My Name

So I would have to say I have a rather weird name. Of course that is in my opinion. For some strange reason my parents decided to name me Kendra. According to my mother, she was debating between Katie or Kendra. Why couldn't she just be normal and name me a common name? Yes, I like my very uncommon name, but I would have to say I do receive some very odd looks when my name is asked. I guess I am getting used to those looks though due to the fact that my name will always forever more be "Kendra."

Procrastination

I am a major procrastinator. According to my roommate, I am one the best procrastinators she has ever seen. I try to stay organized and usually know when all of my assignments are due, but I can't seem to get them done early. It would be so much easier and less hectic if I would just do them early and be done. Yet, I am still going to be staying up all night doing my assignments last minute. Procrastination is a terrible habit of mine and it definitely needs to be broken!!

Starbucks Coffee

I am a huge fan of starbucks coffee. My all time favorite drink would have to be a white chocolate mocha frappuccino. They are the absolute best thing ever. Unfortunately, they are super fattening especially if you leave the whipped cream on top. In my opinion the whipped cream is one of the best parts of the drink. I try not to drink alot of coffee but sometimes I just can't help it! It is way too tempting to be studying in the library and that close to starbucks. So of course, I have to get at least get one drink while I am studying away!

Finals

I have my first final this Friday. It's a psychology final and I haven't started studying yet. I have done pretty well in the class though and I hope I can do well on this last test. It's non-cumulative so I think I should be okay as long as I start studying by tomorrow. My other finals are on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week. I am more worried about those. My biology final will impact my grade more than any other final. I am terrified to take it. I plan to begin studying for it tomorrow so that then I will have a week of studying behind me before I have to take it.

second semester

My second semester of college definitely flew by! I think things went alot smoother and I easily adjusted to my school work better than last semester. I liked all of my teachers. I just hope I did well in all of my classes. My first semester seemed very hectic. So I was glad that this one went so much better! Hopefully, the rest of my semesters at Southern will go by like this past one!

Biology

I am taking a biology class this semester. The lab for the class was rather easy. However, I am doing terrible in the class. I attend every class meeting and take notes but I just can't seem to do well on my tests. I have received extremely low grades on my tests and fear that they will impact my final grade drastically. I study and try to prepare myself to the best of my ability but I just can not seem to get it together for this class. My teacher is really nice but confusing at times. Maybe I just need to study more. I just hope that I can make a C or better in this class or I will be stuck retaking the class to better my chances of getting into nursing school here at southern.

Book Reports

I have an upcoming book report due this week. However, I have not wrote a book report since about the fifth grade. It is required to be around four to five pages, but I have no idea how I am going to be able to stretch the report out. The book we are required to read is called Night by Elie Weisel. It is a recollection of conditions and situations faced by a boy and his family who are Jews during the second World War. I am not quite finish reading the book. Thankfully, the book is somewhat interesting and keeps me eager to read more rather than boring me out of my mind. Hopefully, I can finish up this assignment and do well on it!
