My First Day Studying In A US School..

My first day of class was not that bad and not that good either. The subject we had today was Sociology from 5pm to 10 pm. You may consider this as a boring one because of the schedule. But personally, I found it okay to attend such sked since it’s just every Mondays and I am with my elder sister, Barbie.

Ok. I didn’t really had that wonderful night on my first class because I was like having a severe headache since morning and it became even at its worst an hour before our dismissal. And another thing that made me a little bit frustrated was when our prof assigned our group teams and we have a leader who is… grrrr, I don’t know. I am honestly stressed out and frustrated right now. I’ve seen that the other groups were really good and I felt a little bit inferior (although I was shown with confidence and participation during the class).  We will be making reports and presentations, meeting during Thursdays and compiling quizzes and assignments together. I don’t know how I’ll work with my groupmates (except with my ate, of course) when I found no initiative on my leader, most especially. But since this is “Sociology” class, I have to. Well, if she can’t start it, I will. Now I’m starting to feel the what you call, a cultural shock, particularly on the educational system (Men, I never felt this way since I got here in US… I mean, you know, the cultural shock.. not at all..)

I’ve told my mom and bro about these things. Of course, I didn’t receive any advice but to be courageous on facing this great challenge. They said that at first it was not not easy but as we go through, it will be easier if we will really be serious with it.

Gosh, I really need to study so hard. I don’t want to end very frustrated just because I did not excel in class or what. I’m looking forward of finding ways on how to improve my study habits and my dealing with other students and my professors. Maybe I need counseling and more advices from another students who became successful with their studies.

I need more CONFIDENCE right now and more and more and more knowledge! It’s too early to get frustrated. hehe..
