My 1st Day of College since the later 90s!
Mon Jan 14 2002

Today was my first day back to college since the later 90's! As far as the first day awent, I do hace to admit that my first day of school went well and I thought it was great. I did go to bed early last night and had awakened to my alarm clock going off at 5:45 a.m. to myself going and off to school by a certain time. I had left my apartment, leaving Emilee, my cat, behind for a few hours for the first time in a long time. The time I left was at 6:40 a.m. in order to get the bus I needed to get to school at 7:15 a.m.! Yes, I have been up since 5:45 a.m. this morning now, and i am definitely going to bed within an hour and sleep in since i don't have to be at school tomorrow for anything special but Wednesday and starting next week I will be going to school often to study and get homework done as studying at home is distracted by watching television or being on the computer! Also, I have to have time for Emilee who does not see my most of the day, several hours during the day I am away at school.

I do have to admit that I really like my classes, Business Law and Ecnomics very much! A lot of work is needed to pass the classes but I know I can do it if I put my mind to it...and there is no doubt that I am going to stick with it and do my best even on my bad days. I am not give up!! NEVER

As far as my first day, I did have the jitters and a bit of anxiety that put me in a world of confusion for a few minutes of my life, but both passed in due time. As far as my feelings go regarding the jitters, I do have to say that I felt wet with perspiration in the forehead and arms. At first i thought that people would think I was having a diabetic attack or something to that affect. My hands were beading with wetness and they felt warm with a fever-like feeling that I have felt many times before. As the perspiration was roling down my face, as if I walked into a chamber of fire, the wetness stung my eyes terribly. OUCH!!!

Despite the short moment of the jitters and anxiety, I am still here and I have survived my first day of classes at blackhawk Technical College in Wisconsin. Wednesday will be another day of hard work and study!!!!

    Congratulations on your first day (back at) college!

    I enjoyed reading your welcome page and I think you will have a lot to contribute to others in the way of insight and inspiration.

    I can relate to not wanting to leave the kitty at home -- I've got two! ;)
