My First Week of my College Experience

My first week of college experience was great. I enjoy my class, and my teacher Mrs. Fountain. It’s a very free and unstructured class. It’s very different just because there isn't really a lesson plan to follow. Practically the students of the class have the floor. If we don't really engage in the conversation then the class goes nowhere. I also enjoy College 101. Although we have done many of the things that we are doing in College 101 at my school, it’s still great to update everything that I know. I was kind of disappointed on the first day of College 101. When everyone was talking about what they wanted to do in the future I was kind of displease by some of the answers. I mean I understand that people want to do whatever they want to do in the future, but some of the things were kind of ridiculous. People were saying they would achieve 4.7 grade point averages? Is that even possible without losing your social life? I mean I would understand 4.0 or a more reasonable 3.7 but 4.7 seems a bit too out of reach.

Some of the stuff that we are doing in English is really beneficial to my writing and reading skills. Honestly, I really didn't have to read the book, and then i wouldn't. Yet, Dreams About my Father is a really interesting book because you wouldn't really picture our president saying or doing any of these things just because he is the president. Also writing all those autobiographical essays is a really fun. It makes you rethink about the past and about all those memories that I had when I was a kid. Also, last year in my English class, I didn't really do that well. My teacher was really strict on directions and didn't really let students express themselves unless it’s something that is followed by his instructions. With Mrs. Fountain's class, it’s so free willed and self-explained that its practically just free verse on how you feel about stuff. It’s more of the deeper meaning stuff then the details.

Everything else about the university is pretty awesome, except parking. Parking is probably the biggest pain the butt throughout this whole college experience. Every time I leave my house about 8:20 in the morning. I reach the actual UNO campus about 8:40. Yet to my understanding, there are absolutely no parking spots available anywhere. I always have to park at the church across from dodge, and by the time I get there it’s about 8:50. Walking to College 101 or Study Groups usually takes about 8 minutes depending on if the crosswalk is with in my favor. All in all I guess that is college life.
