3. Weekend/MC

This weekend has been a lot of fun!
I went to Rush skits on Friday and Saturday night! They were alot of fun..there was a theme to each one and you had to dress accordingly. This made it quite interesting for the first one we had to drees like a pirate or a ninja that was a fun one to do. 2ND we had to dress as a shoe..there were definitely some really cool ideas that people came up with. 3rd we had to dress like we were going on a hot date or like our favorite vegetable. 4Th we dressed like dancers. I really enjoyed getting to dress up for each of the skits.

I have stayed at MC the past two weekends...but now i am really ready to go home and see my family and friends.

Don't get me wrong I love it here and My new friends..but i am getting homesick.
I am a family oriented person. so it has been really hard for me being at college and being away from my family.

I love how MC has the idea of being one big happy family but it just is not the same. There are lots of things on the MC campus that go on campus. which i am going to most of the things to try and fit in.

I am really looking forward to being in a tribe because they seem like the perfect way for me to figure out how to find a "family" here at MC.

2. ~GO CHOCTAWS~!

At the begining of the week I was kind of having a bad week...I am struggling with how to manage my time and do well in school. It is hard for me to actually sit down and do what I need to do for my classes. I am one who gets destracted way to easily so I am trying to figure out a way to get the things I need to do accomplished. I am sure adventually I will figure out what it takes to do well in my classes. Until then I am simply going to try my hardest and figure things out one day at a time.







So on a happier point of view my week did get better when I went to the general interest meeting thurday night for the tribes. We had our first official project of the rush process on saturday morning. We woke up on Saturday morning and gave back to the community we helped improve a building and make it a better place. It made me feel like a better person after giving back to the community.







Saturday afternoon I went to the first tailgate for our first home football game. It was alot of fun. I am very proud of our football team and the victory we had last night 44-7.
GO CHOCTAWS! After the game I went to the freshman fund raiser fith quarter at the piazza.
It was alot of fun..for those of you who did not go maybe you will get to next time.




So I guess in a way my problem is I stress myself out when it comes to school..when I am doing bad in a class it really gets to me. Then I feel all I can do is study for that class to improve well myself in a way and try to get a better grasp on what is going on in that particular class. so to keep myself from overstrssing my self about school I try to be involved in as much as I can in the fun things that go on around campus..which this leads back to the fact that I get completely distacted way to easily. So My goal for my self this year is to try and balance this out were I can be both social and do the things I need to for school with out being stressed.

1. My Life Lately

In the past few weeks I have entered a new envirement.
With this new envirement I have encountered several fun experiences.
Last weekend I went to a dance-a-thon on Friday night and learned how to swing dance. It was really cool. I did not expect to have as much fun as I did. I went with some of my new friends from on my hall. I like the whole idea of a dorm how if you want to go do something with a friend you don't have to call a friend as ask if they want to do something. All you have to do is go next door and ask if they want to do something.
I have been trying to keep up with and do most of the social things that have been going on on campus. One thing I am really looking forward to doing is being in a tribe. I am not sure which one I want to be in. The whole rush process starts this week. I am looking forward to this because it is a way of meeting new people. I came to Mississippi College not knowing anyone so I really have to go out and meet people.
My intended major is Graphic design. So this weekend I came home to Mobile, Alabama to get the things I need for my art class. I really enjoyed being home this weekend because it gave me the chance to get all my things together. I also enjoyed watching the Alabama football game with my family. My grandmother who has been sick but now she is doing better came over and watched the game with us.
