Life Update

Hi again!

Oh it has definitely been quite sometime and I have truly missed blogging and commenting on your posts. Today, I only bring to you an update and why I have been gone for so long. Nothing special but I owe it to you, and if not to you, my loyalty to my blog!

So these past few months have been rough and things are finally settling down. This semester of school was the most challenging it has ever been for me. I took 16 credits and I probably will do it again just to get school out of the way. I am so tired of school and homework needless to say but hey, it's a good investment - or so they all say. But I digress. Fortunately with 5 classes, I managed to receive all A's and one B with a toddler running around.  I'm taking a Summer class and am truly regretting it. Three more semesters and hopefully I will have finished school for a long, long time.

Now, drum roll ---- little one arrived a month ago. I didn't share that here just because life got so busy. School, work, toddler, pregnancy. Somehow, and I don't know how but I managed. I guess that many of us can say that though right? I'm not sure about you but I work at life day by day! Otherwise, the future - or some parts of it just stress me out! But this is the reason why I didn't blog for so long because during the last trimester, my sense of smell had just gotten so bad that every polish stunk to heaven! I could not stand the smell of nail polish with this one. So, I stopped polishing my nails for while because it just got that bad. However, I am glad that things are rolling again and I cannot wait to start regularly blogging again. So, here is to a new chapter of blogging! OH! And she is officially one month today! How time flies!

Oh, and she's got a head full of hair!

Also, if you have any ideas of what you'd like to see on my blog, don't be shy and leave me a comment!

Much love,
Anna

School

I have recently just switched my major over from biology to human services. I think that's what I want to do, or so I am pretty sure. I wanted to blog about this because I feel like it's an important topic. Especially with the gradual increase of tuition time after time.

Originally, I wanted to go to school to study biology - my BS. But after this semester taking Gen Chem 1, I have changed my mind. Everyone says that Gen Chem 2 is much harder. And I'm thinking like, "HOW THE HECK AM I GONNA DO GEN CHEM 2?" So I thought about long hard and switching is what I have come to. It really sucks because I'm in the 2nd semester of my 3rd year in college and now I don't even know what my expected graduation date it. So sad. Not that I was going to graduate on time since my advisor suggested the wrong math class as my pre-req for chem. But it is what it is.

With that, I wanted to share my thoughts about college. You know, everyone thinks that you should know what you want to do when you graduate high school. But really, you shouldn't or so, you don't have to. College is a time to explore and from there, really know what you want to do. Everyone thinks that you should know what you want from college but that's not true - for the most part. I thought I wanted to go to med school but it's not. I wish I knew that earlier. I wish I was able to explore other careers so I don't have to go through what I am now - switching majors and graduating WAY past  my expected grad date. However, I want to encourage those who really don't know what they want to do. It takes time to know and figure what you want to become and the kind of career you want to be working for the rest of your life. It's not always easy but with time, you'll definitely get there. Like me, ha. College it serious stuff especially when you're taking out massive loans. Then you gotta think about what you want to do when you only have 2 years. After 2 1/2 years (which is late) I sort of know what I want to do. So, continue to go to school and HAVE YOUR OPTIONS OPEN! I can't stress that enough.

Lastly, I want to thank my husband, friends, family and most importantly God for having been so supportive of this significant change in my life.

Thanks for reading. What are your thoughts? What are you going to school for? Do you know what you want to major in?
