Hello Friends,
This morning as I walked to class, I started to reminisce about last year. This time last year the weather was warming up, people spent more time outside of their dorms or apartments, and everyone was touched by the pandemic of Spring Fever. Well, I think it's getting to be that time again.
All of my classes are so close to being done, yet I feel as if there is so much to do. I took one exam today, and between now and the end of the year I have two exams in Research Methods, a quiz and a final in Hinduism, a paper to write for Hinduism, and multiple art projects and assignments for my art class.
Weekend life is picking up as well, as things with yoga club are escalating into a whirlwind of activities and undertakings. We are participating in Relay for Life this Saturday, and although it is too late to be registered as an official team, we are able to collect money for the cause and offer information and literature about the health benefits of yoga.
I still have a number of hours to finish for Ambassadors Club, (although after this is posted I'll be thirty minutes closer!) Tonight I'm scheduling classes for next fall. Starting my junior year scares me a lot.
Spring Air is Delicious,
Paige

I've truly missed you all
Hello Everyone,
I vowed when I began blogging, I would try with everything in me to avoid starting a post with the old, "So I've been so busy I've barely had time to blog," excuse, however that literally is the case!
This weekend though, I was very sick, which contributed not only to the amount of work I have to do now, but also my lack of ability to blog. Also, when you're only awake for 6 hours of the day, there is not much to report! There seemed to be a terrible bug going around; I'm blaming the rapidly changing weather conditions. However, a big thank you to Western medicine and Vitamin C, because I am as good as new! I celebrated (and maintained) this miracle recovery with washing my sheets and buying a new tooth bush (Mother, I hope you're smiling and taking credit for this!)
But to catch everyone up, I took two midterms last week, one was in Hinduism and one was in Research Methods. The Hinduism test I thought was very difficult. I was unsure of how to prepare for a test where the material was so abstract, and unlike the tidy nature of Research Methods I felt simple memorization and appilcation would not suffice. My Research Methods Test was more comfortable, and I hosted a study session the night before to prepare.
I got both of these tests back yesterday, and was pleasently suprised with both of the grades! Because I wrote an essay for bonus in Hinduism, I managed a 100% on the exam. Now I feel more comfortable about future tests. I think my advice to anyone with a professor for the first time would be to ask a lot of questions about the test format. It really helped me to expect a section of essays and identification.
At the beginning of the week, I met with a girl for tutoring. I am really enjoying this job and am glad I heard about and pursued the opportunity. I always advocate finding people within your major who you can collaborate with acedemically, and to become that for someone else is really a great feeling.
It has been raining a lot lately, which I would take any day over snow. Hopefully things brighten up by the weekend, I have some sundresses that have been feeling neglected. I feel bad for the poor, poor dears.
Promising never to neglect blogging for that long again (I really missed you),
Paige
