School started for me on Monday, and so far, my assumptions are, it's going to be one fun/tough semester. Not only was I excited to finally figure out that this semester is going to be fun, but my next two are going to be equally as fun! (I wish you could hear my sarcasm!)! This semester, I am not taking too many classes, but every class is tough. Starting with Human Anatomy, my professor is awesome and he really knows how to teach this class, running to the other end of campus, I have Interpersonal Communications, this professor has such a personality I am really going to enjoy this class as I learn more about communicating with others. My next class is pretty boring, where my professor lectures my class about the civilization of America... in a deep, very monotone voice, can I get a whoop whoop? Again running to the opposite end of campus, I swear the fifteen minutes between all of my classes is really not enough. I love my nutrition class... as of Monday I decided to minor in nutrition. The U, unfortunately does not offer a undergrad program in that so, I will get a minor in Nutrition and move on to do my ultrasound and sonography program (location still undecided). There is so much you can do with nutrition, I love learning about foods that can improve my health, make me feel better, and since I already have to be careful about what I consume, I feel that this area would allow me to have fun! I love food, ha but luckily I know that this class will help me love it even more after I study the affects of it.
The one part I hate about school, is all the silly fees and the cost of books. This semester hit me hard... with spending about $400 dollars on books and fees, I became angry and out of money, but it could be worse, I feel bad for grad students trying to go to school full time and no time for jobs or free time. I am grateful for my parents help pushing me to go to the U to further my education, for all the pep talks saying that it really is all worth it and, for letting me talk their ears off about my day at school. I still find it weird that my best friend and twin is not by my side at school, but hey we are both where we need to be. When I walked onto campus, and took a deep breath of the hot air, I was overcome with excitement! Ha my backpack is heavy from four books, and paper, but every time I look at it, it just means I am that much closer to what I want to do... my career, of helping others in the medical field. I can only hope it goes the way I want it to and that I can, no matter what, continue to learn. So in a few years when you all are having babies, I hope to be the one to tell you that "It's a girl or boy" or even better... Twins! Ha ha Future ultrasound tech/sonographer minoring in Nutrition here!!!!
I get the lovely opportunity to take Trax to school so that I can save time not fighting to get a parking spot or waste my money on gas commuting back and forth. I have noticed some things from last year and this year, for there are very interesting people who ride them, all pretending to have nothing in common with the person they end up sitting next to or the person that is standing on top of them for the whole train ride. Let me tell you... we all have something in common, we are all in a hurry trying to make it through life too quickly, here are my observations:
-The old grouchy lady who if she doesn't sit in her normal spot by the door puts a scowl on her face for the time she is on the train.
-The college student reading a book, frantic to memorize the material for the day's quiz
-The kid jamming out to his ipod, with music so loud you have to really hear the announcement about the stop.
-The sad man who had a bit to much to drink the night before
-The girl who is on her phone with her boyfriend... in a few hours it will be ex-boyfriend
-The service missionaries, reading The Book of Mormon
-The average business man carrying a briefcase
-A salesman, thinking up a new slogan for his company
-The biker... they think they can take up all of the walk way...rude
-The person staring you down at the other end of the train, need I say creepy??
-The girl and boy holding hands because the night before was way too much fun
-The engaged couple having a hard time saying good-bye to each other
-The officer who checks for tickets, really hoping to find as many as he can, be prepared if not, the fee I hear ranges from $160-$300 in fees, just get your ticket, it's a few dollars!
-Then there is me, trying to keep safe from those scary people noticing all that goes on, I'm just grateful that I don't have to drive everyday to school.
I am looking forward to this semester, full of fun, hoping to meet lots of people, staying up late and not for leisure reasons but actually studying, and really really anticipating January so that I can apply to my Rad Tech school and be done with one more semester!
One More Thing...GO UTES!!!
