Easy day today :D Though of course it is still important and CAD is always kicking my butt, but with only 2 classes in the same building life is good today! Plus, I already have homework done that is due Thursday! Now just a little reading and I should be golden!
I got to hang out with Helena today during my lunch period so I was not a loner! Then I did some running around for a printing project before the second class of today. During FIT I redid my resume so now it is pretty! You can access it though my FIT 1012 blog if you are curious.
I tired to get my projects for my 3D CAD class to post but it failed! :( So Unfortunately you cannot see what I have been up to. But I assure you I am doing good and enjoying it immensely. Maybe later Alan can show me how the "cool tech nerds" do it.
In other news, I met Alan's sister and I think she likes me! I was so nervous!!! But I think I made a good impression! Her and her husband are really nice so hopefully we will get to see them again soon.
I think that is it for now. I can't think of anything else. Well if you have questions or want me to post about something specific feel free to post comments or leave me Facebook comments or messages and I will try to make sure I post an answer in a timely manner.

I will post my work schedule later! I don't have it yet :D
So far all my classes are going really well! I am enjoying the CAD classes immensely! The Digital Tech is easy, but okay. Leadership is hard and intense, but so far fun!
I have done 2 days of the 3 classes and it is not that bad. I have plenty of time to change books and eat meals. It only sucks taking the bus to get to my 1:40 class...annoying!
As for my roomies I like them so far. We have opposite schedules, but we always talk when we see each other. It looks like my new residence hall (Imperial) is a good suit for me. It is quiet, but friendly. Plus, it has a kitchen so I get up early to cook Alan and I breakfast Mon-Thur! It is really nice to sit down in the study room, put the TV on, and just enjoy a relaxing breakfast!
I am making new friends and catching up with the friends from last year. So far so good! I will try to post soon!

Amazing Me!
Calculus Test 2 I earned the highest grade in his classes again with a 28/24! On the actual test I got a 22/24 and the extra credit 6/13. The only problem on the test was I got a wrong Dervitative.
On my Causal Analysis Essay I earned an A for the first time! Woot Woot!
Science Test 2 I earned the highest grade in the class with a 94%! The average for the class was like 70%! And I only got 6 multiple choice questions wrong!
Then when we played BINGO I won a Starbucks gift card the first round! The professor told a DNA combination, we had to transcribe it into RNA then translate it into the amino acid! I won in ten minutes! She only had to call 6 DNA combination.
For my informative speech for Communications I earned a A on the writen porition and the speech itself!
Then today my Communications class was canceled, because the professor is sick. SO I got to go back to bed after turning in my persuasive speech stuff to the Arts and Sciences Department!
Life is GREAT!

Updates
Hello everyone!
Wow it seems like I have not updated anyone is so long! I have been so busy with classes, homework, work study, and clubs that I barely have a minute to myself. Luckily I am enjoying myself even though I get stressed on how busy I am.
For anyone that has not heard yet, I earned an A+ (52/41) on my first Calculus test. And in Science my first test score was 93/100! So I am pretty pleased with that. Both classes have a test coming up Monday so hopefully, I will continue to do well.
My English essays have been going pretty well. Raymond's Inspirations received a B and my Social Criticism Essay received a B+. After meeting with my professor I have an idea of what I am doing wrong so hopefully my Causal Analysis Essay that I turned in today earns the A, especially since it is worth more than the other two. If anyone wants to read essays that are not posted just tell me and I will send you a copy of it. The Social Criticism Essay and the Causal Analysis is on Eating Disorders.
My Public Speaking class is going wonderful! Tomorrow I get my grade for my first speech! I am so nervous! I also turn in my first speech analysis tomorrow, which I am suppose to be finishing up right now. :P But I needed a little break.
Work study is going well, except that I am not getting paid tomorrow like I should and I didn't receive my first paycheck either. Apparently, my time cards got lost so I have to resubmit them and hopefully get made for the 26 hours I have not got paid for and the 20 I am suppose to get paid for on the 28th.
Roommate situation is better! Thank goodness! Besides, I spend most of my time either in class or at the Downcity campus so I barely see them :D Normal roommates would agree I am the best roommate in the world, but they seem to disagree. How weird! I do not think they take into account we have opposite schedules for classes, so we would not be hanging out anyways.
Other than that I am giving mom date ideas for coming to CA and returning to RI for winter break after I hear from Alan's aunt. So Alan and my ticket will be purchased soon! I do have to say I am enjoying experiencing actual Fall though. Guess what? Leaves actually change to different colors throughout the season and stay that way for awhile before falling off the tree! Who would have thought that was possible! :D I crack myself up! As Carrie would say that is a knee slapper!
So far I have received letters and two packages! Granted on of the packages was medicine, but still. The feeling of getting snail mail makes me feel close to CA and all of you.
Miss everyone! Alright, time to get back to my speech analysis! Bye!
Love you!

