First Week of the First Quarter

The first week of attending Cal poly has been very different than I would've ever expected.  It was harder to adjust then I originally had thought it would be, but I'm slowly getting there.  It was challenging to get used to the idea of cooking all your food and making new friends, having left your old friends and your family behind.  For me I had never lived with anyone but my mom so getting used to your roommates and the things they do was extremely challenging.  The worst part was how inconsiderate they could be- mainly in the morning when people are still asleep how loud and obnoxious they were.  Living in a constant mess was also hard.  I had to learn to not alone pick up after myself, but also after my roommates at times if I wanted our apartment to stay clean.

     Going to class on the first day I was extremely nervous and scared.  After making it through my first week, I was a lot less scared of mean professors.  It turned out each of my professors were genuinely nice.  The homework load for my first week was very light, but entering the second week today, I know there will be lots of homework to come this week.  Essays are really difficult for me because I've need had a good English teacher.  What scares me the most are the essays that I will have to write.  Next to that are tests because I am not sure what to study, how to study, or how teachers will test.  

     I still haven't adjusted to what to study and when to study though.  I'm afraid of never studying enough and getting bad grades therefor leading to not getting a job once I graduate.  Making it through the four years here is starting to really scare me and its only the second week.  I keep having to remind myself why I am here, how much I am paying, and the end goal in order to make it through.  Because of all the things I'm afraid I just hope my professors don't get mad at me for asking for help to much or asking to many questions.
