Week 1: New Beginnings

I've officially completed my first week of year two. If the start is any sign, this is not going to be a good year for me.

First, the day before classes started I had a six hour training session to go through with Outstanding Scholars. It was nice because I got to spend some time with my boyfriend and my best friend and we were given free food. We also got to listen to some of the older Outstanding Scholars and their experience in the program. It was really encouraging and made me excited to start. BUT they want us to choose our own professors and possibly contact them on our own though I'm not really sure because they were really unclear on that point. So I'm also really nervous about this.

The next day, the first day of classes, my dad was driving me into school and...well, I threw up. Luckily I managed to get my window down in time, but...yeah, it was not fun. I do not know why I threw up. I do not want to think about why I threw up. All I know is it happened and was not a good sign.

Classes themselves are going to kill me. I'm having a difficult time understanding one of my professors due to the way he pronounces words, my grammar sucks, linguistics is just plain hard and in my woman studies course I'm pretty sure they're talking a different language...I just don't get it. Plus I already have multiple things do every single week!

Well, it was nice having the scholarships while they lasted...
