming closer I don't have anything else to write about. I will most likely have something to write about for next weeks blogs but for right now I have nothing. The only topic I have right now is to write about how I am running out of ideas.

Media Class

For my media class, I have to remake one minute of a music video. Since the beginning of the semester I had time to record and edit it. At the beginning of spring break I started recording the music video and at the end of spring break I finished recording all the clips. The clips of the music video were due in class the week after spring break. After recording the clips of the music video I had to edit it and add the audio which made it the first draft of the music video. Now, we are learning how to add color and add text to the music video. I think that editing the music video is the easiest part of the whole project. Even though it is time consuming I don’t have any trouble editing the clips and putting them together to make the music video. In this class we have been doing in class challenges that have to do with what we have to add to our video. I find the class challenges really helpful because it is basically a tutorial and makes the editing process much easier. Right now I have a B in that class. I have been doing all the work but the professor still hasn’t put in the recent assignment grades and I don’t know if my grade has been getting better or worse. I want to get an A in that class, that’s why I have been turning everything on time and I am also trying to do an assignment that is already late but I’ll still get some points so I can get my grade up. 

The Semester is Almost Over

This semester is almost over and I can’t wait to have another break from school. Even though the end of the semester means having finals and having a lot of assignments due I am excited for the summer. Since the semester is almost over it is also almost time to choose my classes for the fall semester. I don’t know exactly what classes I am going to choose because I still need to see an advisor. Since I just changed my major this semester I am going to have a different advisor and the classes I will be choosing are going to be a little different. With the major I had before, my advisor advised me to take most of my classes that involved requirements for my major but probably with the major I chose now I think it’s going to be a little different. Since I don’t know exactly what classes I am going to take, I think that I have an idea of what subjects because of the GE requirements and my major. When I went and changed my major the new advisor for the major that I recently changed it to gave me a paper of what classes I was required to take throughout my four years of college. That helped me have an idea of what classes I am going to be taking throughout the years. I am just glad that summer is almost here and I’ll have a lot of time to relax and take a break from school. 

Spring Break is Over.

Now that spring is over, I have to go back to making sure I keep my grades up. I did need a break because honestly on spring break I didn’t had to worry about any assignments due that week. The only thing that I did that had to do anything with school was catch up with assignments that are going to be due soon. Now, coming back to school, I realize that there is still some time left until the semester is over and that I still have more midterms, finals, and much more load of assignments for each of my class left. Coming back to school right after spring break got me thinking about my grades and everything that has to do with school. Taking some time of school and not thinking too much about it during spring break really helped a lot with not getting stressed. During my spring break, like I said before I catch up with some school work but even though I didn’t do anything interesting I still enjoyed the week that we had for spring break. I just basically stayed home everyday and I watched some movies and started a new TV show. Even though I wished I would’ve done something fun or go somewhere exciting during my spring break, I am not complaining that I stayed home and did nothing. because that helped not to think too much about school. I left all the thinking about school to when I go back to school which is now.

A Planner

I got a planner at the beginning of this semester so it could help me remember any assignments that need to be done or any test that might come up soon. I am really bad at remembering things especially when it comes to homework. Last semester, I would forget when something was due and when I would check if I had anything due, the deadline would be right around the corner. I figured that having a planner this semester would make things different and I wouldn’t miss anything. At the beginning of the semester it went good because I would check my planner everyday and finish my work on time and most of the time I would finish it really early. But as the days went on, I slowly stopped checking my planner. At first I would check it twice a week but then I just kept forgetting to check my planner to see if I had any deadlines coming up soon. I feel like it’s because I am still not use to having a planner. I’ve never had a planner and I thought that getting one will make everything easier for me and it did because I turned my assignments on time. Having a planner is really helpful for me but I just need to get use to checking my planner regularly. I think that if I just keep my planner and try to remind myself to check my planner more regularly, I will eventually get use to it and I won’t have any problems looking at my planner. 

Can It Be Spring Break Already?

Spring break is in two week and I am so happy about it. Even though I am probably going to do some work over spring break I am happy that I won’t be stressing too much about school. This semester most of my classes have been a little difficult. I’ve had more test this semester and I am ready for a break even if it’s only one week. I feel that since it’s spring break I won’t have to do too much work than what I would do if I had class. I am definitely going to try and catch up on some studying in some of my classes. On spring break I am also going to use that time to film a music video that I have to recreate for my digital media class since I haven’t started it, and it’s going to be due the week right after spring break. Now, thinking more about it, I think it’ll be better if I start it before spring break so I can just use spring break to edit and film again clips that might need to be better. I want to finish most of my school work before spring break so I don’t have a lot of work during spring break. I also want to enjoy my spring break and I don’t want to stress a lot over school work. I just want it to be spring break already. Thinking about it now, after spring break there's only going to be like a month left of school and then I’ll be done with my second semester.
