Prompt: Giving Gifts

 
      I love gift giving! The term 'it is more blessed to give than to receive' definitely rings true with me. There is something about the reaction on people's faces that is so priceless when they open a gift.

     One thing I am nervous about is actually shopping for the right gift that's for the right person. I'm always like will he/she like this? I hope I'm buying the right thing? etc. Normally when I do the gift bought, I'm content with my purchase.

     I've actually already started my gift shopping. Last night I went to Wal-Mart and bought Christmas thank you cards and some chocolates for my teachers, because if any people deserves gifts this year, it's them! Now I have to buy for my sister-in-law and my best friend and I am at odds to know what to get them!!!??

     The truth that Christmas is a time for gift giving never sat well with me, because anytime is a time for gift giving

...but it is the best time to get great deals for gifts...

I'm a little late because my internet is slow, but I really, really wanted to do this one!!


Prompt: A little change in weather

Saying that there is a 'little change in weather here in Virginia is a bit of an understatement. The weather has changed dramitically!! First it's almost 100% one day and then down to 60% the next. I'm not complaining, it feels amazing!!!

We have had a brutal hot summer this year and so the cooler weather feels incredible! I love love love Fall time! It's definitely my favorite time of the year. It is so beautiful when the leaves starts changing different colors, like red, yellow, and brown. And theses colors aren't dull, they're bright! You can see them almost a mile away! It many ways, it almost looks like a painting when the leaves change colors and the sky becomes a paler blue. It's just beautiful.

For a couple years it actually snowed! Two years ago we had snow from Dec. to March, a rarity for Virginia, it didn't snow last year, but I am so hoping it will this year!

Prompt: Anxiety

I get very anxious very easily. I worry way way too much and stress over the little things. As a kid it was about what I would wear or what I would do in school or even who I would talk too. Now adulthood has taken that and multiplied it by 100.

Since starting college I realize why it's so important to have proper finances, sure financial aid is great, when you have it at least. Then there are issues like a working car and getting gas money and being able to make money for both.

Then there are classes, I only have two for now and they're fine, but what about next semester? I'm doing all right now, but what if I don't later on? What if I really am a failure and college isn't meant for me???

Then I relax and unwind and think, I've made it this far in college and I know I can go farther. I have a car and money in the bank for the repairs. Work has always come when I need it. And to top it off I'm still at home with a room and meals to eat.

Stress can either kill you or it can make you have a better perspective on life. I think the latter is the most preferable.

I discovered this over NoteBookSisters and found it really interesting. So...here's my first attempt : ) Click on the link below to learn more about it.

So my first week of college started this week and I am completely worn out. Well not really, more stressed than anything. I've never experienced classroom life before and it was all a very scary and new experience for me.

The strangest thing was actually going shopping for school supplies! Like shopping for notebooks and pencils and I even bought a backpack! It's new, but very fun too.

My classes are interesting. I'm only taking two right now. English and Math. English is fairly easy, but math, like always, has been difficult. All my work is done on the computer. So I thought I had all this crazy amount of homework to do and I was getting super stressed and everything, worried that I wasn't going to get it all done.

Then I called my teacher about it and she told me that I had gone far ahead of everyone else! Like four or five classes ahead of everyone else! So, as you can imagine, the stress level went from 100 to about 75. Utter relief has never felt so good.

Stop 5 min.

I hope that was good for my first time : )
