I totally suck for not updating this more. Will try harder...I haven't posted since before spring break. Spring break was amazing. I went on a mission trip to Petit Trou de Nippes, Haiti. More on that later (proabably in my Island Capri section, along with pictures).
Everything has been going alrighth for the most part. I'm not really sure how I'm doing in my classes. German is obviously fine, but I think I'm around an A- in spanish. I've started to pick it up in CS (A on last quiz woots). Crime in the media could go either way...depending on my last test. My first test I got an 84, which I was a little disappointed with. I've gotten 95's on all my summaries, and i got 100 on my outline/bibliography. Linear is my top concern right now. I got an 85 on the first test and :( 62 on my second. I have another test this Monday, so hopefully I can pull ahead with that one and the final. The good thign is my homework in linear has been steadily improving (100 on last one woots). It's so frustrating...on the last test I felt like I really understood everything, but there were just small mistakes that screwed me over. Today I'm going to see my prof during office hours...just so I can talk aobut my grade and how I can do better on this next test.
Dorm life has been pretty good lately. I wish I could say the same for other people on my floor. One of my friends has gone extremely anti-social lately. He says he's studying all the time, but no one could study that much. Every time I ask him if he wants to get somethign to eat he says he already ate (he's eating alone, which is is quite lonley). Also, he's lost a lot of weight lately. I know he's started watching what he's eating, but it looks a little dangerous.
Another kid has an even sadder story. He's from Taiwan, and he's kind of goofy. For some reason he never really fit in with everyone else. Everyone got along with him fine, but he wasn't really too involved with people. I would occasionally ask him to eat with me, but not as much as other people. Anyway, last week he started to be really quiet. Correction: silent. I was eating lunch by myself one day, and he saw me and sat next to me. I said "So, are you done with classes today?" and he didn't say anything; he just looked at his milk carton. I was like alright and I continued to watch TV. When I was done I said "Well, I'm going back" and just left him there. What was I supposed to do? He wasn't talking. A couple days later he randomly sprinted from one end of the hall to the other. I don't know what he's trying to do. Maybe a desperate cry for attention? Well, on Friday, I came back to the dorm and there was an ambulance and 2 cop cars outside. I went up my floor, and the cops were just on their way out. I asked my RA what happened. He said the kid had apparantely stopped going to classes and answering his phone, so they came to check up on him. He ended up being taken to the hospital, and I haven't seen him since.
I hate to end on that kind of note, but not much else is happening right now.
I'll talk to y'all's later
so long!
