Wrapping Up

I've been really busy lately, hence the lack of posts. But I'm happy to say that my hectic schedule is coming to an end. Last weekend I slept through the filming of the senior video so unfortunately I won't be in the montage of photos they show at graduation with music. My first college class is officially over! I passed Freshman Composition, and by passed I mean aced. I was thrilled to discover that I had earned an A in Mr. Byrds class. He was a really great teacher and I think I learned a lot in it. At first I looked at the class only as a requirement that I needed to get out of the way but now I realize how important it will be to future college courses. I'm clad I had composition first. I've enrolled in summer school so after I get back from France I'll have one more class at WU before leaving home. I've decided to take Sociololgy because it's part of the general education program and because I never had the opportunity to take it in high school even though I really wanted to. I took the Advanced Placement French exam last Monday. Hopefully my scores will be high enough to earn college credit for it. The part where we read a short story and answered questions about it was easy an so was the speaking part, unfortunately I always get really nervous on tests. For writing parts, my anxiety makes it difficult but sometimes I can overcome this disadvantage if I try to relax and think slowly. I completely fucked up the oral part though. After I left the counseling center I realized how simple the questions were and had I been less stressed out it would have been easier.
