Phew...I'm so glad the week is over! Throughout last week, I could only barely catch my breath. It was always from one activity or assignment to another. But I guess it's a learning process; it means I'll just have to focus more on my priorities.
Classes aren't going that bad for me. I'm finally beginning to understand the methods of instruction of my professors, which I think is very important. In my physics class, for example, it's not very helpful to take so many notes because my professor uses his touch-screen laptop to teach and solve problems. And at the end of each lecture, he posts the notes on katie. So, it's just better to focus on trying to understand the topic in class.
I took my first Calculus test at 8:30 am on Monday. I was only semi-conscious because I stayed up until 3:00 am that morning doing assignments (it's something you should never do; I don't even know how I got myself in such a situation). Nevertheless, my performance was pretty good; though, I made some silly mistakes. Next week, I have a couple of tests and my first Paideia paper due (sounds a bit scary).
I'm glad I'm making new friends. It's always good to know that you have people with which you can hang out and have fun. It was especially comforting last week when I would return to my room stressed out and find lots of things to laugh about with my roommate - Eli - and Jacob. I've also been able to identify some upperclassmen like Sylvia (from Uganda) who seem to have solutions to every problem (amazing isn't it?).
I'm really looking forward to my soccer game at 3:45 pm tomorrow. Although I couldn't play last week, I hope to put up my best performance tomorrow. I'm also going to be on the Ylvisaker Hall Council. We'll have our first meeting tomorrow and I think it's going to be interesting.
I guess that's it for now. If you have any comments concerning my blog or anything at all, please feel free to post them on my blog.
Take care,
Luwa.
