I can’t even keep track of the numbers anymore…but here’s some more of what I learned while attending SJSU.

I learned that Tenure is a thing…and some teachers shouldn’t have it.  Also, along these same lines…I learned that some teachers have it together and really know what they are doing, and some teachers could use a TA…or five?

I learned that driving through Gilroy smells like garlic..and garlic makes me think of garlic bread.

I learned…or was reminded, that nothing can separate me from the love of Jesus Christ.  In a time of paralyzing and freakishly out of character fear that lasted  for almost a month and half, these verses, (Romans 38-39, Philippians 4:8, and Psalm 91) and the support and prayer from my parents were like the only things holding me together.

I learned to find the humor in difficult situations

I learned that I can’t always just be shy, quiet, and introverted.  No, sometimes I’ve actually gotta talk to people, be outgoing and friendly, and be heard.

I learned that my back may never recover from carrying around a 200  pound backpack.

I learned that there is a part of me deep down that LIKES to learn.

I learned that I am the worlds slowest painter.  On a related note, I learned that Lifetime Christmas Movies are the worst.  Trust me…these two are related.

I learned what Melatonin is.  Also Known As my bff Monday-Wednesday.

I learned that it’s pretty much inevitable that at least once a semester, if not more, a migraine will come out of nowhere, derail me, and send me reeling while not knowing what the heck is even happening in my life. Ya’ll. It is so much fun.

I learned that downtown San Jose at Twilight is one of the glittery-est, and prettiest places.

And I learned that I’m done with this post.  Goodbye. =)

 

 

If you missed it, until I graduate later this month I’m gonna be listing some things that I learned at SJSU. Here’s my first post:  https://lovecandace.com/2013/05/03/what-i-learned/. And here’s some more!

What I learned number 300: Astronomy is incredibly hard.

What I learned number 300.1:  Astronomy is amazing and it blew my mind

What I learned number 300.2: God is huge, and amazing, and awesome, and an incredible artist.

What I learned number 27: How to handle the shock of walking in on a man using the bathroom.  See story here: https://lovecandace.com/2013/03/06/oh-hey-dude-sup/

What I learned number 654: Flames has a happy hour.  Flames has good drinks.

What I learned number 5,948,500: how to survive having my tonsils removed.  Oh wait I’m sorry, I meant how to survive HELL.

What I learned number 202: that scrubbing a black bathtub with bleach makes it white.  Just kidding I already knew that one!

What I learned number 7321: That it’s impossible not to have 8 o’clock classes.

What I learned number 1: When your Dorm room window is floor to ceiling, and faces directly into another one.  Shut the blinds.

What I learned number 95: Free gym = in shape.

What I learned number 36: If you unplug a strobe while it’s still on, the electrical current will arch through your body and you’ll die.  So don’t do it.  OK?!

What I learned number 274: That living with the Millers is the besssst.

Oh, hey! Remember me?  I used to blog…before my life turned into a tornado.  I am crazy insane right now with stressful, LONG writing assignments that don’t allow me to use my amazing humor…………………….rude. And I also have like 23 million photo things to do all starting from tomorrow to May 9th.  So basically what I’m trying to say is that you should feel special that I am taking this time to blog right now for your benefit…Since you missed my writing and all………………………

Anyway, the point to that little intro is that I’m graduating…..in 23 days.  Oh, you didn’t hear me correctly?  Don’t worry I can awkwardly repeat myself..no big.  I’m GRADUATING COLLEGE in 23 days.  Yeah.  I have no idea what I’m going to do with my life.  Actually I do…Just don’t ask me cause I don’t have a solid answer. Also, in addition to graduating, I finish my last class in 13 days. This would be exciting for me, but I have a 5 page (minimum) research paper to write within the next 12 days that I haven’t started yet…

Again, let me get to a point real fast with this rant of mine….Over the course of the next 23 days, I’m gonna TRY….(try being the key word here because everyone knows that I suck at blogging consistently…so give me a break.)……….I’m gonna try to blog about things that I learned while attending San Jose State.  So here’s ten:

What I learned number 458: The F-word, is used as a noun, adjective, verb, pronoun, adverb, preposition, and occasionally even gets used as a swear word.  ALSO, sometimes in a conversation when people say “F you” to you, they don’t mean it….meanly.

What I learned number 84739: despite their best efforts or beliefs, teachers will end up accidentally preachin some kind of truth about the God of our universe.  I love it.

What I learned number 21: Parking garages during the day=happy, friendly, cool shelters from the heat.  Parking garages during the night=female death traps.

What I learned number 1,690,000: When you work hard and put in effort, your teachers notice, and they want to help you even more.

What I learned number 382: I hate…hate..when people drive under the speed limit. I have massive mental road rage.

What I learned number 4357: No matter how honorable your intentions of going to bed early may be, it is inevitable that at the end of the night you will look at your clock and think “well….at least I tried.”

What I learned number 5: It becomes pretty obvious pretty quickly if friendships will develop out of your roommates.  You’ll either click right away, become close, and go to Denny’s together at midnight like 5 million times (or five times) in one semester, or you’ll stay friendly acquaintances for the whole year.  For the record, all my roommates rocked and I couldn’t have asked for better ones.

What I learned number 76: Some floors of the 8 story library are silent floors, and they probably don’t think it’s cool when you push a two year old through the isles and he yells no at the top of his lungs….just once.

What I learned number 10: Some… but not all sororitys are, (or ok, fine.  I don’t know for sure if they are…seem) shallow. You can tell this by taking note of when they approach you in the first couple weeks of school.  For example, you can walk past the same booth ten times in one day without cute clothes or make up on and not even get blinked at, but the next day when you mayyyybe had a little more time to get ready, and put on make up, and dressed better, they circle you like vultures and want you to take all their hot pink flyers and become their sister. Cool, no?

What I learned number 165: Germs…………………….everywhere…….EVERYwhere.
