It’s coming to a close…

After this week everything is going to change. I feel like some or most of us will have to deal with a whole set of new classes and new people to deal with. It’s kind of sad because it’s definitely not like high school. I am used to seven or eight classes with a lot of the same people in them. It’s only like that because there’s about 30 slots to fill in a normal class, and only about 330 people in my class of ’09, so there’s going to be at least three people that are going to be in the same class. Here at Tech, there’s what, 28,000 people (around 5,000 in my class)? So I could potentially have classes with all sorts of different people in them, especially being an engineer where there are so many different classes people can take. Once I’m a senior I bet the number of people in my classes will decrease so it will be easier to have the same people to talk to. Anyways, it’s just kind of hard to deal with personally. I’m thinking in my head, “soooo… we have to do this all over again…?!?”
I made some cool friends here already. I’m getting better at meeting people and all, but it’s still hard. I’ll hopefully have some of my friends in classes next semester, but a lot of them don’t have anything on my schedule as of now. I don’t know many of them that want to go into the same major as I am going to go into, so a lot of them don’t even have the same classes. Another reason I’m sad is that all the friends I have made I will not see for over a month, so that’s kind of a downer. I’m used to seeing the same people every day or almost every day, so it’s going to be so weird. As of now I don’t really like the people from my high school. I don’t care to see them when I’m back. I have learned that they were really not real friends before (when I was in high school) and the people I’ve met here seem to be a lot nicer and true and actually are my friends. I didn’t realize how much the “high school” friends weren’t true friends until I came here. I will probably make an effort to see some of my friends from Tech over break, but they don’t all live near me, so I don’t really know what will happen (I just hope I will be able to see them).
I guess there are some reasons I’m glad it’s all ending: for one, all this work will be done and no more work for a good month. That’s such a relief because I feel like I’m stressing all the time. No more tests for a whole month. Nothing to worry about. It’s not like high school where you have a project or something over the break because it’s in the middle of the quarter. There are so many cool things about college.  I also like that it’s ending because I’ll be done with some classes for good (like Chemistry). Hopefully I’ll never have to take Chem again. I really do not like it and it’s a lot harder than the past two years that I’ve taken the class. I also hope I don’t have to take any classes at the Math Emporium anymore. The class I’m taking this semester, Linear Algebra, absolutely sucks. It’s the most annoying thing ever to go there. I hate it. I’m praying I don’t have to go there after next semester. I know I’ll have to go next semester because of math 1206 (calculus II), but after that, hopefully never again.
I kind of have an opposite opinion about the people in my classes too. Some people you just can’t stand haha and I’m not trying to be mean, but they’re just not your kind of people. Well, I met a bunch of new people here and well.. let’s just say some of them are not my type of people. So I will be glad to meet new people. I guess there are good and bad points about things ending. What are you going to enjoy or miss? O and have a nice break!
