Freshman Frustration

I would like to start off by commenting on the amazing weather that has graced the EC campus. It's been sunny and warm, which has allowed me to wear flip-flops which are by far my favorite type of shoe. This campus is especially beautiful when the weather is nice because people have been outside either working, or just hanging out. A group of us even ate lunch outside while others threw a baseball and a football around. It's a picture perfect campus during these spring days. I've also been able to run outside, which is a great change from the boring treadmill in the gym.

Most freshman, me included, are stressing over the Freshman writing program. I know that I have one 10 page paper, two 3 page papers, one 5 page paper for just my college composition class. I just keep telling myself that all of this writing is going to benefit me down the road. However, at this exact moment I want to throw my computer out my window.

This past weekend my friends from home did not come up to visit, which was a bit disappointing. However, my mother, grandmother and sister are coming up next weekend, which is going to be great. Every bit of home that I can get here is helpful. This past week we found out what our room selection lotto number is and knowing my luck I knew I would get a very high number. Guess what?..... 170. There are only about 215 girls in my class. I wasn't last, but I was pretty close. Luckily my roommate for next year has a low number. I'm thinking Perry is where we will try to be for next year. Speaking of next year, I had my Orientation Leader interview which was fun, I am hoping to be an Orientation Leader for a small group. I can't wait for the in coming class of 2013. I have been in contact with a few members of the class through facebook, and they seem very eager and excited just like I was during this time my senior year.

Oh! For those of you that have read my previous entries, my sister has just started physical therapy and is healing properly. We are very thankful for that.
I should get back to writing my papers..... JOY!!! Have a nice day, and enjoy the weather!!
