University of New England: Jessica Oliveira

It is now crunch time, here at UNE. Its just my cool little word of what most people know as hell week. Since 3 out of my 5 classes decide not to have a final (So great!! :D ) they will either assign a big project or a big paper due instead of a final and of course they will all be due together all in one week. But your usually not the only one going through this. EVERYONE is stressed and tired. You can see it throughout the campus! The halls are a LITTLE bit quieter and people are working more. It's a little bit better now but last week was crazy with lots of assignments due and tests to take. I finished my crazy week off on Thursday after my big chem exam, which has been a lot better than last semester! Thursday night a group of us got together and played some baseball for awhile on the softball field. It was a good time to hang out and relax and forget about school for awhile.
Today I had my last chem, precal, and english composition class. Tomorrow is the last day of classes and my last day of environmental issues!! (YES!!!) And then finals start on Thursday. My last day of freshmen year will be next Monday after my precal final at 10:45!! :D Its kinda crazy when you think about how fast this year has gone... HOLY COW!! You think high school went by fast, just wait till college.. It seems that each year is just going faster and faster. SO ENJOY IT!!!!!!!!!!!! Once you get to college, get involved, join stuff, say hi to strangers, make friends, and BE HAPPY!!!!!!!!!! :D
Good luck with finals and enjoy your last few weeks of high school and enjoy your summer!! ;-)

Sorry its been forever since Ive written anything. The past few weeks have been nonstop with homework, papers, and projects and one thing after another. Tuesdays and Thursdays are usually my free days where I only have one class at 2:30 (freakin sweet!!!) Recently, Kennebunk High School asked me if Id like to volunteer at a Learning Center they had just started. Of course I'll do it.. Id get to help kids out who dont get their homework or is stuck on some concept. Id be a tutor!! wicked awesome.. at least thats what I thought. So I spent a couple of my free Tuesdays/Thursdays at Kennebunk High School thinking id tutor but instead my job was to keep an eye on the room. If anyone showed up, make sure they sign in and dont bring in a friend.. that was my job. Thank goodness I brought some homework cause in the 3 hours I was there only 2 students showed up to use the computers. Probably wont be doing this much longer.
Besides volunteering, Ive also been spending some of my free days doing my classroom observations for my education course since Monday, Wednesday and Friday is busy all day.
We're suppose to do 12 observations for the class and I have about 4 left!!! :D
But I have been doing other things than JUST schoolwork... Lots of exciting things has happened over the past three weeks including a hike I went on with the outing club up one of the White Mountains in NH and the Spring Semi-formal. Fun fun. :D

The hike was a hell of a hike!! Walking on snow and then snowshoeing up the mountain!? Holy cow!! Probably wont be doing it ever again, especially in the snow!! But once you get to the top the view was amazing!!! And here are some pictures for you.


Me and my buds, Eric and Mike.. we made it to the top!!!

I just love this photo of me and mike.. its just so badass!! 8-)

And some pictures of the semi-formal which was a great time!!!! :D
Me with Kim, Danielle (my neighbors!) and my friend Maggie who came up to visit me!!

More dancing..

I just love this picture of Kim and Danielle.. hot!

And me and my lovely Anthony!! :D

So theres only 2 whole weeks and 2 days of classes left!!!!! WHOOOAAA!!!
And then all I have is 2 finals (chem and precal :-/) and then IM DONE!! I AM DONE WITH MY FRESHMAN YEAR OF COLLEGE ON MAY 7TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
WHHHOOOOOAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Until next time, Have a nice day!! :-)
