This and That

This past week has gone pretty smooth. My social life is slowly coming back to life again. My first couple weeks of school were very lonely, but plans are popping out of nowhere. My friends are starting to come over more, and I'm starting to go out more as well. Last week, my friend Avalon came over, and we just hung out and had a very nice Saturday night. As far as future plans, I'm still not sure what’s going to happen this next week. I want go see Jerry Lee Lewis on Saturday, the 15th at the Pomona Fox Theater, but that's a maybe. But Thursday, I'm planning on going to my first rockabilly/new wave club with my good friend Adis. I'm very excited for that.

As far as my academic life, I'm a little behind on my reading for Reading class, but I'm catching up. We’re reading “The Things They Carried”, by Tim O’Brien, and I’ve found myself appreciating it more the second time around. I read this book my junior year of high school, and a lot of the themes are coming back to me. Also, I’m very surprised at how much I’m getting from the chapter readings, and all the practice we do in class with the different types of text book examples. I’m really finding all these new reading skills very useful. SQ3R is amazing! I've actually found myself talking about it with a few friends. I'm such a nerd! But it really is useful. So far, my first essay for English went pretty good. I'm confident in my work, but as far as what my professor thinks, we’ll find out on Monday. I’m hoping for the best.

And for this upcoming week, I’m planning to stick with what I’ve been doing. I really just need to set more homework time. I can’t be leaving things for the last minute anymore, that’s bad!
