whoops, kind of went on a mini rant here .. Its really kind of sad, 3 weeks in now and i dont feel like I am being challenged at all. I am carrying a full time class load and the only struggle I have encountered is waking up early everyday just to make it to class. Overall I know the workload will get heavier, assignments more in depth, but its just not what I was expecting to be college at all. I am looking forward to finishing off general ed and just focusing on my major and actually hopefully feel like I am learning something. Dont get me wrong all of my classes are interesting in their own way and I learn something new/different every session, it just all seems so basic still. Maybe I will start feeling the strain when I pick up an English class and have to write a lot, however even with that I type so fast and I believe myself to be very articulate English has never been a struggle for me at all especially if I know exactly what I want/need to say and how to say it. Shit, this post in itself is proof of that, I am just rambling on as things come into my head because I am curious as to if anyone else felt this way when they first stepped into college or returned. Its been 4 years since graduating high-school and I think that long break of learning life and its lessons helped me prepare for the responsibilities and skill sets I needed for college better than high-school could have. When I was working and moving between Cali/Texas/back to Cali, I had to meet deadlines with work or even keep appointment for interviews etc, preparing my resume and fine tuning so many other aspects of life and finally figuring out it was time to pick the books up again. I know its only been 3 weeks as I said, and it will get more difficult, however, I am not sure if I will even notice it. I am also curious to see how this experience would have differed if I was able to start right after high school like most. Either way I am going to end this mini rant and focus on other things that are important and just keep handling everything as it comes and plan ahead as best as I can.
