Wow, where do I start? Well, my first day of classes was last Wednesday on the 5th and yes, I was a tad-bit nervous just because I didn’t really know what to expect (or how to act) or even what exactly was expected from me on the “college level.” I was told that professors were a whole lot different than teachers, even to the point of being trained differently while studying to become one. That fact alone raised a red flag for me because I’ve always had really great relationships with my teachers, even way back in elementary school. I loved them. And so the thought of not having that same conection with my professors worried and slightly dissappointed me. For me, one of the greatest things about school, outside of friends and social activities, was the wonderful times I had while spending time with my teachers after school and I’m not sure if I’m ready for that to change or just how to adjust to that.
Anyways, Everything went really well. I really like my psychology class and I think I’m going to throughly enjoy my MCC class. I’m interested to see how my Women’s Studies class goes since I’m pretty much against everything we discuss or read. But hey, it should be fun. Oh and my shakespeare class, I can’t really tell yet. I do think it’s going to be a fairly easy class though. BUT WAIT. HOLD ON. I would just like to personally say that classes are a very small fraction of college. I spend about three hours in all a day in classes and then the rest of the time doing A WHOLE LOT of homework and studying. College definitely moves at a faster pace and you have a lot more to do it a short time span. Therefore, Time Management is KEY.
But there is definitely more to college than classes and work (although that is most important. Remember that). But there is also time to have fun, go out, and just get involved. Last weekend, my roommates, other friends, and I all went out to Harvard square. It’s really nice, There were a lot of stores to shop at, places to eat, and college kids to meet. It was a fun night .And on Friday, Simmons held a club and organization fair where you could sign up for different things. I signed up for the Christian Fellowship Group and the Black Student Organization. Today, we had our first Bible study which was really good.
Last but not least, my roommates are great. I love them so much. We get along very well. We haven’t had any issues. We pretty much study at the same time, go to bed around the same time, and are considerate in the mornings when people are still asleep. Two things that are key if you want to get along with your roommate(s) is Communication and Consideration. On the other hand, there is this quad directly above us and I have no idea what they do up there but they make a lot of noise to the point where it sounds like they are going to fall through the ceiling. So, last night, Kate, one of my roommates climbed onto the top bunk with her lacrosse stick and started banging on the ceiling. It was a great moment,
Well, I think that’s it for now. I got my camera so pictures will be coming VERY SOON. Bye!!!
