First Week of School/A Little of my Life

I have officially finished my first week of my fourth year at San Jose State University. I must say that this year is very different than any other. Students trying to add classes, budget cuts and furlough days, and higher tuition. Luckily last semester I was a note-taker for someone in my class and received priority registration. I am very happy because I was able to get all my first choice classes! I have a larger workload this semester with 3 upper division Political Science classes and an upper division Communications class towards my minor. I have no doubt that I will do well in my classes because I am a dedicated person, but it will take more time management and focus.

I used to work part-time, at a private elementary school running an after-school program, but this year I was laid off because of budget cuts. . . what is our world coming to?! For now, I am a full-time student and actively looking for a new job. I am hoping to obtain a position at a law firm to gain some experience for my future career goals. I have held a steady job since I started college, but for now my unemployment will allow me to mainly focus on school.

Living through my first week of school, has given me a little insight on what I should expect for this semester. My main goals this semester are to get straight A's, find a job, and to have fun! I hope to blog about accomplishing all of my goals throughout this semester.
