"The Crazies"

No, this is not a promo for the new movie but a short description of what the past week or 2 has been....from the sculptor (making a brain model out of clay for my neuroscience class....not as easy as it sounds) to the movie critic (writing movie reviews for my English Comp II class) to the physicist(studying for a physics exam), everything has been quite chaotic, at least to me. Senior year has not been as easy as i thought it would be from getting resumes done and sent out to figuring out where i want to go and what exactly i want to do is really stressful but am trying to stay positive and i know i will figure it out at some point....trust me, i will:). Ok, so even though i have not reached the point of "the crazies" i sure was close to it..

long over due

yah, its been long over due and i am finally posting my first blog, Yay!. Having a journal was something i have always loved to do or have but then college came along(i hate when that happens..lol!).Speaking of college,it has been a bitter-sweet experience for me.

Sweet: The college experience is an opportunity that not a lot of people have had or will have especially from where i come from. i am so grateful for the opportunity to acquire knowledge which i can use to make a difference in the world.

Now to the bitter part, transitioning to college meant leaving my family, friends and the neighborhood i have known my whole life to fly thousands of miles across the Atlantic to the US, talk about "transitioning". Leaving Africa to the US has been a huge change for me and each day i still suffer from the culture shock but at the same time i have had some amazing experiences and met some amazing friends but no matter what, there is no place like home. overall, the experience has not been too bad, as am still trying to make the best use of the opportunity i have.

DWTS

DWTS= dancing with the stars, which is a T.V show that comes on ABC about celebrities that take part in a dance competition taught by professional dancers. Sometimes it seems unfair because the participants are sometimes musical performers and figure skaters that have an idea of dance which makes it unfair for other people who do not have an idea of dance. but who am i to complain, i love the show and i sometimes wish i could be one of the participants because i really love to dance. i find myself shaking my head or moving to the music when they dance, thankfully i am usually by myself when i do so i don't look crazy. but dance has been my passion for a while and as i wait for admission to medical school, i will try to explore and develop my dance talent which i do not want to die. once i have kids, i will make sure to enroll them in every dance class available because i think it is such a wonderful form of art expression.
