Ø List your own quote, favorite saying, song, or other expression of your feelings today.

My favorite song that would best represent my feelings as of today would be Afterlife by Avenged Sevenfold because i'm in a really crappy mood.



Ø Now that you made it to NMU – why are you here?

I am here to succeed in the classes that i paid for and to get the career that I have wanted since I decided back in high school.


Ø How did you choose this school?

I chose Northern because it was close to home; I'm from Iron Mountain so I am not that far away, and it had the program that was looking for to pursue my future career in Radiation Therapy.


Ø List initial observations of your new environment.

My first observations of college would be new location, new students, new teachers, new living quarters, and everything in between.


Ø List initial observations of your classes.

Some of my classes i believed to be pretty difficult... I was right on my anatomy class, however me and Dave formulated a plan that should help us succeed in acing the class. My chemistry class is not too bad, math is boring as hell, english is really easy, jazz band is fun since im a saxophone player, and Medical Terminology is a piece of cake..already going to take the mid term this week.

Ø What observations have you made about other students?Ø About your instructors?

Some people i met at first i thought would be cool or potential friends, but as i found out the hard way yesterday, you can't trust any body. My instructors seem pretty understanding and easygoing, so I believe i will not have any major issues with them over the year.

Ø What do you think will be your biggest challenge(s) academically this semester?

My biggest challenge academically this semester is getting a 4.0 especially with anatomy breathing down my neck and waiting for me to fall into a quagmire and screw myself over for my chances of getting into the radiography school next year.

Ø Finally, name one goal (personal, academic, etc..) you have for yourself next week.

Next week, i would really enjoy passing my 2nd Anatomy lab quiz, because the first one i didn't do so well on since i didnt really know what to expect, but now i have an idea and i believe i will do much better on this one...and of course pass my other classes too.
