Week 1 Frustrations...

The first week of the new semester came with the depressing fact that my fun and relaxing winter break was over and that I had to come back to my rigorous daily schedule here at Tech. The worst part about all this was that I had to leave my friends from high school again, and this time it was even harder since we got used to seeing each other almost every day. Leaving home also had its privileges, since I got to come back and meet all my friends here at Tech who I had not seen for about a month. I also would have the freedom that I had gained here at V Tech.

My week started out with a lot of fun stuff with me finally getting to play basketball and run after about a month and a half since it was way too cold and too much snow on the ground to play or run. After this fun day, things just went downhill from there. Classes started bright and early for me on Tuesday and this was hard to do since I was used to waking up at about 12 pm not 7 am.

This was just the beginning of a long week since I had 8 am classes the next two days and there was no way I was getting enough sleep since it is really hard to go to bed early enough at college since there is always something going on at all times. Along with the early classes, there are also the tough classes that we are required to take in order to complete our engineering education.

This semester has just begun but it feels like I have been here forever. The only thing that is going to motivate me enough is the thought that this is all going to pay off once I graduate and have a good job. To insure that this happens I am going to have to work really hard, do a lot of work and also have to go to class bright and early for the next three and a half months.
