This week has been pretty relaxed, compared to other weeks. I still have my hectic schedule, but I have grown pretty accustomed to it over the past two months.
One major event that happened this week, was getting my first college essay returned to me. Before our Professor handed them back she mentioned that a few of us received sixty percents because we did not internally site sources correctly. Heart-racing, I had my essay in hand. To my excitement, I was able to earn an eighty-five percent on my first essay of the year. I have never been a super great writer, and I consistently got Bs on my essays in high school. As you may guess, that surprised me tremendously when I got a B on a college essay. I would think that college writing would be harder, and I think in some ways it is. The length of the essay was somewhat difficult for me to manage. Granted, I did expect to get assigned an awful ten page paper like the first week in school. Luckily, that was not the case. I guess you could say writing in college is still pretty difficult, just not as awful as I anticipated.
Other than that, the only other event that took place this week was my second freshman module. We are required to take four modules over the course of our time at TLU, and the freshman module is mandantory for graduation requirements. This week in our module we went over our CEP plans, which are designed as a template for our four year schedule. It was a struggle having to pick all my own classes and being responsible for deciding what I am going to take every semester I am here. Working on these plans just reiterate our freedom of choices we have in college, and the ability to do what we want. We're now adults, who have to decide on our own.
It will be hard to register for classes on my own. As freshman, our first semester was pretty much put together by our advisors, so we didn't have to do that on our own. It will be interesting to see how I manage that on my own.
