Renovated House

When I finished my freshman year, I came back to house that was literally destroyed. The windows were removed, and there was a lot of construction equipment. All I wanted was to come back to the old house with its bright yellow sidings and cracked red bricks which completed the rest of the house. However, I came back to a house full of chaos with construction workers demolishing everything inside of the house. My mother wanted to demolish the house to the ground, so she could rebuild it the way she wanted it. In the meantime, I had to move to a rented house in West Hempstead, NY, where it had a completely new setting and was somewhat peaceful. One part of West Hempstead was full of poverty, and the other extreme side was full of mansions and sports cars. So there were extreme ranges of status and wealth. The house was nothing compared to my other house because it had many irregularities. First off, the door with the screen was annoying because it made it hard for someone to open the door to enter the house. Next, the basement smelled moldy and wasn't even completed. It still had broken walls, dirty floors, and an incomplete set of stairs. It looked like it came straight out of a scary movie, something like the movie Saw, where the people were tortured to death. The second floor had rooms that were comparable to walk-in closet. Additionally, it was desert hot, and we only had fans to cool the room, which didn't really help at all. So, after this school year in Cortland, I hope to go back to a house that has high ceilings, complete stairs, and bigger rooms. Moreover, I could go visit all of my friends because West Hempstead was about thirty minutes away.

First Week In Cortland

I recently changed my major from Biology to Business Economics. This change was very drastic and was also a long process. Firstly, I sent my form to change a major months ago, and I never got any notifications indicating a change. Instead, I called and one of the secretaries of the Economics department told me that no advisor signed it as yet. The next time I called, which was a couple of days before school started, the secretary told me that they chose a random advisor, and that I would have to meet with him on Monday. Therefore, I would have to miss a day of school, and instead get help from my new advisor to choose my new classes. Now the classes that I had to join promptly were closed, so I had to spend the rest of the day looking for an open seat for all three of the mandatory courses. If I didn't find an open seat, then I would have to convince one of the teachers to open up a space. However, I did get into all of the mandatory classes, which was hard to find. It was basically a miracle that I got into all of my classes. Even though there were so many irritating things to get past, I had to look at the good side in that I got into all of my classes. So far, everything is going as planned, and I went to two of my classes on Tuesday.

All of my friends have dispersed all over the Cortland campus. Some are in Glass, some in Smith, Hayes, Hendricks, etc. So, most of them I haven't seen, and I still looking outside for them. Right now I am trying to get ahead in my schoolwork and do well in school. In my spare time, I would like to play golf more, and possibly join the golf club. Last year when I tried out, I was horrible because it was my first time playing 18 holes, but this summer I have played in various courses. So, I hope the experience I gained will help me get into the club.
