Ø List your own quote, favorite saying, song, or other expression of your feelings today.
Well there is four words that basically explain how i'm feeling today. --I feel like crap. I've been sick for about the last week and I just started feeling worse the other day. I wanna go out with my friends, but I know if i do i'll just end up feeling worse tomorrow. Not to mention I also have to go to work at 5. Oh well hopefully tomorrows bettterrr.
Ø Now that you made it to NMU – why are you here?
I'm here to hopefully get accepted into the Radiography program.
Ø How did you choose this school? I chose this school because it's in my home town and it has the program I am interested in. I also felt like it wasn't my time to move away from hometown yet.
Ø List initial observations of your new environment.
Well it's alot different from high school thats for sure. I love the fact that everyday I meet or see someone new.
Ø List initial observations of your classes.
I was suprised to see how many people were in my lecture classes. I didn't know they would be that huge. Butttt I do like the fact that my lab classes and my math class are smaller because it makes it easier to ask questions.
Ø What observations have you made about other students?
Most of the students I've met have been pretty friendly and alot of them have some of the same concerns I do about things that are being taught in class which is nice.
Ø About your instructors?
I have two instructors that I really have to pay attention too because it's hard to understand what they're saying, but other than that they all seem pretty nice.
Ø What do you think will be your biggest challenge(s) academically this semester? I think I might have a hard time with my anatomy class. It's going to be alot of memorization which I might have a hard time with.
Ø Finally, name one goal (personal, academic, etc..) you have for yourself next week.
I've been having a hard time understanding what my math teacher is talking about so next week I want to plan on going to her office and talking with her and asking her questions about what I need help with.

Nice!! I am very impressed that you are going to seek your Math Prof out and go speak to her during office hours. That's wonderful and you will find that it helps you out a lot.
I agree that Anatomy is the toughest class in this block. I emailed some tips last week, but to reiterate: a) try to sketch the slides as you move around the Lab (helps in memorization) and b) use index cards as flash cards for the Anatomy terms when you study. We are going to focus on this demanding class this week - talk about study tips etc..
A former student said if you do well on the Lab quizzes, you will be set for the Lecture exam because they prep you for it.
College is a great place to meet new people, have fun!
