That is right. You didn't read the title wrong. Right about now, I am starting to get a little anxious and a little nervous about classes. In a way, I want to just finish the classes I have now and start on the classes that I have already signed up for for the spring semester. Part of the reason is that for whatever reason, this semester seems to be dragging along ever so slowly. It is like watching maple syrup go down a jar- painstakingly. I am glad that the classes I am taking now is for my Geography and Urban Studies (I am not declared, but I am praying that everything goes right for me so that I can declare as soon as possible). However, some of the classes I am taking are too frustrating or too elementary. There is no middle, really. For me, the fall semester is slower than the spring semester because the weather is turning cold and the options for preferable and required classes are now available as I would like it to be. Well, this is something I do not have any control over. I just pick that would be a good time for me and try to deal with the class as best as I can. In the spring semester, I am taking mostly History courses. I am so happy. Personally, I can't wait to take courses like Crime and Punishment in Modern America and Economic History (British History, if you were wondering the genre of the course). These courses are preferable and required, respectively. I am not the strongest writer but I am willing to give it 150% to a project. I am ready for a change in my classes.
I am typing this at 1:45 in the morning. I have class at 10 a.m. (Applied Statistics). Thanksgiving Break does weird things to me and I think the same sentiment is felt by most OWU students. I have nothing against my four classes and other responsibilities tomorrow but to be honest, I do not feel like going. It has nothing to do with receiving my test back in Statistics (I do not have a good feeling about my score, unfortunately) or doing homework for Power of Maps (why didn't I just do the homework over the break like I did the other homework and readings) or having to endure a grueling hour in Gray Chapel, singing Sanctus and Gloria (honestly, I was so busy doing other work, I didn't study the music; however, I am a good enough musician to recover from this, I hope) or the fact that I have to turn in a paper for Cultural Geography and unveil my plan for my part of the presentation for Bangladesh- all in the span of four hours (10 am- 2 pm). Eventually, when I am walking to class, my stomach will drop and I will have to play the endurance game of being attentive in all of the classes. Well, guess that? I probably will not have the pleasure of losing my attentive in class because my grade for the exam will probably penetrate to the cores of my being and shake my being into consciousness for the entire day. Yeah, I am preparing for the worst, expecting a miracle, somehow. Honestly, I am not 100% at Ohio Wesleyan. A part of me wants to go back home and attend to business matters back there. We all got business matters back at home. I'm here now so I might as well go and face the day.
I am anxious to see how the semester will turn out for me. So far academically, I have achieved in the above average range- not superior but better than your average student. If anything were to happen that I didn't anticipate, I will have to deal with that when the time comes. I am a man and I will have to own up to that and fix it. I will succeed and a bump in the road SHALL not stop me. The last month will be a roller coaster, for sure. Well, I gotta get some shuteye; it will be a shame if I miss my first class because I decided to stay up all night writing to you. I also have to study for an Environmental Alteration Thursday and turn in my research paper on Elizabethan Literature and the Experience of England for my Making of Britain soon after on Thursday. You know what they say: Life is (fill in the blank).
