Hello October!

Midterm exams are almost over with only two of them left: chemistry and humanities. I am not so worried about those two because I believe that I will do well. There is no reason for me to fail them because I have prepared for more than a week and ever since school started. Calculus exam was not so bad at all. I thought I would see some weird problems with trigonometric functions and pi's. Haha! There was not a single one of them in the exam. I even memorized the unit circle which could come in handy during the latter part of this course, and so it was not a waste. I am happy that I am starting to like calculus like how much I like chemistry. Surprisingly, I also like my other classes. The only one that bores me out of my wits is my humanities class. My professor is nice but then what will I learn from him just being nice? He talks the whole time about things that enters my right ear and leaves from the left. Anyway, I think I can get by with it. What's fun is that I got a second job to add to my juggling act. I am working everyday now with school and gym, too. I want to be busy and never idle like this because with rest and idle moments, there comes boredom. In addition, with boredom comes deep thinking of the past. I do not want to think of the past so much. I want my heart back. I want it whole. I am strong and I am getting there soon. Recovery was faster than I predicted. I am enjoying my life so much right now, but I am also being very cautious. I stick with the people with the same interest as me. As I have mentioned, or not, Burnham Hall (the Honors College building) is my second home. Right after I work out, I go there and chill by reading and doing homework. I hang out with my friends over there. During my breaks I stay there as well. It is very homy to me. I like it and the people that stay there. It is really fun! After school, I go straight to work. By the way, the second job is retail too. I work at Bath and Body Works now. Oh it smells so good at that place. I am so happy to be offered a position there. It is a complete change from smelling the aroma of coffee. The scent at the Bath and Body Works store relaxes me so much. It soothes my tired senses from overworking myself at the gym and school. So many things to do now.

I cannot wait for the holidays and go back to Canada for Boxing Day and New Year. I would love to see my family and friends again.

Work at 3pm till 8pm. Then readings must be continued. =)
