Lots of studying, a little homesick
October 19, 2005
Well I had two tests on Monday, the first time so far having two tests on the same day, and it was hard! It was hard to study for both of them and try and get everything memorized, but one of the subjects I know better than the other so I studied the one I didn't know a little more, and hopefully I will do okay! And then I already have another test next week! So I don't get much of a break from studying, and then the week after that I have another test as well! That's college for you I guess! But they have a lot of support here for you which is great because Chemistry is getting hard now and I'm thinking about getting a tutor because they are free and you can meet with them one on one to talk about anything you are having problems with, so that will be good.
This weekend is family weekend. The school has a bunch of planned activities for families to do together which is a nice thing for the families to have, especially if they live close by. The parents are even allowed to attend their daughter's classes if they want so that is cool too! But I live pretty far away so my family isn't going to be coming in, which I'm kind of sad about but it's okay because I'm going to be able to go visit my grandparents again for part of the weekend which is another part of my family! So that will be nice, some relaxing and home cooking again! I will have to study while I'm there too, but it will still be a little break.
I'm starting to get the hang of the "T" now, meaning the subway, it is really easy if you have a map of where it goes in front of you, so I just carry one around and I always know where I'm going! But I feel like a tourist or something sometimes, like looking at my map! But it's ok, not everyone that lives in Boston knows the system!
And this week I have been feeling a little homesick, I think just because it has been a month and a half almost already and I'm starting to miss my family, and Minneapolis/Minnesota! But it's only about a month until Thanksgiving, so I'm really excited about that! But it is weird that I only have about 2 months more of Biology because that is just a one semester class! And it is going to be weird to be done with it, but then I'm going to take Anatomy and Physiology and then in another year I'll have to take Microbiology probably, so I'm not completely done!
Well I must be off to do some chemistry homework and then some girls and I are going to get together and watch "America's Next Top Model"!! Until next time...Hannah :)
