LC 14

Being in college is definitely a change from what I’m used to in high school. For one thing, it’s easier to fit in with your peers here…Maybe it’s because we never actually separate ourselves into cliques based on our nationalities (like my high school sort of did)…I am very shy and I don’t talk much at first, so it was quite interesting for me to be comfortable here so easily. I am tired from all of the assignments that we have to do, but I don’t regret spending time with the group. They’re funny enough to keep me awake in class. The only exception would probably be Poly Sci, since everyone seems to fall asleep there…Other than that class, my courses are enjoyable so far…Even calculus has its points, surprisingly. I like math and games, but I’m afraid of insects, especially spiders, and of failing (haha, nerd!) Despite that, time management is the most challenging thing for me to do right now. I am used to having weekends as my free time playing games or whatever. Now I actually do some work in order to keep track with my courses; business law is the worst for me though…Sigh…

Post Monologue: I actually hated doing the monologue. I like my classmates and all, but speaking in front of a class is not my forte. As I said before, I’m very shy in front of my friends and I’m not as open at first impression. I prefer to sit down and talk instead. The experience was still new to me, even though I had to present projects numerous times in the past. I also had to present speeches during my sophmore year, but it didn’t help calm me down. I learn that I want to be friends with everyone, to help them out in anyway I can, in my own way. Just not in presentations. As my peers read their monologues, I realized that I’m not alone. Like me, most of them are nervous or just didn’t want to describe themselves. They are more nervous than  my overachieving high school friends, usually peers…And what was the next question? Haha…I’m still shaken from my presentation…

What are you staring at? Lol~ I like birds, and I sometimes give that expression (or the clueless one) to people too…

I really like the people that i’m meeting in college because everyone is a lot more mature then in high school. I love the people in my block, everyone is just too nice. School is going pretty well for me right now but there is just so much homework. The reading is crazy. i hope i can at least get a C+ in all the classes. Its too easy to fail. I don’t have much timee to do anything anymore. Even though now there’s not classes on fridays, theres work. I only have sundays free but there’s school on monday so not much time. I’m terrifed of the dark, I don’t even sleep in the dark. Before I go to bed every night, I set a timer on my TV and sleep with that on. I don’t want to think about goin ghome at 5:30 after freshman seminar every wednesday in the winter when it gets dark.

Post monologue: I don’t feel any different or see myself as any different after presenting the monologue. I think i am more confident at presenting than I was in high school. I wasn’t nervous while presenting which was good and I am happy about that.

I don’t think I have developed much throughout freshman seminar but I did learn a lot of material that I did not know prior freshman seminar.

This is my baby and her name is Kiwi. I love cats soooooooooooooo much.
