A Big, Long Update

Hey y'all.

So I know I am a terrible person and have not written in my blog since, oh I don't even know when! But I am now. :)

A lot has happened since I last wrote. From classes to birthdays, to car problems, and to transfers, this month has been insane.

Classes have been good so far :) No complaints on grades or the actual classes, except my chemistry class where my teacher still can't teach the material and would rather talk about herself instead. But I guess some people are just like that. I have been back and forth on whether or not mechanical engineering is right for me or not. At this point I'm sort of leaning away from the aerospace field and more toward something like biomedical engineering. How awesome would it be to create some kind of machine that helps people in the hospital to get better or that would help the doctors do a certain operation without causing the patient too much pain during recovery?? What do y'all think?

Along the lines of school, I am transferring schools this coming spring semester. UNM HERE I COME! I am so excited. Tech is great but it just isn't right for me. The classes aren't bad, as I said, but the atmosphere is all wrong. I don't feel happy here and I'm never wanting to go out and do things, which just isn't me. I would love to go to a big movie night or go to Starbucks and get coffee with my buddies but considering there is one theater in town that has ONE screen and NO Starbucks (sad...), it is really hard to do that. So I am transferring to UNM :) This week has been full of contacting my old high school to get my transcript sent and calling UNM to get my many questions answered. It will all be worth it when I get to come back home and stay. Dions, I'm coming back too! I will be so happy to work with my fellow Dions people again! :)

Another good note, my car is out of the shop!! :) There was some kind of sensor problem, with the speed sensor and some other sensor (I'm not sure which one), and connection problems between the sensors and the computer. But it is all fixed now :) My mom had to bring me back to Socorro last Sunday and Caleb is coming to pick me up and take me back to ABQ on Friday. Thank you guys for your help!! I love you both! :)

And last but not least, so many birthdays that have happened in the last month! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GILBERT! 3-0 brother. You're old. Just kidding!

Finally, Fall is almost here! :) It is such a nice season, not too hot, not too cold! :) And so pretty. 

I'll try to write more! :) I promise!!

Goodbye y'all!!
