The DTH

The Daily Tar Heel, DTH, the most regularly read newspaper on almost a daily basis by hundreds of thousands of Carolina students and faculty. Throughout the week, it is not an odd occurance to see people sitting in the UL, Davis, the Pit, Polk Place, in class, and many other places catching up on the current issues discussed in the pages of the DTH.
Since my few weeks, as a Carolina student, I had not picked up the DTH, sat down, and read through one until this past Friday. I had just had lunch and had some time before I had to go to work. I grabbed one from one of the many various locations on campus you can pick one up and found a nice place in front of Wilson to read it. It was surprisingly interesting and I definitely enjoyed reading it. I especially loved the sudoku puzzle (which I have not finished), the cartoon, and of course the kvetching board (they were great, I hope throughout my years at Carolina that I get one posted). It was very informative and entertaining newspaper. Overall my experience of reading the DTH was great and I loved it. I hope to continue to read them on a regular basis throughout the week.

Oversleeping

On Thursdays I have workstudy and today I was late. I went to bed at a resonible time and set three alarms so I would have plenty of time to get ready in the morning. Two alarms went off and I went back to sleep. And then came the third came and I turned it off. The warmth of my bed was really nice and became hard for me to get up. I finally woke up at 7:53 and I suppose to have been at work at 8:00. I gat dressed as fast as I could and walked from south campus to the labs. I got there at 8:30, and being honest I told him I overslept and that was why I was late. He seemed cool about it, but said "You better be glad you had to work because they would have kicked you out if you had lab." I do not know what that was about, but I guess he was telling the truth. This was my first time ever over sleeping. Because usually my Mom would wake me up for school.....the high school days. Now I have to be independent and make the adult decision to wake up or stay in bed....I made the wrong one this morning. I really have to be careful about this sleeping thing, because if I would have had class I might would have been in trouble. Since I aint got English in the morning, I will be able to sleep in alittle before I have my recitation. So, next week and for the rest of my years at Carolina I will NOT oversleep...well I hope not.

First College Test

Ok so today I took my first college test and it was so stressful. It was nothing like I had expected. A total difference from my high school tests. After the test, I knew that I had not prepared myself for this and will probably receive a failing grade....hoping for a curve. Looking back I can so I wish I had studied more, did more practice problems, and even atempted to go to office hours, but I chose not too. Excuses is all I seem to make. Well now its over, I have already turned in the test and it is potentially in the process of being graded. I may be down, but I am not defeated. Come October 15, I shall get my revenage on these infamous chem 102 tests. I may have lost the battle, but the war has just begun. Sounds so cliche, but it will come true. This time there will be a change.......study daily, do more practice problems, seek help in Dey and Learning Center, and finally review just before the test. Yes I have it all planned out. Its time to get out of this "first college test" blame, because next time it won't be my first and I will come prepared.

Missed Church

Ok, so I woke up today and decided not to go to church. And I am sitting here wondering, if my Mom would approve? I am of Christian faith and ever since I was young, I have always went to church. The only rare occasions that I would not go if I was really sick or it snowed. Well this morning I was not sick and the news had no forecast for snow in Chapel Hill. So what gave me this new idea that I should stay in bed. Has the newfound freedoms of college caused me to give up my upbringing of attending church regularly? I am grow right, I can decide if I want to go to church or not. School is more important, I have alot of homework and studying to do, right? But still I have this empty feeling that I should have woke up this morning, took a shower, got dressed, and caught the bus to WOCC. I guess none of these excusses give a good reason why I chose to stay in bed. Laziness....is that it? Comforted by the warmth of my sheets. I guess thats it, I chose my bed over church.

My First Blog Post

Just finished setting up my first blog for my English 101 class. This assignment is going to be so awesome throughout the semester. Never had a blog before, so this experience is going to be educational and maybe difficult; still trying to work with it. But anyway, welcome to my blog. Feel free to comment on any of my posts.
