Week of August 23

Another long week! Classes are going great so far, I have classes everyday. This means I also have assignments most days. I've been doing pretty good with managing my school work and social life. This week's first activity was "Safe Sex and Coladas" and I had a delicious s'mores milkshake. 

My weekend was very exciting! I went on a shopping trip with my roommate on Friday. We both got bags and bags of clothes and shoes. The only bad part about this was walking to the nearest bus stop with our heavy bags. It was all worth it! On Friday night, we went bowling and I am still horrible at bowling. There were several rounds where I had zero points, but I had a great time hanging out with everyone! 

On Saturday, I spent all day at a local beach. I'm used to lots of sand on the beach with occasional seaweed. This beach had rocks as soon as you enter the water, so I slipped several times. It felt amazing floating in the water. We grabbed a bite to eat at a local restaurant, swam, and ate dinner also while we were out there. 

I chose to relax on Sunday and catch up on some school work. This week shouldn't be too busy, but I do have a math quiz to study for.

    I wish I could have a s'mores milkshake. I also relaxed on Sunday and caught up on school work. Are you going to go bowling again?

The Addams Family

     We had a pajama themed movie night! We all dressed in our favorite pjs and headed to the local cinema on Tuesday. We saw The Addams Family, I have never seen the original but I enjoyed this one. I mentioned this in a previous blog but I love the movie theatre prices and food selection available here. Our dance midterm was both a written test and a choreographed dance. I was not too excited for this because I know very little about dance. However, I enjoyed the assignment and got wonderful feedback from my professor.       Recieving mail here has been pretty dificult, but I ordered a package from Amazon and got it in a few days so that was great! However, i'm still waiting on a package my dad mailed from back home. This has been one of the best week since I got here. It just felt very refreshing and I got some much needed sleep. On Saturday, we went to the beach, I got to have Louie and Nacho's again. When I find something I like, I pretty much stick to it, so I had the

First Week of Classes

Image
Classes started on Monday and I was so nervous because I had no idea what to expect. This semester, I  have 2 classes via zoom and 3 classes in-person. I love the in-person classes because I get to interact with people and I'm tired of online classes. My professors are lovely so far, my largest class has about 20 students and my smallest one is 2 students (another student and I). Campus is very small compared to UofSC. There are also only a few classrooms, so I definitely can't get lost.  Residence Life hosts many events throughout the week and I am very grateful for that. This week, we had  a game night, a paint night, and ended the week with a trip to the local movie theater. I was so surprised by the food prices! Everything was affordable compared to movie theater food at home, which is so expensive. I remember a small popcorn and drink was $4, they also had wings, quesadillas, nachos, hotdogs, and so much more. We saw Protege, which was an amazing movie, and I would rate a

St. Thomas for Homecoming

Image
       St. Thomas was AMAZING to say the least! I had such a good time and enjoyed our week over there on their campus. The best part was the food and my least favorite thing was the sleeping arrangements. The food was delicious, we had quite a wide variety and I got some of my favorite items I've been missing like pork sausage, ribs, and breakfast items! The rooms were just tight and I couldn't imagine sleeping there for an entire semester, maybe in another dorm, but this specific one was two small for two people.      I aside from the food and rooms, I loved the campus. There was lots of walking and big hills, but they have a beach on the campus, sports, and life is so much busier over there. We went on an island tour to learn some history of the island but for the most part our days were jam packed with basketball games during the HBCU Classic. Some of the universities from the states came down and played in several games during the week.      We closed the week out with a g
