My first week at SJSU was okay. I still haven't adjusted to the large campus. For my first week, I tried adding classes that required me to walk all over the place. I am also taking the VTA light rail to school to save gas and money. If I could get my Bachelor's Degree at Mission College, I would do it...

Nervous
San Jose State University starts this Thursday for me. I can't believe that one year ago, going to SJSU was just a plan; a plan I wanted so badly. Now I'm actually going there! =*) Exactly one year ago, I felt like I accomplished nothing in life or that it was taking me forever to get things done. Since then I obtained my Associate's Degree in Social and Behavioral Science AND got accepted into San Jose State University. What an exciting and challenging 2009-2010 school year for me.
Now that SJSU is starting, I have the opportunity to finally get my Bachelor of Science Degree and make my parents proud =) I'm giving myself two years to get it and hopefully when I'm done with school I can finally begin the next part of my life. I think the main reason why I'm nervous is because SJSU is a new environment for me. It's a bigger school with new people. I'm looking forward to meeting new people and making new friends or re-meeting old friends. I'm hoping it'll be a new and fun experience for me.

School's over!
I can't believe the spring semester is over... I'll admit, it was challenging. But I couldn't have done it without my family and friends' support. I'm really thankful that the guys started a study session at Safeway every night and for being understanding when I couldn't hang out or by telling me to study when I wanted to have fun, lol. Special thanks to Mark for letting me borrow his scientific calculator for Statistics, thanks to John for helping me with Public Speaking, thanks to Brian for giving me a hard time which pushed me harder, thanks to Truth for helping me out with the SJSU stuff, thanks to Jerome Ronald Wilson for being study buddies even though we end up getting distracted, thanks to Sean for helping me out with my green car earlier in the semester. Thank you!! Thank you!! Here are my final grades:
Statistics - C
Public Speaking - B
Human Biology - A
English 1B - B
Stretch and Fitness - A
Now its time for me to prepare for the WST test on June 12th. I have an Orientation on August 10th. All out planning for Beach Day that's coming up on June 25th. Annnd time to job hunt. =)

Three more weeks of school
Spring 2010 semester went by fast. Reading my previous blogs, I was somewhat intimidated by my classes. Now that I'm nearing the end of the semester, I wish I could go back 4 months ago and slap myself. I enjoyed Statistics, Public Speaking, Human Biology, English 1B, and Stretch&Fitness. If I were to choose the hardest class, it'd be Human Biology. Only because there's soooooo many things to memorize. Public Speaking wasn't that bad. After a while, I stopped getting nervous. Each presentation became less and less nerve-racking (meaning: I was able to sleep the night before my presentations, lol).
Last month, I received a letter stating that my application for SJSU was denied. I was so sad! All because I forgot to put my GPA in the application. So I e-mailed the Admissions Office, and they told me to send my unofficial transcript before April 30th, which is exactly what I did. So right now, I'm waiting for an acceptance letter. I worked really hard these past two semesters just so I could transfer by Fall, and I'm pretty proud of myself nonetheless. As much as I'd love to go to SJSU this Fall, I'm not going to let it bring me down if I see another letter of denial. I proved to myself how far I can push myself and that means a lot to me. I registered for classes at Mission for the Fall just in case I don't get accepted to SJSU. Wow, typing this up sounds sad! On a happier note, I'm receiving my Associates of Arts degree with emphasis in Behavioral Science when this semester is over. I can choose to walk if I wanted to but I'd rather walk for a BA degree. At least now I can put "AA Degree" as my highest level of education obtained on my resumes instead of "High School Diploma," right?
Last month was Mae & Dave's wedding. It was sooooo beautiful =*) I worked on 4 girls: Kristine's hair and makeup, Joy's make-up, one of the flower girls' makeup, and Dave's mom's hair and make-up. April and Amy did a GREAT JOB on the other girls. At 9:00am, everyone was ready =) I'll post pictures up soon once Kristine decides to upload them!
