    College Update

    Well, I've been going to college for over 3 weeks now which seems pretty strange.

    I like it enough. It's better then high school. I have way more freedom to do what I want and study what I want. I'm not babied, which I LOVE. I'm not told what to do, when to breathe..love the less strict rules. The workload isn't unexpected. I knew it was gonna be rough, but I am doing pretty well for myself. I got an 86 on a math quiz, which is something I am proud of 'cause I SUCK at math and as a BIO major that's gonna be a big hurdle for me. I also got an A on a history quiz. I am ahead of all my class-mates in work, as I have a sister to help me organize myself. She's been beyond helpful and I cannot thank her enough.

    I knew what this was going to be like, Junior Year of high school, where I had to work my tail-end off and I broke down at least once a month, literally asked my mom if I could drop out...well you get it. Stuff I am embarrassed about now. The other night I was up till 2:30 AM reading and writing stuff for my World Civ class and I began wondering if it really was worth it. 36 pages of reading later..I realized I know people who I DON'T want to end up like in my life, I realized my goals are realistic but only with that degree. I just need to take it day by day.

    As for making new friends, I can't really say that's happened yet. I talk to people I don't know that well but I wouldn't say we're friends. I know I need to get more involved, which is alot more difficult because I'm in Community College. But I do plan on doing it...right now I want to work on my grades first.

    You're doing well, and don't worry too much, friendship will come with time. Concentrating on your grades and learning is more important right now!
