OH MY GOSH!

The first week of school is over and I'm already overwhelmed with homework, a job, and running. I knew that my major was going to be a stressor on my life and be tough to manage, but didn't know that the stress never takes breaks. We came back from our meet yesterday in Grinnell, where we placed fourth as a team, and came back and got a huge chunk of my homework done. I was very pumped that I got all that accomplished and thought I was going to have time to enjoy myself. Little did I know that when I checked my email this morning that my biology teacher added more homework over the weekend! Just like other freshman this has been a huge change for me that is kind of smacking me in the face from the start.  I don't know If I should keep the job or what but I just really need to find some techniques to make this year work as efficiently as possible. I know that college is supposed to challenge you and expand you as a learner, and I'm very excited for those challenges because I have huge goals. I just want to make sure I'm putting myself on the right path to achieve them and still enjoy my experience here at Wartburg.
