my first semester of college has truly been "unforgetable." on one hand, aside form the school work, moving to a state about 11 hours driving distance was quite a challenge... one you will never understand unless you experience it. lets see, in my first say 3 weeks of school, i found cochroaches in my dormroom, got my laudnry stollen, found myself completely lost at midnite on a friday night, and the disasters go on. and yes michelle, what doesnt kill you will make you stronger! or so we all hope. in terms of school, ive missed a lot of classes from being sick and other personal reasons. now, as we only have about 2 weeks of class left, its crunch time. all the work ive been procrastinating on, have piled up into a huge mountain of work. very overwhelming and stressful and all i want to do if put it off - but it CANT! now i know what i need to do in terms of earning good grades for next semester. so yes, i might not have been as good of a student as normal, but its a learning experience. now i cant use what ive learned (u must go to class and NOT slack off) and make next semester that much LESS strenuous!
