Things I'm Suppose to Know for College

So basically my College Success teacher told the class that we needed to read the first chapter of our textbook before class today. So this morning I was skimming over it, and it was discussing things you needed to get/know before starting college.
Things you needed to get:

• Notebook, pencils, pens, highlighters, etc
• Textbooks that are required
• Backpack
• Flash drive
• Laptop or desktop

And here are things I need to know: 

• How to type a word document 
• The very basics of how to use a computer

Needless to say, I don't understand the point of this class, but, at least, it's only one hour a week. 

I should be set for college success. 

Friday Afternoons

 So today has been a busy Friday, I had school today,  but I got to go to one of my favorite restaurants, which was fun. And now I'm at home with the fire going. Yay for warmth! It's cold today! 

Our fire! 

Me and my sister at lunch today. I don't know what was making me look so happy here. 

My sister, Bekah, and one of our friends Erika eating lunch at this cute restaurant downtown. 

Bekah at home on the couch. She just got a new Ipod this week with Siri, and she has been asking it all these ridiculous questions. 

Back in School Again

So my classes started back…three weeks ago? Something like that. I find myself spending a lot of time at the community college. Not so much because I’m taking a ton of classes but because I can’t drive to school. It isn't that bad because I find myself doing basically the same things here that I would be doing at home, plus being at college also reminds me to study. The main con is basically that the food here leaves something major to be desired, so I find my self going on the "granola bar or nothing diet" quite a bit. 

I am enjoying my classes this year. I don’t have to take math, a major plus, and I find most of my classes to be pretty interesting. I’m taking environmental biology, psychology, American literature, and college transfer success (this is the exception to the “interesting class” note I made). So far the class load hasn't been that bad, and my teachers seem pretty reasonable and nice. I think this is going to be a pretty good semester. 

A Little Bit About Me

I decided to start a blog because I enjoy writing and documenting the world around me. I also enjoy taking pictures, so this seemed like a good idea for me.

To tell you a bit about myself, my name is Abigail Elizabeth, but most of my friends call me Abbey. I am planning on studying journalism in college, probably with a concentration in broadcast, since you have a better chance at making a living with that major. Thanks dear internet for killing newspaper and magazine subscriptions.

I enjoy reading and writing. I’m a Christian, so that is the lens from which I see the world around me.

I think that is about all you need to know, or, at least, that is all I feel like sharing at the moment.
