University of New England: Aysha Gerald

hey everyone!

hopefully everyone's breaks went well. my plane ride home was a lot of fun [i love planes], but the one back up here could have went a little better, haha. other than that, my break was amazing, but i am glad to be back at the school. it was really nice to see my family & friends, but there is just something about this place..

classes started again, & although it was kind of hard to get back into, after being gone for a week, i liked it..[yeah, im one of those people that love school] =]]
but thats okay, because whats not to love about college?

its finally starting to get cold around here, and registration has passed [which i still have not had the chance to do], but doing it for the fall semester was soooo easy! i cant wait to see what classes i am going to have! i know that i need to take environmental issues, bio 2, bio lab, and im not really sure what else yet..ill figure that out in the next few days..oh, and i still might be switching my major! i love psychology, but im not sure what i want to do with it [i tend to switch my mind a lot, so we will continue to see what happens there, lol]

hmmm..what else? im thinking about becoming an orientation leader for the incoming freshman next year, so any of you who are thinking about coming to this university [which is amazing] would get to meet me! & i would definitely be looking forward to meeting all of yall =]]

well i think thats it..three more weeks until Christmas break & i cant wait! i love this time of year! me & my roomates are going to be getting a tree & everything..[awesome!]..and since the last time i wrote, we have added a fish named zeus to our room =]] hes pretty adorable i must say, haha.

thats all for now & i will write again soon! feel free to leave me a comment! =]]

Ok, so this is my first blog ever! & I am really excited to do it! Here are a few things about myself, so that all of ya'll can get to know me a little better:

My name is Aysha Gerald
I am a freshman this year (and loving it)
I am from a town called Zion in the state of Illinois (it's near Chicago)
I am majoring in Psychology as of right now, but I may be switching into Medical Biology next semester (we will see how that goes)

Other than that, I have been on campus for a little over 2 months now & things have been amazing. The school is beautiful & the people are amazing. I went to the orientation in September because of travel arrangements & I met a lot of really great people. When I moved in, I was a little nervous at first (to meet my roomates and everything), but the situation turned out great & I couldn't have asked for better roomies!

There are also a lot of things to do around campus..my next blog will pretty much be pictures of everything that I have done here since September (which may mean that there will be quite a few, haha). Activities are ALWAYS going on, so the feeling of missing home has kind of gone away because UNE is definitely my home away from home.

Hmmm..what else to say? Other than I am having the time of my life right now. I will be going home this coming Saturday for Thanksgiving break, so I am really excited to see my family! I can't wait to do that! Also, in this short time, I have made the BEST friends (more to see of them in the next blog as well). It was easier making friends than I thought because everyone is so open and inviting here..

Well that's all for now, but anything you want to know about UNE or my experiences so far, I would love to talk about!

TTYL!
