Day 2, The Adventure Continues

So then came Wednesday: day 2 of classes. My Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule is great! I have only 2 classes: one from 9:30-10:20 and the next from 10:30-11:20. Way different from high school! But let's begin where I left off.

I began my day with Introduction to Literature. I ended up sitting next to a boy that turned out to be in my Civ class. It's always great meeting people you know you'll see around. We started off by filling out information sheets about ourselves and we went around the room stating our names, hometowns, majors, and something interesting about ourselves that no one would forget. It was a fun way to meet everyone, and we learned some pretty interesting things about one another! After that fun stuff, we started off the course reading Shakespeare's sonnet number 18. You know the one, "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?..." It's a classic. And that was my first day of English class.

Then came DWC, but a class this time. We had reading due for today assigned on the syllabus given to us the day before. It was on the history of Mesopotamia and Egypt, and in class Father McGonigle led an interesting lesson on it. He gave us an outline so we were able to take our notes right on it. The organization will really help out when I'm studying for an exam! The greatest part about the class so far is seeing everything intertwine between history books, works of literature, and the Bible. DWC really is a special part of PC, and no other school has anything like it. In all honesty, I'm not the greatest fan of history class, but I haven't even been bored yet, so I'd say that's a good start!

I also had a chance to check out the brand new fitness center with my friend from home and her roommates! It is absolutely amazing. Unfortunately, there were no treadmills or elliptical machines open, so we ended up running around the track downstairs. It wasn't as fun as running in place in front of a cable TV, but hey, it did the trick!

And that was day 2. I found all my class rooms and I was on time. Each class came with a handy dandy syllabus so I know exactly when everything is due. I even had some free time to check out the gym. All in all, I think I'm going to survive!

There is also so much going on around campus, but more to come on that later. I've got reading to do!

did you take like extra curricular activities during your high school years? like I am so confused about how clubs help you with college

Harveen -

I did do a lot of extracurricular activities such as sports and clubs. Schools just like to know that you are well-rounded and involved. I suggest you talk to Scott Seseske, part of the admissions faculty here, to find out more. Check out his blog!
