They say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
Since my last post, a lot has changed. For example, my classes. I have been doing EMS for a couple weeks but found out that this would be to fast and too difficult for me right now. I just wasn’t ready for it. So I managed to drop this class on the last day we were allowed to do so. Instead I’m taking Welding now. When I was in Colorado around 2007/2008 I took Welding in High School and those credits were transferred to the college which I am attending right now. So it would be a shame if I wouldn’t go any further with it. I am taking Advanced Composition, Advanced Reading and Welding now. So that should keep me busy. And this is the last time I changed this semester.. cause I can’t change it now anymore. haha.
Besides school, I’m still waiting for my social security number so I can get my permit and/or license. I can’t wait until I get this, because, living this far from town and having no license and/or car, makes it kind of hard to do stuff. Like going to school, or hanging out with friends. I’m skipping the hanging out with friends right now, because I don’t like to ask for rides. For the “going to school part” we found a solution. In the morning when some of the people I live with go down to work. I ride along, and then when we get there I take the bus up to my college. Most likely this gives me a lot of time at the college, which is kind of nice. Because then I can either make my home work or just do some research in the library. Only it sucks when I’ve done all of my home work already. So yeah.. but you know how it goes. Life goes on!

I like it!!! I think it’s great the progress you are making. I can’t even imagine trying to go to school in a foreign country. Trying to navigate our own system is hard enough having been raised here. So you should be proud of how you can get through it being from Holland.
You will succeed and do well!!

Thanks Deb, it is kind of weird to be in this situation. Even though everything is pretty much figured out. But I do believe it would be a lot easier when I either had a car so I could go where and whenever I wanted to go somewhere.. or lived in town..
