It has been a looooooooong time since I wrote last now. I have warned about this and I am sorry for fulfilling my own fears and becoming too caught up in my daily life to even think about blogging. I have decided to make this blog entry more opinionated, the last one sounds like a how-to guide and that is not really my intention with blogging. It is a try and fail experience to blog, so you will just have to forgive my inexperience.
I have no idea where to start! Time passes in strange waves... Well, the good news is that I have pretty much gotten used to the way school works around here. Not that I can say that I like it all, but it is not as stressful anymore. Okay, it might have something to do with the fact that I dropped ENGL 203 Major British Authors. Note to anyone who wants to take literature courses abroad: take one at a time (one each semester). They demand a lot of reading for each class and that on top of everything else is a lot. If you choose to have two anyway I can promise you that you will have no life. I have a picture of my stack of books before I dropped the ENGL 203 class:
Impressing isn't it? I'm glad it's a little smaller now at least. There is always something due in some class around here, whether it's a test, assignment, blog or a quiz. It gets on my nerves and I can't remember the last time I was as tired as I am now. The thing that bug me the most is that we haven't had a real vacation yet. We had something they called Fall Break, but that was just a joke. We had Friday and Monday off, and I have Friday off anyway, so it was just a way to tease us. Now I can't wait for Thanksgiving Break that starts on Wednesday next week. For once I'm getting away from campus! I'm visiting one of my friends in Florida. I can't wait!!! On that note I might take the time to warn others that there is no public transportation here in Rock Hill, SC. And when I say no, I mean that it is nonexistent. No bus, no train, no nothing. If you want to get to the airport, get a cab and pay 60 Dollars, you want to go to the small mall they have here, 20 dollars. This is my greatest frustration. Which is why I got myself the SC driving license and will be getting myself a car sometime in the near future. So be aware! However, it's not all bad at least it keeps me from spending all my money.
From all this it seems that I don't like it here at all, doesn't it? Well, I actually do like it despite all this. I like that I can just go down to the cafeteria, slide my ID and eat as much as I want. The food isn't always the best, this is America after all, there are lots of unhealthy options to choose from. Somehow I always manage to leave there full anyway, I just have to use my imagination and pick and choose form different "stations". If I get really tired of the food in the cafeteria I can always go to the student center and use cafe cash to eat there. Another thing I really like is that it's free to use the gym here. So if you don't use it's your own fault that you're out of shape. They have a climbing wall, pool, running track, cardio equipment, a weight room and a normal gym hall for volley ball, basketball and such. You can basically do whatever you want :) The one thing that really pleases me is that I've actually managed to make a friend. My roommate is a really nice girl form New Hampshire, which I have strangely much in common with. It makes me really happy to have an American friend and that I was this lucky with my roommate.
I don't really think there is anything else I have to say right now. If there is anything that I forgot, it is too bad. Next time, I guess. Whenever that will be ;)
