So, this is the second week of English and Speech at Blinn.  I only have until August 4th, then the semester is over!  These two classes are probably the hardest one’s I’ve ever taken.  Not just because they are writing intensive, but also because they are condensed into one month, I am working 20 hours/week, and Blinn has challenging classes to keep their standards up.  I have a total of 5 major speeches to give and 4 major essays to write within the month.  But along with those assignments I have also had a lot of reading, smaller writing assignments, weekly quizzes in English, and other speaking activities in Speech.  Each class has a midterm and a final.  I’m not really sure why they are trying to fit every single assignment from the full semesters into the one month summer semesters, but it hasn’t been much fun so far.

Tomorrow, I will present my first major speech.  It is about how my jobs have influenced my dream to become big in the corporate world.  Working where I have, I now want to own a small company, not work in a large corporation.  Well, I had better practice the speech again.  Each one has to be 7-10 minutes in length, yikes!

Hopefully, you will hear from me again, if you don’t you know what killed me: summer school at Blinn.

Ok, so today I’m packed and getting ready to fly to Seattle this evening.  Last week, I watch the first 3 seasons of The Office.  I don’t know how I missed the train on this show!  It is so hilarious!  I’ll catch up on season 4 on Hulu.com.

I’ve watered my plants for the upcoming week, I’m pretty sure they will be fine.  I have about sixteen magazines, fourteen hours left on an eBook, eighteen podcasts, and about 4000 songs I can listen to for the trip.

When I get back, I plan on buying a mini-fridge.  I’m excited about buying one; not sure why, I just am.  Yesterday, I bought a new wireless router for the apartment.  The previous roommate removed the router that had been there, causing the internet to not work right.  It’s all fixed now.

Yesterday, I also had my parents pay for Blinn and I filled out my FAFSA.  There are so many things to do before you go on a long vacation.

I will be posting pictures, locations, text, and more online as the trip progresses.
