Back to school...

Okay I have something to admit, I miss being at home with my parents. As I have stated before I love it here but there is something about Marion that I miss, who knows. I got so used to being home for the first time in awhile that leaving was very hard so I am trying to remember one thing "If god brings you to it he will bring you through it.", it's very hard to remember and live by but it's very true I am a very good example of that.

I am a third generation Cyclone and have always dreamed of coming here and to be in the band. I am a diehard Cyclone and as much as I think about going somewhere else to be closer to my best friends from high school nothing would be able to take me away from this awesome place. I did not fully apply myself in high school and it almost cost me admission into Iowa State. I ended up getting all the requirements met to get into ISU but I was not in the top half of my class (I have some complaints about that but it there are a lot of politics in it and I try to stay away from that). In order to get into ISU I had to come here last summer and take a couple classes in order to prove that I was able to work at the level needed to go here. I passed those classes and was admitted as a full time permanent student. Some people ask me why I am here as a journalism major when there are other better journalism schools like Missouri and Wartburg, I don't really care It's ISU.

Staying on the topic of school my schedule this semester does not look that bad thankfully except for English. I went to English today and the professor is russian with not too bad of an accent however she will be very strict and a tough grader so I will be getting some help from my sister (who just graduated from UNI with a degree in Journalism if you know of any job openings) along with the Writing help center. Other than that my meteorology, statistics, and economics classes should go well. My music class, well it's there.

I am sorry if my last few blogs have been downers, I feel selfish for feeling so homesick when there are people who are away from their families for months and years fighting for our country. I will do my best to not be a downer from now on. I hope everyone who reads this has a great week! GO STATE!!! GOD BLESS!!!
