No Homework Overload... Yet!

So far, I am having mixed feelings about the college experience. It seems that the only real negative aspect of it is the heat. Every morning when I get up and begin getting ready my mind immediately focuses on the heat. How I should do my hair? What I should wear? What shoes? All these thoughts are normal true, but when it’s 110 degrees outside you start focusing more on keeping cool rather than looking “cool”.

Because of my paranoia of being late (especially in French) I leave my house an hour and fifteen minutes before class. This ensures me that I will not be late and that I don’t have to rush in the heat, which could cause me to become overheated even faster. As of now, the homework load hasn’t felt excessive, but it is only the second week. Everyday I go home and check the Internet for any comments or assignments my teachers have left online. One huge difference from high school to college is being responsible for a lot of your own course work. If you don’t look on this thing called Blackboard you could really become lost in class. Reading class materials is the only real homework I have had. With the extra time in the week when I am not working at the hair salon, I make sure I have finished all my homework and then focus on the class I have the next day and review some. My personal goal for college is not only to graduate which I know I will, but also to do it with all A’s and B’s.

You might be wondering why I said I would really hate to be late in French, well that’s because I think French is a little difficult. Sadly, I have to reach the 202 levels of French for my degree. Although I took three years of French in the past I still don’t feel confident when be called on in class, so I would definitely not want to be responsible to say “sorry, I’m late.” Because I am always at least twenty minutes early it is a lot of fun to kill the time just watching people pass through the halls. It is true what they say about just getting up and putting some clothes on and saving the makeup for the weekend. Yes, not everyone does this, but once again I think guys have it easier than girls in dealing with fighting the heart while staying “hot”. Well, I am off to history. Come back to tomorrow so I can tell you more about life at Arizona State.
