College, Here I Come!

Many of you don't know this, but today I started PSEO at a community college near where I live. Now some of you are saying "what on earth is PSEO?" Well, I can most certainly answer that.

PSEO stands for post secondary...something or other. *blush* Okay, so I can't answer everything. But I do know that PSEO is where a high schooler (aka, a Junior or a Senior) may attend a college or take college level classes (while still in high school). You may be going "wait...isn't that expensive?" Well, yes, it would be, if it wasn't PSEO. But it is, so there's a catch.

It's totally free. I don't have to pay for the class, the books, nothing. The gas? Yes...<_< But it's totally worth it. I may not be home schooled anymore, and I may not have ever attended a "real school," but this is a great experience and hey! I get a jump-start on my college - without paying anything!

So here I am today, with one class at 11 O' clock AM: Freshman Composition. Apparently many many PSEO students attend the college I'm going to. It looked like a normal high school to me! But maybe that's because I've never been to one...

Anyway, I had to navigate my way through the million backpacks and chatty students to my classroom. Upon arriving I get to see my best friend, Hannah, as she leaves the very same class. Which was a surprise, seeing as our schedules didn't fit, so we didn't know if we'd get to see each other at all.

I knew no one in my class. But that's okay. The teacher was nice, and I'm actually looking forward to the rest of the year.

Tomorrow, I go back to Freshman Comp. But all my other three classes start tomorrow also. I start out with Fitness for Life 1 (which is a total bummer, because there are no showers! Can you say WHOA! BUMMER! *UGH* At least I only have it on Tues and Thurs), then Freshman Comp (4 days a week), Personal Finance (2 days a week), and Beginning Spanish 1 (re-taking Spanish 1 because apparently the year I took my Sophomore year wasn't enough). That last class is 2 and a half hours long. Pray I will survive!!!!

So that's it for now. I am extremely tired from class, rehearsal with my mom, and shopping, so I believe I shall complete some homework and take a nap! =P

God Bless!

Haiku for You

Oh dear...Hey, readers, I am terribly sorry for neglecting my blog. I know this is always my excuse, but I really have been really really really busy. Like, it's insane. I want my life back! lol...

Rather then telling you about my troubles, I'm posting a Japanese Haiku I wrote today based on something I saw last night. It's one of my first ones so don't be too critical! XD Enjoy!

Crawling on my web
At the ATM machine
Watching cars go by

People peering close
At my slick web in progress
Shuddering at the sight

Pushing in the card
Making a quick deposit
Vroom! They are gone now
