What a month so far! The weather’s getting colder (which isn’t unusual at all for Maine) and we’re already talking about registering for our classes next semester! There’s so many courses to choose from, I just don’t which to take… Not only that, but in some of my classes we’re having midterms (I have my American Literature Midterm this coming Thursday) and I have two papers due in November.
Despite trying very hard to focus on my studies, I find my mind drifting off to the upcoming Holiday season, with Halloween kicking off in a few weeks. I’m not sure what I’m going to be this year, but I have SOMETHING in mind. Although I won’t be going Trick-or-Treating, I’ll still be hanging out with one of my best friends that night! It’s going to be TONS of fun!
Another thing about the Holidays is that I’ve already started some of my Christmas Shopping, but I’m not the only one. Some of my friends started Christmas shopping in September. It’s actually kind of fun…because you can buy gifts for your family and hide them in your room at college until you go home, and then you surprise them on Christmas and they’ll be all “When did you get this? I didn’t see you leave for any shopping?” Oh yeah, it’s fun.
Working as a Tour Guide for the Admissions Office has been fun. I’ve helped out with one tour and gave one already. I was nervous, since this is my first year, but I think I did pretty well! We have our Fall Open House this Saturday and I’m part of the Student Panel and also a Tour Guide, so if any of you potential SJC Students are reading this and are attending the Fall Open House this Saturday…see you then!
