Freshman Year: Stick a Fork in it It's Done

I am finally done. I emailed my last paper to my professor tonight. Four finals in one day was extremely exhausting. That is why I took a maximum of three classes per day next semester. I am taking World Civilization II, Public Speaking, Statistics, Microeconomics and US History II. Although, four finals was exhausting I must have done decent because I have earned two A's so far. Despite doing well I believe i learned even more important things this semester. College is collaborative, a person can't do it alone. College is hard work no matter where you go. Most importantly, I've learned that everyone "figures out how to manage." Everyone gets stressed but everyone survives. Some people realize college is not for them, others change their major and others have the time of their lives. No matter what everyone has adventures. I certainly had my share. This should not surprising because everyday is an adventure!

Finishing Touches

I can't believe finals are here. As of eight p.m. Tuesday I will finished with finals. I am sure everyone can guess what I have be doing for the past week. Studying, studying and studying some more. I have found that I have needed to work with others in order to have motivation. My friend and I sat together and wrote our ten page papers and I met a classmate in the library to study for my political science exam. This is necessary because most of my other friends are home from college and I feel like I am the only one that still has to do work. I am only really concerned with two exams: Spanish and Economics. They are my only cumlative exams. Also they are my two most difficult courses. My economics teacher did not tell us what chapters were on the exam until there was five minutes left in the class before the exam. Talk about a warning, I am just going to study as much as I can and when all else fails I am going to pick "c." The good thing is that no matter what happens, as of Tuesday night it is over. I am just  going to enjoy the adventure as everyday is an adventure!

The End is Near, Of This I'm Certain

One big assignment down, too many to go. The Spanish oral is done, but it did not go well. The good news is I now just have to sit in the class for the week and listen to other people present. The other good news is that my presentation for Macroeconomics is done so I do not have to do anything but listen in that class either. However I have no idea what is going to be on the final for that class so I have to ask him on Tuesday. We have only done one chapter since our midterm. Don't worry just because I don't have to do work for those two classes does not mean my last full week will not be super busy. I have to read 150 pages for my political science class, take an exam and write a paper by the 18th. What professor makes you hand a paper in after the semester is over? I guess professors can do whatever they want in college. I also have to write two papers for English by the 11th, one of which is a ten page research paper. In addition to all of the work I have to do I meet with a transfer advisor tomorrow.  This means I have to make decisions on my future and we all know how good I am with that... not. This week is certainly going to be an adventure. That is not surprising though as everyday is an adventure!
