Current Musical Selection: Garth Brooks – Standing Outside the Fire Tonight is one of those nights where I have multiple moments of contemplation about various events in my life. For the first time in nearly 4 months it is NOT about academic related things. I am focused primarily on the organization in my life. I […]
When I was a high school student I observed the confusion and difficulty that many college students had, I never really understood why they had problems with things that seemed so logical to me. I am still not understanding many of their issues, but I am now developing some of my own. As I am […]
This evening I completed my first week of classes at UNCC. I survived! Emotionally I am adapting a lot better than I thought I would to the situation of being at UNCC every day. I am getting myself settled very gradually. I love the campus now that I know how to get around it. For […]
Today I had the same schedule as Monday, but I was a lot more comfortable. Shortly after going to my first class I noticed that I was a little too comfortable, I had made a fairly bad mistake when putting things into my bags last night. My English notebook, containing my assignment that was due, […]
Monday was my first day of class. It was a bit much for me to experience, but it went better than I expected. The drive to the campus was filled with nervous thoughts, but went smoothly. Finding parking wasn’t as much of a nightmare as I imagined it to be, but it wasn’t the easiest […]
It is about 2:30AM here, I really should be in bed and sleeping to prepare for my day tomorrow, but somehow I don’t feel that I can. There are less than 12 hours remaining until I start at UNCC. I spent my day today being very relaxed. I have packed my bookbag for tomorrow and […]
Today, as planned I ventured out to the University of North Carolina at Charlotte to explore the campus, become familar with the campus and be ready for Monday. I had a slight misnavigation today as I disobeyed my natural sense of direction (which failed in the past). I went up and around Housing North from […]
In my past few blog entries I have mentioned my changing life, how things will no longer be the same for me. I have been generally very selfish in my observation of the changes. For me things will be different because of independance, strange schedules and the possibility for a lot more social interaction. For […]
My final pre-university weekend is upon me. Most of the weekend will be spent doing normal things I do, working on the GITI project, talking to friends, etc. I will also be finalizing getting my bags, books and other supplies ready for Monday. I will also probably be doing some last minute purchasing for Monday. […]
Mentally I am having a strange week. Started out Monday doing great, Tuesday was pretty good other than a slight quirk which resulted from visiting UNCC. Today (Wednesday) I am deep in emotion and stress and fear as a result of the thought of the pending adventure to take place on Monday. Monday ends my […]
