Other Classes

This semester I thought I was going to try to take easier classes, and so far I was wrong. I took Macroeconomics, Basic Japanese 2, Thought and Writing, and Direct Encounter of the Arts (DEARTS). Thought and writing and DEARTS are not too bad, however, macroecon and japanese are way hard. On my first two exams for both of these classes I failed both of them! Even in Japanese I am struggling with the newest vocab, it's really hard to keep up. Stress is as at an all time high for me, I am trying my best to do better, hopefully it works.

Class

We are currently analyzing a movie and a piece of music, and to me, that sounds great! I have always enjoyed analyzing things because it's so based on opinion that you cannot be wrong. I love sharing my opinion and I love hearing other people's opinion. I'm really looking forward to this assignment, I think it'll be a lot of fun and easy!

Touching up

One problem I have always had with my papers is touching things up and revising them, I cannot figure out what is bad in an essay or paper because how I wrote it is how I think it's best. Through a rough draft I already fix mistakes that are written and make my story as best as it can be before revisions. So when in English class we were told to make revisions I freaked out a little, I didn't know what to do, so I did the best I can and I feel as though I could've done better.

Carrie and Opinions

As of recently we've been watching the movie Carrie in class, and been told to discuss our opinions on the movie based on characters, hidden meanings, and the such. Personally I have never enjoyed analyzing movies because I have never been a big movie watcher. Being made to watch a movie for an assignment has me dreading this assignment already and I haven't even really thought about what movie I should even do it on. Personally, I'd rather get into a discussion about more practical things like politics and sciences and inform myself on others' opinions on those topics. However, knowing the arts and how somebody feels about it can really give you a clear description on how that person may be personality wise. At least, that's how I feel, which is why sometimes it's good to analyze arts with others, you can really get to know somebody, on the contrary talking about things that are more, for a lack of better words, intelligence based, you cannot really understand the person personality wise, however on how they see the world and it's entirety. I went a little off topic, but all in all I'm currently dreading what we're doing in class and hopefully it isn't as bad as it may seem.

Maybe a switch to an earlier blog?

So after talking with my dad about schooling he advised that I should try to go back into engineering, that he thinks I still like it and shouldn't just give up. If I do for some reason decide to become an engineer again then I would actually be able to stay at WMU and not have to transfer, which makes me so happy because I love it here at WMU, it's great. While I still would want to go to EMU because my brothers are nearby, and the SAG major sounds fantastic, WMU holds a place in my heart that is near and dear. I cannot explain why it does, but it just does. I fell in love with WMU and I never want to leave, which is why I am so tempted to stay. If I were to stay I would finish out my Japanese minor, and perhaps gets a Business minor with an Engineering major. Which in all actuality sounds amazing and something I could totally see myself doing and it makes me really happy to think about. So all in all, I'm hopeful about keeping a future at WMU.
