Have you ever longed to go somewhere so bad and when you get there it's not quite the way you imagined? Well, that has been my life for the past few weeks at MC. Since December I have been counting down the days untill I was on my own and living at MC. I imagined lots of friends, lots of fun, and definitely no worries. Now, I'm not sayin my perfect little dreamed turned out to be a complete nightmare, but lets just say it has not been quite what I have expected.
At first things were very awkward. At least for the first week I felt as if I was in church camp. I had only one friend, and that was my roommate. I had so many different emotions, I didn't know how to react. Everyone seemed to be so fake... including me! That lasted about a week or two and then the true personalities started to show. Once classes started, I began to find my place. I started meeting new people and making new friends. Most importantly, I started having fun. After this drastic change, I realized that I did come to the right college, and my future is looking very bright.
Last but not least.... Since sixth grade, I have hated English with all my heart. That has always been my weakest subject, and the class that I've never looked forward to. To be completely honest I was not looking forward to college English either. I expected it to be a lot more boring and pointless. However, I've had a change in heart. I LOVE ENGLISH!!! This is by far my favorite class, and I actually look foward to Tuesdays and Thursdays. I always wonder what is going to come shooting out of Dr. Randle's mouth next! It is extremely interesting, and it seems like its going to be a great class. So although it started off kind of slow, things at MC are starting to look better. I have found my place, and I am ready to start this new chapter of my life.

Yeah, I never liked English class, either. But now in a college setting with a fresh new start and a great professor and classmates, I'm starting to like it better. It must be because we only have English two days a week instead of five. Still, it is a great class.

I can relate. I thought that MC was a little too much like a church camp the first week. But now that school has started it feels like a normal college.
Hm. I have to applaud your honesty. You're the first person I've seen who actually had something to say about MC that wasn't praise or declarations of love. Not that thats a bad thing... Its good that you're feeling more comfortable, though. I hope you make many more friends, and start to feel more and more comfortable here.