Meeting Alan's Family
Tuesday night I had the pleasure of meeting Alan's mom, grandparents, aunt, baby cousin, older cousin and his wife. I fidgeted the whole way there, sneaked peeks at Alan, and tried to convince myself that I was likable. Alan's mom is in Providence for two weeks to help her mother with her father and of course see Alan.
The good news is Alan tells me his mom actually likes me though she says I talk loudly, with my hearing issues my volume has increased if you can believe that! I seemed to make a good impression on the others as well, which is a relief.
Apparently his aunt that I know well decided it was a great time to make sure I was embarrassed the entire night though. Every time I recovered from embarrassment she would say something else. Though I must admit his grandmother embarrassed me first.
Meeting your significant others family is stressful and nerve racketing. I cannot believe I made it through alive and with my checks not permanently red! :D
Goodnight All!

Bad Day
Mondays and Wednesday are official the worst days of the week, I despise them now!
First off, Calculus, the professor can not explain what is going on, he just can do the problem. Then he doesn't understand your question, but continues to answer a different question confusing you all the more. I was ready to throw my book and cry, when I saw my assignment sheet for the class. Alan had written, "Love you," on it. It calmed me down enough to get through the class without losing my mind.
Second off, English! Okay, this is suppose to be an honors college English class so why do I feel like I am in high school? The students don't participate, so I am left trying to hold a conversation/discussion with the professor. Really guys? Those that do, I am thankful for you.
Third off, Science. It ran late and I had to stay after to scan one of my group members notebooks because my copy went to the professor. Then there was so much o print and the printer was being rude.
Fourth off, I am sick of um, especially when it is every other word out of someone's mouth who is trying to explain something. Everyone around me does this, it is annoying. I use um but no to that extint.
The two things that saved this day were Alan and the thick chocolate milkshake we walked to Cold Stone to get me :D Hopefully today will be better.
(Might get to meet Alan's mother today, oh help me! I am scared!)

First Day At Work & Homework
My Federal Work Study is as a DA Assistant, working ten hours a weekend.
My Two Hours Today:
Sitting behind a desk, doing homework and occasionally saying, "Have a good day" or "Your ID please." Boring, boring, boring. But the good news is I did get all my science homework done, which was satisfying!
I did get to check in two guests for the hall, check two guests out, set packages on the ground, and put up posters around the two floors.
Luckily the person I was working with was nice and quiet, hopefully I get to work with her more. :D
Laundry day today at Alan's Aunt and Uncles' place, heading back to the dorms soon.
Calculus homework is finally done!! Limits are not so bad at the beginning it seems, mostly due to the fact I have the solutions manual which tells you how to do all the odd problems, so once you understand that you can do the even problems. I still want to know WHY the limits equal the value they do, WHY you do the process you do.
English teacher sent me an e-mail telling the class to take a test on grammar, I scored 74%, which makes me sad but oh well, nothing I can do about it.
For English I still have to read poems, write an analysis on one of them, write a social criticism poem, pick a topic for the social criticism essay, and read chapter nine. Grrrrr...looks like the library and I are going to be best friends for the next two days.
For public speaking I have to make an informative speech and have no idea what in the world to do it on. So by Tuesday I need to pick a topic and find three sources for the speech. In addition I need to read two huge chapters for this class.
Anyways, just wanted to tell everyone how it was going. Bye!
