Introductory Blog: Brenda Tran

Jelloooo fellow classmates :)

Herrooo :)

My name is Brenda Tran and I am currently a 3rd year biochem major. I'm teetering on whether I want to start all over and switch to computer science because after being mentally mind $%#*&! by O chem, I refused to take Analytical chem.

Like everyone else I am forced to take this class because I passed the WPA but not with flying colors but it's okay #teamIGOTTA8ONTHEWPA for the win, WE GOT THIS GUYS. People that blog on the same gmail account together, get good grades together!  Now I say "forced" because I honestly HATE writing essays. For some people it's second nature but for me I will literally take hours on 1 sentence. An hour to jot down the first 4 words, another hour to revise those 4 words, another hour to realize what I spent 2 hours writing and revising was idiotic and deleting it all,  than settling for whatever comes to mind next.  I have the most severe case of writers block out there. But after hearing that we will be branching out into other genres of writing I feel at ease, finally some change in our writing!!!

Lucky butts :D

Aside from school I would like to share some things about myself, to give you all (well whoever decides to read this) a feel for who Btran is (LOL just kidding). I am the middle child, I have an older sister and younger half brother. I have a beautiful baby named lucky, he's super smart but is stingy with his food. My parents are divorced and my dad remarried. I have a boyfriend as well, he's cool.

Well I am very boring. If I didn't go to school I'd probably die from boredom. I'm like a super grandma for my age.  I've grown to hate alcohol, staying out later than 11pm and anything else college people do now a days. Im weird, I don't know how or why but something about hangovers and walking in the subzero weather early in the morning just isn't fun. One thing I know for sure about me is that I prefer change. I lose interest in things quick so new is good! Regardless if I'm at school, work, or at home I can't do the same thing day in and day out.  Like at school, since you can't change classes throughout the semester :(, I change seats every now and then. Everyone basically designates their own assigned spot on the first day of school but I sometimes sit in other seats to change it up for myself. Regardless if i get a weird look from the person that usually sits in the seat I just sat in. At work I can't really change anything because I work at the superior court and everything has it's own specific procedure, so I find different ways to hide and kill time. Don't get me wrong I finish all my work, I just hide and kill time during my down time, which happens to be all the time.

Darren (heart eyes emojii)

I love talking and meeting new people but I'm super random and all over the place but if the professor calls me out to speak upon something I will freeze up. I also slur my words like there's no tomorrow because I unknowingly speak fast. So if you here some girl speaking gibberish during class... it's me.


Other then all of that good stuff, this semester is actually a game changer in my life. I've set goals for myself to help me succeed and hopefully help me pick up good habits for the next coming semesters. I'm trying to pick up reading as a hobby (so if there are any good recommendations, I'm all ears!). I am also trying to attend every single one of my classes this semester and cure that virus everyone seems to get called PROCRASTINATION! I honestly can't think of any good excuse, that I've convinced myself the pass 2 years, that resulted in me ditching class. As for procrastination, well that's just something that takes a lot of will power.

I am also hoping to network more these upcoming semesters because I feel like thats one of the major keys in life. Even with a degree, I feel like having connections will make it easier to get your "dream" job or reach whatever goals you have set for your future. But thats just me, I'm not trying to convince you that you need to talk to everybody that crosses your path with intentions to like start a business in the future or anything, though that would be nice.

Well this was my first blog ever so if you made it this far i applaud you for listening to me ramble and talk about I don't even know what. I'm skimming what I wrote and it's just a whole lot of things everywhere. I don't feel like blogging will be a hobby I'll ever pick up but 1 down 9 more to go!

Praying this semester will be good to all of us!

Brenda.
