Have been rough since my last blog.
I constantly have something to do for school, whether it is reading or having to do an online quiz/test, or some homework. I'll admit I am glad to be back in school, but it's hard. I am pretty sure it is the school because they do have high expectations here.
When I dont have homework, I either watch TV or play a video game of some sort. I tend to just do nothing-which sometimes is nice. But I at the same time I feel like I am waisting away my life. I want to start getting involved-because that is what college life is all about. But I have a hard time getting to know people and I can be quite shy when it comes to group situations. Since I have been in school for about a month, I have made only 1 friend. (on my own-I have made friends w/ Ty's friends) And she is great! But I feel it is important to make this school process "easier" I should get involved-join clubs/organizations.
Tomorrow there is a first meeting for a group called SCAEYC (South Carolina Association for the Education of Young Children) and the first day a teacher will come in and talk about the first couple days as a teacher. I think that would be AWESOME to go to and learn about stuff like that. So my mission for my next blog will be about the process of attending this meeting and writing on my experience! I wont fail you!
There is also a volunteer opportunity called ClemsonLIFE. Clemson has a program that has students with disabilities who take one class at Clemson and then take life classes (like learning how to write cks and how to pay bills online, prepares them for life on their own, etc) These students are my age and are here trying to gain the same experience. I think this is such an amazing thing. I am wanting to join for 2 reasons. ONE I would get extra credit for my intro to special ed class and TWO I think it would be a awesome experience to get to know these students! So this is another opportunity to get involved!
Finally there is this other opportunity: studying abroad in Italy! AHHH wouldnt that be awesome!? The only thing stopping me is the cost. It cost $2600 just for the program, but you also have to pay for flight ticket and tuition! so you are looking around $8000-$10,000!! ugh... This would look really amazing on a job application and I feel like I shouldnt turn this opportunity down. Which is why I must come up with a plan to get the money! lol.
Well I have class in 15 mins so I must go... Until my next blog (which will be about my experience at the meeting)
xoxo
(sorry for errors-didnt have time to look over it!)
