Some Thoughts on My 1st Semester of College

So it's hard to believe as I sit here typing this, that I've completed my first semester of college! It's funny, as much as college was always a part of my plans it seems so weird to be where I am right now. I'm only 17 and have a full 15 college credits!

Anyway, I took my last final today! The knowledge that I'm done gives me the most amazing feeling! I couldn't help thinking back over my first college classes, my first classes with teachers other than my parents. I'll never forget the feeling of shock when the first thing we studied in my College Writing I Class was what a noun was! I felt like I was back in 1st grade! Not that I'm complaining, I got all As J From that class I moved on to Old Testament. Again, I was slightly shocked when we spent the first hour memorizing the books of the Old Testament, again something I did in 1st grade! Though Old Testament did end up being my favorite class, the beginning was rather humorous.

My Monday classes weren't quite as shocking, and they didn't make me feel quite as juvenile. However, by the end of the semester, I'm so glad that my New Testament class is over. Some of the most boring three-hour time chunks ever! Foundations of Education was neither juvenile nor boring, but I'm still glad it's over. It's funny how I can enjoy teaching and yet hate school.

So all in all the like/hate ratio was fair. I LOVED Old Testament and enjoyed Foundations of Education, while I HATED College Writing (more about that at a different time perhaps) and barely tolerated New Testament. Let me say again though that I am SOOOOO glad to be done! And get this!!! I think I even have a 4.0!!!
