Hey y'all, haha everyone laughs at the fact that I say y'all. Anyways, how is everyone? I hope well. Sorry I haven't written anything in a long while. My computer kind of broke. (Or I dropped it and broke it.) So yeah, I still don't have much to write on here. Just letting everyone know what's up. I'll be getting a computer when my wonderful family comes to visit MONDAY!!! AHH I can't wait. Best present to recieve is my family. Even better, Zach's going to stay longer and we're going to GERMANY! whoo hoo. Also, I have someone else visiting. Alyssa! Not so much visiting me, but her boyfriend's here, so I get a glimpse of her while she's visiting! hehe. OOOOO. Hopefully, I'll get to go to Russia in March! Can't believe I might ... read more

I had my first week of classes this week! I also got a bank account, and I have money in it! I officially live in Cardiff... I guess. My first class, if I haven't already said it, is Reading Poetry. As you know the teacher makes me a bit nervous. I just feel like I'm not going to get the help I may need from her. Another thing is I don't feel that comfortable in her class. I feel as if I'm not connecting the way I should. Tomorrow, I'm going to her class, but she is to send me to the other teacher's class. IF he is on the same day! I looked up his class and all I found was he was on Tuesdays. It's at the same time as Reading/Writing Women, therefore, that's ... read more

I started my classes today! OMGOODNESS! The teacher for Reading Poetry really freaked me out! My housemates laughed at me when I said that. However, while Laura laughed, she also knew what I was going through. Just a bit at least. I don't know why the teacher, Dr. Alice, freaked me out so bad. It might have been that she was very direct and blunt. Good thing about today though, I talked to the teacher and she asked if I would be ok with transfering to another class. Same time, different teacher. YES! I didn't show how happy I was to do that, but I really was. Oh, and she wasn't trying to be rude. Some of the other people were suppose to be in the other class, but didn't know where to go. It was ... read more

SOOOO! Yep, this is about what you would expect from a bunch of new Uni. students... Going to figure out what in the world they are suppose to do for the first year at school! As an international student, we are not obligated to follow a certain path. Actually, we are encouraged to try something new. Do something you can't do at you home university, as long as it's ok... (Sometimes even when it's not ok!) I've discovered that I'm on the wrong campus. Seems this campus is for "Creative Action" and not so much "Creative Writing." Even though the ATRiuM, in Cardiff, is suppose to be the creative campus. If you didn't read the blog before this one then you are OUT OF ORDER! But I'll let you in on the whole "on this campus" ... read more
