As an assignment for my Rhetoric and Composition class, I have been instructed to keep a blog for this semester. The minimum number of posts we can have is 10, 6 guided and 4 self paced. However, we're allowed to have as many self paced ones as we'd like. At least, that's what I'm hoping. I'd really like to hit the ground running with this whole blog thing. I always feel like I've got so much to say but I haven't done much exploration with this medium.
As it turns out, this isn't just my first semester blogging, but it's my first semester college-ing.
So I've decided that this will be an account of the ups and downs of college as well as haven for some of my rhetoric assignments.
To start, I'll provide some background.
I went to a small, private, all-girls Catholic school in Maryland. I found my college through some girls who formerly attended my high school. They had nothing but praise for it so I decided it wouldn't be a bad home away from home for the next four years. So I packed up and moved halfway across the country to Texas!
I've been here a week and I'm still a little speechless.
The people in Texas are so much different from people back home. Not in a bad way, it's just quite a culture shock. I've made some great friends already but I miss my old friends a lot, especially Nicole. I can't begin to describe my relationship with her except to say that she is my best and truest friend. You'll be hearing her name a lot.
As a biology major, I'm taking a few fairly difficult classes like calculus and introductory biology. Those are already catching up to me and I've only been once.
Other than that, week one has been spent adjusting to the college life. I'm not there yet but I'm expecting great things.
Sincerely,
Mare
