There are quite a few things that annoy me, just like everyone else I'm sure, but there is one thing that beats out all of the rest. When it comes to people being two-faced I just cannot stand it.
This is my biggest pet peeve because I am not a fan of dishonest peoplpe, people who talk behind peoples backs, or people who think they need everyone to like them. Then, in order to make everyone like them they make others sound bad. I think everyone should just be themselves and if someone likes you that's great, if they don't then move on. I do not understand why you would want to be friends with someone who doesn't like you for who you really are. There's a saying by Dr. Seuss that I think is so true, "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."
I've had plenty of friends in the past who have been two-faced to me, or to other good friends of mine. In order to avoid them I just pick out the friends I know I can trust. That doesn't mean I don't befriend people I can't trust or think are two-faced, it just means I don't share with them every little secret. That way we can still be friends, but I don't have to worry about them talking behind my back or secretly making jokes about me or other good friends. Although, if they chose to still make up lies or talk about me, I won't be quite as hurt because obviously we won't be as close as if I had shared everything about myself.

My Weekend
Last weekend was kind of uneventful for me. Thursday night I studied Chemistry for a very long time, then took a break to hang out with a few people from my floor in Gage. While we were hanging out we played jenga and watched some tv, then I actually went to bed at a pretty decent time. Friday I had two classes and was done by 3 o'clock. After class I worked out, and finished reading the Zookeeper's Wife. After reading for what seemed like an eternity, me and two of my best friends went to applebees for half off appetizers. Then my really good friend Jeff called me and said he was coming to visit me on Sunday and that I better have no homework to do. So when we got back I wrote my English summary and went to bed. Saturday morning I woke up pretty early and met my best friend Holly at the reccenter. We worked out for about 2 hours then ate breakfast together. It may not seem like much fun, but anytime I spend with her is a great time! We make eachother laugh everyother minute..it's always unexpected. I love it! Then for a few hours I went to the library to finish up my homework. I knew the usual Sunday "homework day" wasn't going to be possible for me since Jeff was coming to visit. After I finished that up I just hung out with friends for the rest of the night. Then Sunday rolled along and once again I met Holly at the reccenter and we worked out, followed by eating a delicious breakfast at the cafeteria. Jeff called me and said he was on his way so I showered and waited around for him. When he got here he took Holly and I shopping, then we went out to eat a Buffalo Wild Wings. Then we just hung out and had a great time like the old days of high school. It was really good to see him! Now we'll see what next weekend brings.

Expectations
This semester I expect to be a tough one, but I'm going to to do my best to do as well as possoble. My major is Biochemistry to some of my classes are pretty hard. Chemistry 202 and Biology 105 are really going to be a challenge, but it's classes like my English class that give me a break from all the mind killing chem problems.
From my English course I expect to broaden my writing skills. I hope to make my papers flow better and have better ideas and thoughts put into them. I hope this class is able to give me a break from all the other boring textbook classes, and allow me to use other areas of my brain. I really like reading books, so reading The Zookeeper's Wife for a class has been nice so far.
From my English instructor I only expect good teaching. I think that if you have a good teacher who explains things thoroughly and is passionate about what he or she is talking about, that you can only do well in the class if you try. Oh, I guess I expect to have homework graded at a reasonable time.
For myself my expectations are high. I need to do well in this course, along with all my other ones, to maintain a high gpa. That means doing all my homework and readings on time and doing them well. I expect to study alot before tests come around so I am very prepared for them, and not cramming the night before. I don't just want to do OK in college, I want to succeed and do great. Afterall, it's only our future we are talking about.

About Me
My name is Caitlin Seichter and I'm from Blaine, MN. Along with my two parents I have an older brother, Jeremy, and a golden retriever named Lillly. Even though I lived in Blaine, I went to a small private high school called West Lutheran in Plymouth, MN. It was so small that my graduating class only had about 60 people in it. The whole school had around 200 people.
Ever since I was little I have loved playing sports, mainly soccer and basketball. I played each one all four years during high school, and most of my best memories come from one of the two teams. During summer I play traveling soccer and I love every minute of it. The team I play for is crazy and fun, you never know what to expect from them.
During high school I had a few different jobs to make some spending money. My first job was at Quiznos Subs. Even though it didn't pay very well and I worked with some crazy people, it was still a decent job. I got an unlimited amount of free sandwiches and the job itself wasn't too hard. After i got sick of smelling like sandwiches I worked at Best Buy. This was also a nice job, the employee discount was great! I was only hired as seasonal here to after the Christmas rush was ended I needed to find a new job. So I started working as a Host at Chilis. Chilis is by far my favorite job out of the three, and I still work there today. I love interacting with all the different people, and its the easiest job that has payed the best, so far. Plus when it's not busy I get to sit and watch sports in the bar!
