First Week At College Wrap-Up

Week one/I have no idea how many weeks there are in a college degree has come to a close. And let me tell you, it has been an interesting experience. Let's give the play-by-play, day-by-day (that was so clever, right?).

Monday
- I was feeling tremendously nervous. I only had two classes to get to today, but before they even began, I was worried over how rusty and stupid I felt after 3 months of doing not much at all.
- The day began with a stressful car ride in rush hour traffic into the sun. Uggh.
- My first class was my math lab, and it wasn't too bad, aside from not being able to understand the TA half the time.
- My next class was programming fundamentals, which I was insanely worried about because my history with coding has not been a pleasant one. Nevertheless, my worries mostly vanished as I think I have the best professor teaching the course.
- With no homework assigned, I literally had nothing to do all day except eat lunch and spend 2 hours in the student union overlooking some lame games of pool and ping pong.

Tuesday
- Went to my first math lecture, and it turns out I had learned everything in it from my test prep books in high school. Funny.
- Finally managed to make a friend in my intro to engineering and computer science class.
- Discovered the library and did math homework.
- Spent too much money on too much campus food and felt sick for the rest of the day.

Wednesday
- Spent most of the day in the library when I wasn't in class.
- Attempted to go to some events to get free food; promptly left when I saw the line for very tiny root beer floats was about 1/4 mile.
- Bought too much food again and zoned out watching more lame ping pong games.

Thursday
- Went to my classes again; got lost on the way to two of them. Only a freshman gets lost on the second day and not on the first.
- Happily discovered that I had already done my first project I received in my intro to engineering class a year ago.
- Ate lunch with a friend.
- Wrote an inspirational thing about Steve Jobs for a class.
- Talked with the cute guy at the tech store.
- Was asked to the silent disco; had to refuse because carpooling sucks. ):

Friday
- NO CLASSES!!!!!!!!1!!

Not a bad first week, huh? It was basically like my typical week during high school except with better food, more to do, and cooler people. I will say that one thing I like about college so far is the anonymity; almost nobody knows who I am, and that is incredibly refreshing. At my high school, everyone knew who I was, and most people weren't particularly warm to me because of that (I was a good student and I was disliked for that). But so far college has been a nice, perhaps slightly nerve-wracking, transition. Anyway, time to get to class; check back next week for more of my super interesting freshman experiences.
