I'm back Baby!

On Sunday, I came back to my rightful place, UNH. I forgot how much I love living here. I have a spacious single at Smith Hall (the best dorm on campus), great friends, tremendous food and a great education. I felt like I never left. I am the most happy about walking around and looking at the sights on campus. But enough with the sappy stuff. This is my last semester and I am going to have to live it up. I only have one class on Monday nights, four classes on Tuesdays and three classes on Thursdays. I have Wednesdays and Fridays off which is awesome. I have to take advantage of my days off and do important errands that I may have to do.
I want to have fun this semester, but at the same time, I also have to be professional. My goal by the time I graduate on May 22 is to have a plan to look for jobs or already have a job. It is more frightening to look for a real job than graduating. A lot of people have asked me if I am scared about graduating. To be honest, I'm not. I am actually really excited about it. I have had the time of my life and it is something that I will never forget. I think that this blog will be my last piece of evidence of my status at school. Who knows how much longer Facebook or MySpace is going to last for. There will probably be a new crop of social networking websites to write a journal or contact with other people, but that is a different matter.
I have had three of my classes so far this semester and I like them a lot. Germs will be incredibly easy because there is no book and no essays. The class is about germs and how it affects the world, nothing more constructive than that. There are four online quizzes and from what I know of, they are not timed. The key to succeeding is to stay on top of everything and not forget about it. The History of American Sport and Physical Culture looks like it is going to be a lot more than just talking about sports. There will be politics, theories and how sports evolved the way it is today which is something that will fascinate me. Finally, the other class that I have been to so far is Special Studies in Film: Traditions in World Cinema. We are going to watch international movies and then write about it. So far, we watched Wong Kai Wai: Chung King Express. It was a romantic comedy and it was about how the people act towards each other in China. Each movie we watch a movie from a different country and then we have to write a 300 word response about it. I think it will expand my horizons to international movies. I am looking forward to that. The only class that I have not had yet is Sports Writing. This is the key course of helping me improve as a sports. I have already passed my other journalism courses that I needed to graduate. If I can do well in this class, it will be the final hurdle to increasing my confidence as a journalist.
So far I have been here for nearly a week. It does not depict of how my semester will turn out, but it gives me an idea of what my schedule will be like. I am really excited about being back and being more productive. As much as I loved being home with my family and friends, being a couch potato was really getting to my head. Since I have been back, I have been more productive and I cannot be any happier. I hope things turn out well. If it does, that means I will graduate and have a job at a newspaper or something that involves. I just have to be assertive and I will get what I want.
