College Life

                Before I write about how my semester is going, the truth in my previous post is the #5. My boyfriend went to Hong Kong last year and got me a shirt there. That was his very first gift to me and I treasure it so much.

                This is my second semester here in Oxnard College but supposed to be my second year as a college student. Like what I have written on my first in- class essay, I have already begun my first year in college in the Philippines but started all over again since I moved here. Now, I am a full- time student and am taking up five subjects (14 units).

                Since I only have five subjects this semester, I still have a lot of free time every day. My classes are from Mondays to Fridays but I get to go home early always. Also, I do not need to wake up early because my classes start at 9:30 and the school is near our house. These are some of the things that I like about school here. Back in the Philippines, I must always wake up early because classes there start at 7am and I still needed to travel about an hour just to get to school. It’s a routine that I have been used to before.

                My classes are going really well except for one. I admit that I procrastinate at some times but I do not know if it is just me or the professor is just too much. Nevertheless, I enjoy every class that I have, especially the ones that have interest in. My professors also affect my perspective on their respective subjects. Most of the professors I have are entertaining and great which make me focus during class discussions.

                College, for me, is really important. I seriously want to finish it early and have a rewarding job. I know that I still have a few years to do it and I must do my best in everything. This goal of mine is what keeps me going. Of course, my family is my very first inspiration. They support me in any way that they can and I am grateful of that. I strive to fulfill my dreams, not only for myself but also for my loved ones.
