It's already november.... FML

(*Note- If the subject title is offensive by saying "fml" I apologize, but that is how I feel...maybe think of it standing for, 'forget my life' seeing how this year has gone by so fast!!) Whatever. You know, honestly at the beginning of this semester, I was extremely nervous attending OCC for my first time after being out of high school for a couple years. Now that I look back, I have absolutely no idea why I was so nervous. High school was different: gossip, drama and a ton of stress. I'm not saying that these situations may never occur during my time here, but everyone had me a little freaked out by saying it's "just like high school, just harder". In my opinion, I've found that not to be the case. I used to get so distracted in high school classes; people were always immature and never paying attention, which always threw off my attention as well. College on the other hand (whether you may agree with me here or not) makes me feel more concentrated and amused about what I'm learning. I enjoy being involved with the different age groups as well, seeing their insight on experiences they might share with the class, or just the comfort of knowing that whatever age you are, you are never too old to learn. I used to always pick on my mom for being in her 40's and still doing college classes, just to learn more. But now I understand. As a comment towards Mr. McCoys' class, I enjoy what we've been learning about, it's really opened my way of thinking farther than I thought it could go. I would like to write my own book sometime in the near future but every time I would brain storm the idea, I got intimidated by my own thinking that I would run out of things to say; that people might not understand me. It gives me hope knowing there's more I can do with my writing and thinking by observing and applying the different ways of writing we've learn in class. Props.
