Spring Semester 2O11

In just nine days, the Spring Semester '11 kicks off on Tuesday, January 18th. During the past few weeks of winter break, I've been able to take full advantage of staying up until the wee hours of the morning and sleeping in until the late afternoon. Luckily, I have a part-time job to help with the occasional boredom and restlessness, however, I am ready to get the academic year off to a great start! This semester, I'll continue with the traditional second-semester follow ups. Here is my official Spring '11 schedule:

HIST 1302
FREN 2311
BIOL 1409
ENGL 1302

for a total of 13 credits. I can't wait until I start applying to my prospective universities in a little over one month from now. One more week of 'solitude'.

The New Year is Here: MMXI

Oh how quickly time passes. I can't believe that the year for which this blog is named is actually here—2O11. As I've mentioned earlier, I created this blog back in November 2009, during my very first semester of college. The intent was to locate a four-year university where I would transfer to and track my journey. . . and I have done just that.

Over the course of this blog, I have gone through my fair share of both adding and removing schools. In October of last year, I actually had the opportunity to visit three of the schools I'll be applying to next month: American University, George Washington University and Georgetown University. This trip to D.C. alone confirmed everything I had hoped for: a great city, beautiful campuses, mass transit and of course, water (the Potomac). It's hard to believe that within 8 months or so, I will be a student at one of these schools!

With 2011 here, and the spring semester just one week and a half away, I have to bring my A-game to my final semester here in Dallas. After three consecutive 4.O semesters, being listed on the President's Honor Roll and receiving an invitation to join Phi Theta Kappa, I am more driven and focused than I've ever been. This is it!
