So, I have to be the worst updater about my life in the entire world. It’s insane. In my defense, however, it’s my professors fault that I haven’t been able to update…all my time has been dedicated to doing their work. For them, I apologize.

On the other side of the spectrum: 1ST SEMESTER OF SOPHOMORE YEAR IS ALMOST OVER! I can’t believe that finals are next week and I just got back from Thanksgiving break yesterday! � I’m not complaining but it definitely was a quicker turn around this year from Thanksgiving to Christmas break (which I leave for in 2 weeks)! It’s so weird to think that we’re almost half way done with Trinity and as much as I hate it right now because it’s what we’ve deemed ‘hell week’ I’m sure that when it ends I’ll miss this place. My boyfriend, who’s a senior, has taught me a lot about what that final year is gonna be like: it’s gonna be STRESSFUL! Finding a job, deciding whether to go to graduate school or not, picking a city to call home a while…all those choices are right around the corner. Dear lord. I think staying in school forever seems like an excellent option for me, that way I don’t have to worry about finding a real job for another couple of years! Good idea yea? No, but really…the excitement of declaring that major is really the highlight of this semester so far, more for my roommate I think than anything. She finally decided what to officially do with the rest of her life, haha! I’m still doing the psychology major; it’s really official now, paperwork and all.

Moving on

Classes have been decided for next semester and this year just wasn’t as exciting as freshman year mainly because there wasn’t the begging and pleading that came with freshman year which took away a lot of the excitement. Signing up easily for classes? Who wants to do that anyway?

Next subject

I don’t actually think much has happened around campus since the elections; it’s almost like we’re in recovery mood from all that came with that. I still can’t believe that Obama won…it’s amazing to see what our country has developed into, and to be alive in this time is remarkable. Especially to be black in this country and having this experience to tell my children in the future will be important to me. I would love more than anything to see the inauguration in person, but the fact that tickets are selling for thousands of dollars right now…I don’t see that happening. At least I can say that I was apart of history. That feeling is enough for me. I remember talking to my mom after he won and she just couldn’t express the amazing feeling it gave her generation who didn’t even believe that college was in their future when they were young children. Now we can look at any child and legitimately say that you can be anything you want to be. I feel blessed. I feel as though the future of this country is on the up and up and that every child can believe that anything is possible. Because it is. Everything is reachable. Anything that you believe in is attainable. That’s something great to believe in right before finals.

Maybe we can survive.

It is only round three for us. 3 down and 5 to go.
