CPB Weekly Post #3

Since this is the third week of doing this blog, I've already introduced myself and told a little bit about me so I think I'll talk about the amount of work I have due in this upcoming week.  Not so much bout the class itself but more so about the work load, because for some reason I'm very surprised about it.  I know everyone told me college would be more intense than high school and I figured it would be too, but I wasn't prepared for an essay, two tests and a big speech all in one week.  I've already managed to make flashcards for one of my tests and started writing down some ideas for my speech but I don't feel as though I'll be able to prepare for all of these.
I'm so used to having my mom ask "Is your homework done?" or "Should you be studying?" that I almost forget about things because there isn't that constant reminder.  I always knew what to expect from a test in high school or how my essay would be graded but I've only had a couple tests so far in college classes and this will be my first essay so I don't know what to expect.  I don't know if I'm supposed to read the chapters over and over, or study the vocabulary words or which notes will be used.
I'm sure I will adjust to the way things are done, but then again I might not since all professors are different.  It's a big change but what I do know is I will have to work a lot harder.
