The stress is starting to pick up. Last week I had a paper due in my current world problems class (so boring), a philosophy exam on Thursday and History exam on Friday. It was so stressful especially since my first exam was terrible. I haven’t gotten my grades back yet, but I’m feeling pretty good about it.

So last time I left you, I was preparing for my first exam in geology. I was so nervous and freaking out so I made 72 flash cards and studied my notes and read the book. I studied SO hard. I went into the xam with my friend Jenna who is also on poms with me and is a sophomore. She told me that she hadn’t studied at all and not to worry because this exam was going to be “super easy.” So I went into it feeling better because of what she told me

So…. going into this school year all my teachers were telling me how surprising it is once you get to college how much more time you have. LIARS! At first it felt that way, until all my professors decided to have all of my exams in the same two week time span. Now, I’m a big stressed out wreck, wondering if I’m studying right and “Oh no, what if I don’t do well on the first exam, I’ll fail the whole class!”

It’s the third week of school and I’m still going strong thanks to red bull and starbucks. We had our first game last Sunday against our biggest rivals CU (U of Colorado) and WE WON! The last time we beat them was 5 or 6 years ago. It was an epic moment, especially when you get to stand on the sidelines and see the whole thing.

So, I’m almost done with my second week of school and waking up at 6:30 doesn’t get any easier. It may be better if I had interesting 8 o’ clock classes, however I wouldn’t classify Current World Problems in the interesting category. When signing up for the class it sounds good, but NO I’m not into the whole politics thing and my professer rambles on about blahh blah blaahhhhh and I don’t even know.
