College days

The first time with anything is pretty much terrifying, especially if you don't know what to expect. I started my first day of COLLEGE today. It was pretty exciting, and quite interesting watching all the different types of people come together in one place and talk about themselves. With it being the first day, we really only had to read the syllabus (which we were lamely quizzed on afterwards) and just chatting and getting to know each other and our teacher. The class isn't a majoring kind of course, just a college level English class. I do believe I'm the youngest in that classroom at the moment, and the "noobie" to everything. The teacher asked if there was anyone that hadn't been to college before and if this was their first class with the college to kindly raise their hand (I was the only one...and he then awkwardly thanked me for being there).

  In the syllabus we were handed there were a list of rules, regulations to go by in emergencies, and etc. Everything was put out into words of what the upcoming Summer semester was to hold and how we'd be graded on the things we were to be assigned. My nerves were on edge when we got to the "ice breaker" part and we had to speak up front. I'm not a public speaker what so ever, I can hardly even recite a simple poem or short line in front of a small group (unless said group is a group of friends). I only had to state four facts of the person in front of me, and they were quite easy to remember but my mind froze and I held on to the notebook with a death grip. The words even began to move around a little bit and the writing was so unfamiliar I felt like I was looking at a different language. I wanted to be like the fearless nineteen year old that stood so courageous and tall, speaking with a clear accent and even making witty jokes while he spoke so beautifully. I think I was actually creating a little class room crush on him, but that's besides the point of his awesome presentation of the person next to him...all I knew was that I wanted HIM on my team/ group next time.

  Today has been pretty long, and even though I haven't hardly even started major college yet my brain is already tired. So, I'm going to wrap this up, sorry if it seems unfinished. I shall make another entry hopefully soon! I hope everyone has had a good week so far, and that it gets better as the weekend comes nearer!
