...because it has become extremely evident that there is not any sort of schedule on which I rely to write on this blog. Because several months go by in between EVERY. SINGLE. POST. Which is dumb, but it's how it works in college, heh.
I believe the last time I wrote anything it was at the beginning of 2014, aka the beginning of the previous semester. And that, while it ended very well, began relatively poorly. I was taking the very, very last of my Gen-Ed requirements, which included taking a stupid, writing intensive English class & a class called Energy! (with the exclamation point), which was just dumb. But then again, that semester also included the best class I've taken so far at VCU, which was Crime & Science (also a Gen-Ed requirement, but much better), & also it held the class that essentially put me into my major, Intro to Criminal Justice. I am now majoring in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Forensic Crime Scene Investigation and this semester, I am diving into it, headfirst.
This semester I am taking Intro to Policing, Intro to Corrections, Sociology of Deviant Behavior, & Principles of Crime Scene Investigation. And this is the first semester that I've been in college where I have felt truly excited to be in these classes and learn from these professors. It takes an incredible amount of courage for me to come out and say this, because it makes me admit how...unhappy I'd been my previous four semesters here. (And that's not something that I'm very good at admitting. To anyone.)
So, here we go! On this crazy adventure ride that is college and actually having a major, and hopefully this semester will be my best one yet. (Fingers crossed for me, and for all you other students out there. Let's have the most wonderful times.)
In other news, however, Saturday is my 20th birthday. So party on.
