This is my last day of summer.
At noon on Tuesday, August 25th, I will go to my first college clas.s.
I'm so nervous.
I hope I'll be successful in Computer Science.

I got my books about five days ago, and I've been looking at them a bit.
The idea of college really scares me. I'm very shy and I don't do well when I'm around people I don't know. I mostly just sit there and smile because I am awful at making small talk/conversation with people I don't know.
Hopefully the college experience will help me improve my people skills...
I don't know about that, though.
One of the main reasons why my people skills are so lacking is because I totally lack confidence in myself, and that's an even bigger obstacle I need to deal with someday.

I'm going to try to have a good last day of summer.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I'm planning on not sleeping much so I'll be able to get enough sleep the night before school.
A few of my friends want to hang out, but I don't know if I'll really be in the mood...

The last few weeks of summer have been really awful for me.
It all started when I got back from my awesome trip.
I had swine flu/H1N1 and wasn't able to do much of anything for about a week, my dad has been dying in the hospital for the past 2-3 weeks, my mom has been taking all of her emotions out on me and insulting me for the way I deal with things, I've been putting up with some petty friend problems, and I've been stressing out over school.
Right now I really could use a break, but unfortunately I'm not going to get one.

Hopefully I'll be able to break out of my shell and get the most out of college.
I'm hoping to become less scared and more excited.
It'll get better once I get used to it.
I'm just scared about the first week or so.
I'll probably blog again after my first day...

Good luck. The first day can be very nerve racking but you'll get used to it. Hopefully everything goes well for you, I dont go back till next Monday.

With everything going on with you right now, college should be the least of your worries. You'll do fine in college.
I'm really sorry about your dad. Hope things take a turn for the better for you.

Sorry to hear about your father. Maybe the college experience can pick you up. Good luck and have fun.

Your anxiety over college reminds me of how I felt when I started...pretty much the same way...and it was out of state in a big city...and I was 32 years old at the time. Nothing wrong with being the silent observer for awhile and within time you will gradually start finding people you can relate to, etc. Sorry to hear about your father and the added stress of your mother as well. Maybe college will actually help serve as a distraction once you get your toes wet and get into the groove. I have faith you will do well. Keep strong.

Good luck.I wish you the best and I hope everything turns out well for you
