Hi!!

If you don't already know or maybe its been a while since we have chatted. My name is Shirley Arreola-Kern, and I am a GRADUATE of Ellensburg High School! Go Dawgs! Also I am currently studying "abroad" aka out of state at Illinois Institute of Technology! I WAS majoring in Aerospace Engineering and am now loving every minute of Political Science Pre-Law!! One wierd thing I found that I like is Technical Drawing, which is why I am getting a minor in Engineering Graphics! I would love to hear from you just drop a note for me! Have a wonderful Day!
Love and Blessings,
Shirls

Three weeks in....

Wow!! What an amazing time this has been...amazing but crazy. I have had so many things that I want to do, and its relatively easy to do them all. I am joining SHPE, AIAA, and a couple other clubs and organizations. Its so much fun to be involved here at IIT, everyone is being so helpful and open to questions... I have had a lot of those!! One of the best things is all the friends I have found...mainly guys...but thats to be expected at a school with only 33% women. They also are as diverse as the world... South Korea, Mexico, Turkey, Ethiopia just to name a few! And I cant forget the states with Cali, Colorado, Rhode Island, NY, and so many others!! What a big world we live in!

The classes are pretty good! Except for the occasional nod off...calculus...they are way more fun than most of my high school classes!! I love my Intro to the Proffesion (ITP) because we bring cookies if were late, we are going to build rockets soon, and my proffesor is totally rockin!!! The supprising fun class is my American Composers, I am actually learning US history, but with a musical twist! Its almost better than AP History! All the others are a little more of the same with the calc and chem. My computer programming class is getting a little trickier... I can actually write my own program!! go me!!!

However the better part of Mon, Wed, and Fri, are working!! This is so much cooler than other things. I get to lead tours as soon as I get certified, and i get to work on this blog...just kidding about the blog though. I am enjoying an office job even though I have only worked a couple of days...like three including today!!!!
I miss everything back home...but not homesick kind....the fair food, my blue boat, friends, and family. Christmas, and Thanksgiving are coming soon though!! But as the Day Ends here I must stop to pray for another day and stop typing!! Have a wonderful time in all your doings!!
Love and Blessings
