College

[JulielovesDisney]

I move in tomorrow. I am extremely nervous. I'm also excited but mostly nervous.

Good luck!!

So, I got into Kingston My A Level results were BCC. B for Geography, and C for Biology and Psychology. I was lucky with Biology. I checked the percentage of each subject, and Biology was just over 60%, which is a C.

Congrats!

I move in tomorrow. I am extremely nervous. I'm also excited but mostly nervous.

You'll be fine! Move-in is probably the biggest hill you'll face as a freshman. After a couple days, you start to know your dorm mates and voilà, not so nervous!

As for me...6 days! Next Thursday is my move-in and I'm SO. EXCITED. Even if I do have to help all the Freshman and Upperclassmen move in. Whatevs. I get a shirt and I get to get to the bookstore before everybody else does so I know they won't be out of stock with the books I need. And I can get the used copies! Saving money, it's what college is all about.

Ahaha..that's what I'm doing too! I'm gonna be up there way before most of the other students, so I get pretty much first dibs on the books!! Love it!

Best of luck!! And have lots of fun! Can't wait to see the pics!

I'm applying early decision in November...I'm so nervous.

My top choice is definately Connecticut College, with Dean as a possible fallback, or RIC.

 

[JulielovesDisney]

I move in tomorrow!! The car's all packed up! I'm leaving tomorrow morning. I'm so excited!

 

[Axel]

FIVE MORE DAYS! Though, it's really only 4...because I MOVE IN ON THURSDAY!!!

I'm so excited to be going back. Even though I still have a paper from last semester I haven't handed in yet. I mean, wut?

Good luck to all of you getting ready for a new semester! To those just starting at a college/university, you'll all love it!

I'm about to start my senior year of college and the feeling is bittersweet. I'll be done with my courses in December (thank goodness!) and then I will begin my student teaching in the spring. I'm hoping my course load will be easier than last semester (4 literature courses at the 300 level and 3 at the graduate level)

This coming semester, I'll be ending my college career with American Lit. (the first half). It's a survey course so it should be one of my easier classes lol. Planning and Evaluation - curriculum writing, Issues in Teaching Writing, Methods of Teaching Writing, Principles of Grammar (sounds like an elementary course but it's actually very much the opposite lol), and Shakespeare Hist./Trag. This is my 3 course on Shakespeare. I love it! As an English major, Shakespeare is my forte lol. I have been studying the bard since I was in 7th grade.

Aside from my courses, I'll be doing 60 hours of in-classroom observations. They generally don't allow 60 hours at a time (it's a two part 30-30) but I refuse to delay graduation lol. I'm also involved with a few things on campus such as I'm an officer (secretary) of Sigma Tau Delta (the national/international English Honor Society -- any of you guys members?? Maybe I'll see some of you at the Spring conference in Pittsburgh??) I'm also going into my second year as a Campus Rep. for the Disney CP - so I'm going to be super busy with that. AND on top of all that, I'm an English tutor on campus. Ughhh I might just die.

I'm a sophomore at Nazareth College and I move in on Saturdayyyy

Living in a suite with one of my best friends and two people I don't know...one of them is a foreign exchange student from Mongolia! I'm excited to meet her for sure, but I'm a little nervous about sharing a bathroom that I have to clean myself with people I don't know.

I'm a music therapy major so of course I'm taking like eighty billion classes...Aural Skills III, Music Theory III, Music Theory Tech Lab, Thinking Mathematically, Western Music I, Principles of Music Therapy, Wellness For Musicians, Keyboard Score Reading, two private lessons (voice and percussion), Concert Band, and Percussion Ensemble! I'm also in an acapella group, Fermata Thin Air, and I'm a co-historian of my school's GSA, Lambda...talk about a busy schedule!

I'm taking my first college Shakespeare course this semester! I'm soooooo excited! I'm an elem ed major with a co-concentration (sorta like a minor) in English. I am so excited, but really terrified for the Shakespeare course! lol I love him, but I know it's gonna be a TON of work. I also have a creative writing course. Along with my 2 other elem ed courses, I have many, many long nights of paper writing and reading ahead of me...but I'm really looking forward to it! lol

A week until classes start!

I'm SO excited about my classes starting, but I'm more excited about my financial aid refund showing up any day now.

Don't be terrified of Billy, hahah. What course is it? I mean, does it focus on any particular area (i.e. comedies? tragedies? histories? romances?) I have read all his comedies, romances, and the majority of his tragedies. I have yet to read a history, I'll confess - I've never been entirely interested in reading about King Richard or Henry the VIII haha (but that will all change this coming semester for me). I took a creative writing course my sophomore year of college. I LOVED it. While I'm a literature concentration in my primary major, I absolutely love writing - especially creative writing. My guess is that your creative writing course will be more work than your Shakespeare class lol. If it's anything like the class I took, we had a ton of stuff due for each class. It all depends on the professor. That's how I see it. God, I would give anything for the chance to take creative writing again hahah, too bad I can't afford to waste 3 credits by taking it again lol.

By the way, I'm an English major and Secondary Education major haha. I think I failed to mention the Education part in my last post lol.

There's no focus, it's just a general 300 level Shakespeare course. I had to take Shakespeare or a Chaucer course...and Chaucer isn't my favorite..lol. I read an excerpt of one his works in high school, and I was so bored. I hated it.

And as for my creative writing, I'm excited for it. I do love to write for fun, but I'm just nervous about the workload. My two edu courses I have to write units and make up projects that I would use in a classroom. They are veryyyy time consuming, as you probably know.

All I know is that I will be spending every night in the library this semester..lol

To be honest, I would have picked Chaucer.

Haha...never for me! Give me Shakespeare and I'm a happy camper lol

Julie, I love your signature.

 

[yellowlabforever]

So here I am, all settled in my dorm room. It is really awesome, and I'm happy

 

[Sparx]

Your dorm is so cute!

ETA: I have that white table! Mine is black, though.

 

[DramaQueen]

uuuugh my school starts in 2 weeks, I am NOT looking forward to it.
Going to a commuter school sucks a lot. It doesn't feel like you're in university because there is no campus life.

AND I have to go buy a parking pass and a friend of mine said she had to wait in like 4 hours to get hers!! I haven't been able to get a day off work, but I'm leaving early today...if they are sold out I will FLIP MY LID.
My stupid schools website isn't working right now either so I can't even check online if they're sold out or not.

Next year, when I hopefully go to teacher's college, I'm definitely going to pick a school that's farther away so I can live there and actually feel like I'm experiencing university.

 

[mebbradley]

I'm all moved in and settled in! My classes start today (but not untill 2 pm!) but I have an interview and a bunch of errands to do before then!

This was the car saturday night:

And my room:
