Tomorrow marks the END of my first semester here. I feel like I should be wandering around in sandals and short sleeves, not knowing anyone, or what to do with myself... Man, I'm glad that part is over. I'm glad that I belong here now.
I'm also glad that I'm going to be on break soon though. I feel like this: It's easier to be myself back in St. Louis, because people know what I'm like already. I guess some do here too, but not to the same extent. I feel like everything I do here is forming an opinion in the minds of other as to what kind of person that I am. It's true; that is what is happening. In one way, i like that, and it's really exiting. But at the same time, it will be nice to not have to worry about that for a while.
Also, I'm a little nervous about next semester... I'm already asking myself why on earth I'm taking 18 hours... But I can do it!(I think) Here is my reasoning behind it all:
This semester I took 15 hours (6 Classes), and got by with pretty good grades, and pretty much no organization of...anything. So if I actually work ahead on easy things over break, and be organized and all that poop, then I'm sure I'll be fine... I guess only time will tell.
Speaking of grades, I was surprised yesterday by a ridiculously easy OT final, which brought my grade up to barely an A. But it's still an A, and Dr. Miller in my new favorite person in the world.
That is all.
Look Beth! I'm commenting on your blog! I totally know what you mean about being better known at home, but liking both being away and coming back. It's so great to be around family/old friends because they know you so well in context of your whole life and that's valuable. But also it can be hard to break away from who they think you are as a result of your growing up in close proximity to them. Whereas I always felt that college friends were valuable in the sense that they see you with fresh eyes, and no past experience and somehow that makes it easier to share deep thoughts and feelings with them because they're not going to be weirded out because you're not the person they think you are....because you're new and all. Don't know if that made any sense whatsoever. It made sense in my head though. And I'm so glad you're enjoying college. Glad you come back too though:)
