Done

School is almost over. I can't believe it.
I'm not sure how my grades will turn out. I'm a little scared I won't get the 2.0 that I need to stay here.
Some of my classes, I know I did fine in; others, I'm not really sure how it's going to turn out.

I'm not too excited for the end of this semester.

Summer will be interesting too though. This is the first summer from the past 7 years I won't be attending/working at Camp Nakanawa, a Summer camp in Crossville, TN. This summer my dad wants me to find a real job pertaining somehow to my future career plans. Or an internship. I don't really think I'm ready for something like that. For one, I've never really even had a real job anywhere. Not many places, besides restaurants or little stores, are willing to hire someone with no job experience ever.

My future is a mystery to me. I don't know how any of this will turn out.

Registered!

Got all registered for next semester :)
Taking lots of good classes, and I ended up with a pretty good schedule! I was also trying to setup some summer classes, but it didn't work out, so no summer school for me.
All I have to do now is pass this semester and I'm ready for Junior year to start!
I'm not sure what I'm going to be doing during the summer though. My dad really wants me to get a job that would look good on my resume, or to get a good internship, but I'm not really sure how to do that. I'm not even really sure what kind of job/internship to even look for. I know I need to get a job, I've never had any real work experience at all, but it's hard looking for one. I don't know how many jobs I've applied for, but I never hear back. It's tough.
The only job I've ever had is working for the past two years at a summer camp that I had attended. That doesn't really give me much experience when looking for other jobs.

Summer school

Ever since last week when we learned about registering for classes, I've been thinking more about taking summer classes. It would be a good way to get more hours that I need, and to take care of some necessary gen eds.
I also have been able to talk to an advisor and figure out what classes I need to take. I've been working on filling out my schedule for Fall Semester and it's coming along pretty well. There's one gen ed I would like to take, (HUM 2610, I think, the Foreign Literature in Translation class) but the only times I can take for that semester would make my Tuesdays a full 9:30 am to 5:45 pm day, with no breaks in between. I'm probably going to save that class for later. But besides that slight problem, my schedule for the Fall is turning out pretty nice. I'll hopefully only have an 8 am MWF, instead of everyday, like this semester.

I've also been wondering about dropping one of my classes this semester. I know it's probably past the date to easily drop classes, but I was wondering if I still have that option. Could you help me figure out how to go about doing that? It's a PE soccer course, only 1 credit, so I don't think it should be a huge hassle to drop it.

Food services.

There is one problem that I've had with MTSU so far. The dining services have very different hours from my last school. At UE, all of my friends lived on campus, so we could easily just go get lunch or dinner together at the meal times. And if we got hungry when the cafeteria was closed, "Ace's Place," the on campus market, was open until midnight almost every night.
Here, my friends all live off campus, so they have very different meal plans, or none at all. They can't eat with me McCallie, and they have to spend their own money if we eat in KUC together. There is no on campus market for late night snacks, and I'm always hungry later even if I have a good dinner. I try to get extra food when I can, but it's usually never enough. I guess it's just something I have to learn to cope with.

Superbowl commercial

I'm going to have to agree with the majority and say that the "Don't touch my mama, don't touch my doritos" commercial is my favorite. I watched it at least 5 times on youtube.
I think it's just so funny because no one expects this little kid to slap a man, and act so demanding and controlling. And the look he gives the guy at the end is hilarious.
This kid isn't playing around. He means business.

Blah

This past week my allergies had been bad, so I ended up missing some classes. I went home and got better allergy medicine so I should be better now.
Went bowling with friends this weekend too. I had a lot of fun.
Mostly just stayed in, catching up on homework, and playing video games.

I like my Biology lab, though, because one of the girls who I used to go to summer camp with is in it too, and we're definitely going to be lab partners. I never thought that at such a big school I'd be in a class with someone I already knew.

First week

My name is Laura and I transferred from the University of Evansville in Indiana. I am from Nashville and have a few friends that attend MTSU, which is one of the reasons I transferred here. My major is German, with a minor in Linguistic Studies, but I really wish MTSU had a major, or at least a minor, in Chinese. I love languages and have taken classes in German, Japanese, Russian, and Chinese.

My first week at MTSU was interesting. My friends helped me find my classes, but when out on my own, I have gotten lost a few times. All my classes are fun and interesting with the exception of Biology, since it's a Gen. Ed. I need and it's mostly a review of stuff I learned in highschool.

I think the 2020 class will be very informative and interesting, but I'm glad it's only once a week.
