Even though this is the first week of school, I can already tell that this semester is going to be highly busy for me. This is my first semester taking classes as a Neeley Fellow, and being a Fellow creates a lot of added pressure that is not on the average student. I wouldn't say I am overwhelmed, but I would say that I understand that in order to do well this semester I will have to use my time wisely. This may, at times, mean staying in one night to work on a project or paper while the rest of my friends go elsewhere. Living in the fraternity house also adds a bit of chaos to my life. Already I have found that in order to get any amount of studying done, I need to lock my door or go somewhere to be alone. It's pretty hard to study when your brothers are blasting music next door or constantly going into your room asking you what your plans are for the night.
At this point, I feel that Business Statistics will be my most difficult class. Although this is not one of my two Fellows classes this semester, the material all seems like a foreign language to me. This is one course where I will have to dedicate a lot of time if I want to succeed and make an A (which is definitely one of my goals). Financial Accounting at first seemed a bit nerve-wracking, but after doing some of the readings and going over some of the problems in class I am feeling more confident about the class now. Foundations in Business is a class that I can't tell yet how difficult it is going to be. Being a Fellows class, I am sure I will be given a solid work-load. A majority of the grading in the class is based on presentations to the class, which is something I enjoy doing, so hopefully I can make a good grade on those projects. Cultural Memory is a class I feel I will do very well in, as well as in this class too.
