But here I get a second chance of fixing what, I believe, I messed up first semester. Many people tell me that I did fine for a first semester college student coming from a 4A high school to a 4 year university. But I don't think that's an excuse and I don't intend to use it as one. I intend to use last semester's performance as a motivator and a wake-up call that I desperately needed.
So far, I am right on track. (: I'm doing well in my classes (89 on a Calc2 test, and 84 on Chem188!) and I'm sleeping a lot more! I'm also finally exploring the KC area and getting really active in the KU community.
Mat Kearney
A couple weeks ago, I took Claire to her first concert! It was Mat Kearney (Nothing Left to Lose, Breathe In, Breathe Out) at the Beaumont Club in KC. It was amazing!! He was funny, walked through the audience and had a guitarist that looked like a dream... and he was only 21 ;) The only bad thing was they didn't have a meet and greet... Shame. ;)

Best Friend's Day
It's really a shame Greek Life can't be the same everywhere. Because if KU Greek Life was like Emporia Greek Life, then I would totally be a sorority girl! I went to visit Amanda and Levi at ESU for the Tri-Sig's Best Friend Day! It was a scavenger hunt where the Tri-Sig's had their best friend come up for the day and make some awesome memories. After, I decided to stay the night in Emporia since it had been so long since I had seen my Emporia friends... I even got to see Brogy! It was a great weekend becasuse the night before, Jessica, Kenton and I went to see Star Wars 3D... It blew my mind. 'Nuff Said. :)

Just Another Night Out
This weekend, Juli, Robert, and Reed and I went to see This Means War... Best movie ever! Juli and I were pretty much having a contest with the old ladies down in front who could laugh the loudest and catch the most dirty jokes. If you want to go see this movie... Do it. You won't regret it (:
Also since I've been back, Claire and I have been destroying my movie collection going through about five a week. I am pleased to say that I haven't picked one out she hasn't liked yet!
I learned a lot here my first semester (and a bit of the second). But nothing more important then the fact that I am not perfect. I will never succeed at everything, and it's high time I learned to fail. Over break, I had several talks with several people about what I was doing wrong... and one stood out to me.
One friend told me that yeah, this is a transition year.. and yeah, it's hard... but now that I've slightly got my foot in the door, it's time to be a big girl and learn from my failures here. He said that I have so much drive and passion for what I am doing, I shouldn't let my doubts and fears get in the way. And I refuse to give up. I know what it's like to fight for something you want and I intend to do so... This semester is still a learning semester, and so will the next two...
But just know, I am definitely trying. <3
