Here We Go Again

Ok so here I am again writing yet another blog post.  I guess the worst part about this one is that I am writing it 15 minutes before it is due at 11:45PM on Sunday night.  It really looks like I have learned quite a bit about procrastination.  Anyways on the other hand we only have 8 actual days of class left.  After that it's exams and then our glorious one month break which I have been look forward to for so long.  I am quite enjoying college life so far but the sad part about this semester is that well I don't believe it was the biggest shocker of the way college life could be like for me.  I only had intro classes, and basically just lower level easier classes.  Next semester I'll be getting into calculus, chemistry, and physics and well I know that I am going to get a real wake up call to what the college world is like.  My dad is going to Iraq January 7 so the worst part is that I will be busy trucking my siblings from place to place so they have rides because my dad will be away and my mom will most likely be working late.  The absolute best thing about this semester is that I have established a good starting out GPA for the rest of my college life.  I am really excited to see that this GPA is higher than what my high school one was, and it gives me a sense of acomplishment.  It also makes me feel like I am doing well and hopefully I can keep up the perseverance and hard work throughout the rest of my college years.  I need to get away from this staying up late though especially when I have 8:00 classes like every day.  But thats why I can't wait for next semester because I will only have 8AM classes on tuesdays and thursdays.  Life is good right now and I am definitely enjoying the college experience.  I love how the teachers give us one on one time and how the classes are small.  I think this is really going to help me become a better college student that I would be if I would have started out somewhere like UT austin, or even Texas A&M.  I will say that I have no regrets from this semester as it slowly draws to a close.  I am also not looking forward to all the brutal studying I will be putting in for my exams which are less than a month away now.  With all this being said I am looking forward to finishing the last few weeks of this semester with a bang. Go bulldogs!

Last blog I believe?

Wow already the last blog? It went pretty fast, Iw ould say.  If you think about it, the blog was like the rest of the college semester, it went by a lot faster than I expected. I assumed it would drag on day after day waiting for that last minute of class, so I could just be done with the day.  I was completely wrong.  Here I am sitting here writing my final blog for my FREX class in the final month of the first semester of college.  After that first week things really started to get moving and it seemed like just yesterday I was dreading going to orientation and now already the first semester is done.  I guess that is also what I will be saying when I graduate here in 2014 and I move on to Texas A&M.  I will probably be saying "wow it seemed like just yesterday I was dreading orientation and now here we are graduating".   I will also use phrases like wow ain't it funny how time just passes you by when you don't think about it.  I will say that there are positive things I can take away from this first semester here at TLU.  I got a taste of college life and I know that I really have to take things seriously.  Studying all the time should not be a phrase taken lightly as I did in the past.  I now know it takes many hours of study and at best hopefully they are spread out overtime instead of just crammed in the night before.  Because I have the urge to do well in college I am really trying to absorb the information I am learning to the best of my ability and I already feel like I have learned more than in the four years that I attended high school.  I know that college really is a place of higher education and not just another stepping stone in my life of school.  It's far more difficult and complex than I thought it would be in the beginning and all I can say is that I'm trully glad it is for if it wasn't well then I wouldn't have the urge to actually try and make good grades.  I would just try and pass by just like I did in high school when I quickly forgot how to actually care about school after my freshmen year.  Hopefully I do not get that same symptom here in college for I really and trully want to succeed.  I know it'll make my parents happy and it will be a great accomplishment for me in general.  I really want to get the rest of my life to start off with a bang and I think that all depends on how I do now and in my future years as a student of higher education. 

LAST BLOG MAYBE?

Ok this is going to be a long week! I have two papers to right in our class, one being the Krost paper and the other being the study abroad so I can get it in early for extra credit.  I am not sure but I could have an engineering test this week which would really suck.  Another thing I am stressing about is that fact that I really want an A in my elementary functions class but as of right now it’s not looking like that.  I really need to crack down and study more so I can get a high A on the final exam which hopefully will bring my grade up.  In the golf world as of now we are in the offseason again.  I don’t believe our fall season was to our coach’s liking so we really need to be putting more practice hours in.  The semester is really flying by which is the exact opposite of what I expected college life to be.  The only bad thing is that everything is moving at such a fast pace that there isn’t much time to just slow down and rest.  Many study hours are involved just so I can make sure I get the grade I want on the exam.  Times have completely changed since high school from when I would just go home and maybe do a little homework and not put any hours in for study.  I would either just go out with friends or family or anything similar to that to pass the time needed to get by to the next day.  Too bad our blogs are almost done as I think this is either the last or the second to last or something like that.  At least advising week is this week so maybe my bundle will be a little less loaded just so we can get our classes for next semester out of the way.  I can’t wait to live on campus sophomore year I am so ready.  My commute gets worse and worse every day.  Hooray for daylight savings or whatever we’re in I really love the extra sleep! It’s going to feel like I’m sleeping in for my 9 o’clock Friday class every day now.  HOORAY!! The best news is that even when I live on campus next year I will still be close to family so everything will be good.  These college years are going to be good.
