Tuesday Blues

Well, it's not Tuesday, but I wanted to write this then! Basically, I feel like Mondays are way better than Tuesdays.

1) The weekends refresh and rejuvenate enough to let Monday slip by
2) Catching up with coworkers keeps you occupied
3) Traffic isn't TOO bad... well, for my commute anyway (compared with the rest of the week)

Tuesdays... blah! You really start "feeling" the weight of the week (I notice more people have meetings on this day at my work than any other day), and there's still the rest of the week to go!

No Fines for my Pet Peeve Violation... Phew!

One of my pet peeves is people being closed-minded, and sadly, I caught myself doing just this! I've been a student at West Valley since college was a new journey for me. And then when I dropped out and was inspired to return, I continued my schooling there, where I was a confident student that joined clubs and was academically inspired. Due to budget cuts though, I was forced to attend De Anza College if I wanted to pursue Journalism. My boyfriend attends De Anza, and so I was somewhat excited about it, but for the most part disappointed and adamant about how good of school it could be for me. Maybe the inner shy girl didn't like this vulnerable feeling.

Well, I've just completed my first week at De Anza, and I've gotta say, I'm surprised and enjoy it! There's a lot of students on campus, giving me an opportunity to visualize a 4-year campus, and of course as a Journalism student, this gives me many opportunities to investigate and profile students with unique lives. Even though it was hectic getting things situated with Financial Aid and Admissions and Records Offices, I'm glad I made the decision to attend school here. Plus, it's kind of nice hanging out with my boyfriend in between classes - it's something to look forward to!
