Today was the first day of classes. I had Intro to Poetry and College Writing Seminar today. Poetry was fun. I can tell I will probably like it a lot. The teacher, Malcuit, is very young. He’s an adorable young nerdy professor. At first I thought he was one of the students when he entered the classroom. He seems like a very nice guy and like he really enjoys his subject.
However, the college writing seminar isn’t as fun. The teacher is a bit odd. She’s nice but she’s just different. Also, I don’t relish the idea of learning how to write college level papers. I know it’s very important and very useful, but it’s bound to be exceedingly dull. The teacher is also fond of working in groups. I don’t like having other people critique my papers right to my face. I just hate it. Good thing the class is very short or I might just go crazy.
The first few days here have been all right. It’s fun, but it’s also a challenge. I’m really looking forward to going home this weekend. I miss my family and my boyfriend Shane very much. I keep thinking of this whole college thing as something to be overcome and not something to be enjoyed. I shouldn’t think that way, but that’s how my mind is wired. I’m trying my hardest to keep an open mind and enjoy my time here, but I don’t know. I just want to get through it.

Heh, well you’re not alone in that part of thinking college is something to be overcome. For me, that’s normal. College is simply something that will be a + on my job resume and perhaps I even learn something (which I, no doubt, will.)
As for the enjoyment, I’d seek that somewhere else, be it friends, activities, or anything besides the college matter. I personally was always let down whenever someone said “learning will be fun”. Heh
And also try not to force yourself to keep an open mind because that’ll hurt even more than just not doing anything. This feeling should come naturally. But eh, those are my 2 cents.
