My First Week of College

Wow, whatta week. It was stressful, delightful, and eduational all in one.

Driving myself to school everyday is a new concept for me, so to be sure I'm always timing things perfectly, I set alarms on my phone to go off 20 minutes before every class. It's actually saved my ass already. On Thursday, I mixed up the time my History class beging with the time my English class begins; if that alarm wouldn't have gone off, I would have missed the entire class. Thank goodness for technology.

I love having something to do during the day. I'm not going to lie, it's already challenging and I am already overwhelmed. To put it simply, there are just too many papers to write. For each class, there is a series of papers that I need to write in seemingly record time. Not to mention all of the different citation styles we've been forced to use. My English teached explained why there are seperate styles and who will assign what to us just last Friday, but c'mon... Do I really need to learn this "Chichago Style" for citation? Can't everyone just be happy using MLA?

I do miss Kelly wuite a bit. I fear that I will soon have trouble writing a letter to him everyday due to the workload this semester will bring, but I've figured out how to manage. I will write first thing in the morning and take the notebook I write in with me on my daily adventures and write whenever there is a spare moment; this gives me a better opportuninty to get all of the details of the day and then I don't get overwhelmed by a mass amount of writing at night. If worse comes to worst, I can write a breif summary everyday (as opposed to my 6 page explainations) and send it weekly. That's the absolute bare minimum, however.

My classes are awesome. My teachers are awesome. I just wish Kel was here with me.

I see him in 20 days(:
