Ø List your own quote, favorite saying, song, or other expression of your feelings today.
"I should be out in that driveway stopping you Tears should be rolling down my cheek And I don't know why I'm not falling apart Like I usually do And how the thought of losing you's not killing me I feel bad That I can stand here strong Cold as stone, Seems so wrong I can't explain it Maybe it's just I've cried so much I'm tired and I'm numb Baby I hate it I feel bad that I don't feel bad..."
Rascal flatts
My reasoning on this is simple; recently this summer my mother decided to up and leave on me and my family. As hard as it is to go through life without a parent or in my situation a mother i find myself feeling bad about not truly feeling bad she left because of all of her choices she made.
Ø Now that you made it to NMU – why are you here?
I'm here to become well educated. I truly love working with people and found myself interested in Radiology, like most in my Seminar class.
Ø How did you choose this school?
It was either going away to school for Radiology, or staying here and just going through the school of Radiology. As much as i would have liked to go away, I don't think I would have been able to leave my hometown.
Ø List initial observations of your new environment.
A lot of people smoke, big variety of people, most talk really loud for others to hear their conversations, everyone is checking everyone else out.
Ø List initial observations of your classes.
The professors don't care.
That it is so different than highschool
That it appears easier than highschool but truly isn't.
Ø What observations have you made about other students?
You can tell which ones live in the dorms.
A lot of the freshman stick together to feel safe.
Ø About your instructors?
oh goodness, I honestly wanted to cry my first week. I really can't understand half my instructors. One is seems really mean, and the others really nice.
Ø What do you think will be your biggest challenge(s) academically this semester?
Class wise i think my anatomy class, also a challenge will be managing time.
Ø Finally, name one goal (personal, academic, etc..) you have for yourself next week.
Well, i have an anatomy exam on the 16th, so i truly want to get myself to study all this week for the exam.

Great job! You're right, I noticed that sooo many people on this campus smoke. When I walk back to Hedgcock after class it's like I'm in a bar full of smoke. Gross, and what a stupid choice to make at such a young age! Ironically, as a Radiologist you'll be scanning patients for lung cancer some day :(
Anyways, it must be tough on you beginning college and "losing" your mom, I'm sorry. You seem to be off to an awesome start though and I'm confident you are going to do extremely well. I'm anxious for the results of the first Anatomy exam too. We'll discuss test anxiety (!) and study techniques in class Tuesday.
10/10 (A+)
You don't have to answer this, but which of your professors seems really mean? Are they genuinely mean or might that just be how it appears on the surface?
