Hello my name is Rachel Mander and I have been going to Robert Morris College in Springfield, IL for the past year. I started out at RMC by taking running start classes during my senior year of high school and I still haven’t left yet! I enjoy watching movies and actually doing homework. Yea I know its lame but I love to learn. I am also the number 1 fan of the ST. Louis cardinals. I will be going to lots of games so you will here all about them. In my spare time I am usually either doing homework or working. I work 2 jobs one at Robert Morris and one at a Hardware store. Which is very hard! Well I hope everyone enjoys reading my blogs. Go eagles!

back to the real world

Well i am back from London and I must say i had the time of my life! I strongly recommend the study abroad program at RMC because it is the best! I loved that i had a chance to see things that not everyone gets to see in a lifetime. well now that i am back i guess it is time to get back to the real world. back to work in school. i had a nice "vacation". I also had a chance to meet a lot of nice people. I am going to watch the St. Louis Cardinal game on Sunday. They play the giants and i am going to be really upset if Barry Bonds plays. He is a cheater and does not deserve they things he has gotten. But, he probably wont play because he doesn't normally play on Sundays so i am keeping my fingers crossed. Next on Real Life...

Well school has just gotten 10 times worse! I just started the fall quarter and all ready I am sick of it! My classes are all very hard and I with work I am cannot figure out when I am going to have the time for a second job. what’s bad is I need a second job just to make ends meet...so it comes to which is more important school or living...with gas prices and my car payment and school payment it has just gotten too hard and I am trying to do it all and it is turning into one big mess. I have been trying to cut corners ever way I know possible...but at work I am not getting as many hours due to lack of people to call and it is really hurting me...I know though that I have to get a degree or I will be a failure. I think what makes me more upset is that just to survive I have to have 2 jobs but someone else can live comfortably off of welfare and sit on their butts while I pay for their kids crap. Something that bothers me about welfare is the link card system...here ya go a card where you can withdrawal money! Take some go buy you beer, or drugs. But before I end I must say I have seen people who are trying to make it and who use link in the correct way. |
hum class
I really love going to Robert Morris. however, sometimes i wish i could pick my hum classes from a big list. this quarter i am taking two classes that have nothing to do with business and are starting to bore me to tears. one teacher told me that her hum classes are different because she tries to make the things she is talking about relate to the students in the class fields of study. i didn't get lucky...i didn't get her as my teacher this quarter. so right now i am going whatever i can to stay focus in my classes. this week a girl that i know who is about to start college in a few weeks asked me, what advice i had for her to make sure college went well for her. i told her she had to be mature enough for college. go to class, listen, and do the work. as long as she does all those things she will be fine.
