November 30, 2011

I am so sick! I have a very bad cold and my head hurts really bad. I went to the doctor today and she gave me some medicine so that I can get better soon. Hopefully I can get better by Saturday! My dance group is having a show this Saturday and we have been preparing for it for months. If I am sick it will ruin everything. I took my medicine already and I have been resting a lot but I can't rest too much becauswe I have a lot of work to do. I am currently doing my POLS195A homework, I just finished my POLS 100W essay, and soon have to start on my essay due Monday for my POLS 160A class. On Tuesday I am presenting for POLS 100W and Wednesday I have review for my POLS 160A final. Thursday I have 2 papers due and the week after that I have finals. I am so nervous. I know I can do this but I have been feeling overwhelmed with all the work. I just have to organize myself. I can do this! Hopefully I get better, I hate being sick!

I am on my way home for the third time this week. I went home Monday and Tuesday. The reason is that my dance group from Salinas is having a show this Saturday. I was not planning to go to practice, I was just going to show up for the performance on Saturday but my dad got a job in San Jose and commutes everyday. I have been coming back to San jose at 5 in the mooring when he comes to work and leaving when he gets off. It has been a tough week but I really need to go to practice. I already know the dances being performed but I want to feel confident or Saturday. I am scared about one of the dances. Its a solo which means that only one couple dance it. My instructor decided to give me that solo. It is a really tiring dance and I don't know if I can do it. I'm scared! Hopefully everything goes well. I'm excited about dancing with my group, I've missed them.

November 3, 2011

It's cold and raining outside. It's such a gloomy day. I was having a good week until i went to my 9:00 class thismorning. I got a paper back and I did not do too good on it. It was so bad that the teacher told me that I need to see a writing tutor. I guess I just have to work harder. I am just used to getting A's in my community college and now that I am at SJSU I realize that I am not as smart as I thought. I am doing well in my Monday and Wednesday class and that one I am not too worried about but I just have to put more effort on the rest.
This week I had my first performance with the dance group from SJSU. It was not what I expected. It is very different than my old group. I miss my old group. I will be performing with them next Saturday in Fresno and I cannot wait. This weekend should be fun. My friends are coming to visit and we are going to a concert at the convention center. That should be fun.
