ash wednesday
Hey all
It is ash wednesday for Lent this year I am giving up swearing. It is going to be a difficult and arduous journey. WHy you may ask because in Findlay I could separate friend speak and then adult/school( classroom) speak... here it is difficult. You never go "home" persay, you just keep hanging out with your friends. College is kinda like a giant party in the fact that you are constantly around your friends. It is also about responsibility, self respect, and knowing when to say no. You have to get your work done and sometimes that means turning down some other thing.
Oh yes, I am officially going abroad to Spain next year. I am sooo excited!!
I need to do laundry and do some homework, I realized while I was writing this that I miss Mrs. Mason, isn't that so odd? I was in honors literature all of high school except senior year and I only miss the non honors teacher. I think it's because she gave us/me real life experience, I wasn't teated like "a smart kid". I guess maybe I relate to that because here no one is really a "smart kid" the only different levels are basically for different years. Yes, I took 200 level courses, but so do other people. I guess its nice to realize that when you get to college no one knows you. I had to create a place for myself to thrive. Nothing gets handed to you in college because you are "smart" like it does in Findlay. I am excelling at Wooster because of me and what I have shown them, not the reputation that we all carry with us when we are at home.
Just some random thoughts... hang in there.
