1 comments First day of a new semester at college, over and done with.

It went pretty well, and I can breathe easier now, though there's still a lot of stuff I need to do. I guess I'll be more relaxed once I have all my books and everything, but of course then I have to start doing work. I'm kind of stressed out about how much books are. But hopefully I can pay that back soon.

My classes seem okay, if a little boring. I've been through it all before, so that's kind of lame. But it's my fault for not passing it the first time. My algebra teacher started us off with functions and doman and range. That topic has been done to death for me and it was a really boring lesson. I didn't do that well in Algebra 2 in high school, though, so hopefully this class isn't just going over stuff I already know. That would be an easy grade. I just really hope I'm not wasting my time and taking a class that no other school cares about.

Chemistry.... man that teacher is slow. He did one of my biggest pet peeves, which is to hand out syllabuses and everything and basically read it word for word. By now we have had 12 years of school, I would think we're capable of reading things on our own. I usually scan the papers that are handed to me, and sometimes read them all if the teacher is being boring, so I just heard it through twice. And it's not like it's really different from any other syllabus I've read.
It's probably for the best that I have a slow chemistry teacher though, because I need all the help I can get to understand that subject. Today we went over another subject that's been done to death: solids, liquids and gases. Like we didn't learn THAT in third grade. I guess I shouldn't be complaining, because I could really use a good first test grade. I could use good grades on all my tests. And I plan to get them!

My online classes are the only thing really new. I don't know what to expect from Sociology. Hopefully it'll be interesting. I have so much time to devote to these classes, so I really hope I stay ahead and on top of things. I shouldnt just hope- I need to make it happen.

I've been thinking a lot about the future and I wonder if it's a good idea or not. Part of me thinks I should just focus on getting through this year. It would be the less stressful option. But I always feel like I need to keep looking ahead and planning for things. There are just so many possibilities, it makes my head spin. I think I'll just kind of ignore it for this semester. There's nothing I can really do yet, anyway. Next semester I'll start applying for scholarships and finding out my standing with my dad and all that. And maybe I can make a plan to go to Oklahoma.... Never thought I'd be saying that.
