And I'm Back!

I thought a picture would be a nice way to begin....
So, i'm finally updating my blog again. Its been almost a month and a half. So i thought it was about time. But anyways.....

I am now busy with my second semester here at Mines. Its been pretty great so far and i love being back. Being home for a month was great and very relaxing. My parents can vouch for me when I say I did ABSOLUTELY nothing. Thats right, nothing. But i enjoyed every moment of it. I wouldnt want it anyother way. It was a nice break after a first, tough semester in Colorado at Mines.

This semester is going to be pretty tough just like last semester, but i am ready to take on the challenge and am excited for what i will be learning. I made it past physics 1 last semester and am now in physics 2. AWESOME. but not really. but thats ok cause i am determined to pass. Along with phys 2, i am taking calc 3 (yes, again. last time didnt go so well, but dont worry, I'm over that. this time around i'm expecting to get nothing less than a B, cause i am once again determined to do better). I am also taking chem 2 and NHV. NHV is Nature and Human Values and basically the Mines' version of english. But you cant really call it english. Its basically how to right as an engineer and the ethics and moral issues involved in engineering. Although there will be some writing, it will be no where near as annoying for me as english is. Of course, I also have the mandatory PA class (Physical activity, remember, not PE thats petroleum engineering).

This week is going to be pretty busy because i have now become more involved in my sorority (Sigma Kappa) this semester. Being one of the view members who have played sports, i am the IM sports chair, meaning i must make sure people play. Its not a big position but i'm just starting off small getting used to the time commitment. I'm also apart of Standards Council for the sorority meaning i am part of a committee that makes sure people behave. haha of course i would be apart of that. but the reason this week is so busy, is because it is spring recruitment and we have events to get new members every night. But its fun and i am really enjoying it. Who would have thought me as a sorority girl? not me. but i guess you cant really count my sorority as a normal sorority because of the school I am at but whatever. Its been fun so far and i am looking forward to many more learning and opportunities for me to grow as an individual. Miss you all back in UT! love you!
