CPB Weekly Post #9

Hard to believe we are already on to the ninth CPB this week which means there's only a few more weeks left.  From my first semester at southern I've already learned so much and accomplished so much, I'm actually very happy with everything so far.  I've learned how to live on campus, how to be on my own, how to really work for a good grade, and how to register for classes plus so much more!  And because of all the things I've learned, I've been able to accomplish quite a few things as well such as getting all A's by midterms, changing my major to what I really want, living peacefully with a new person and planning out the next four years of schooling.  

I think the thing that scares me the most though is the last item in that list which was planning out the next four years of school.  I have extremely high expectations and goals for myself, I'm not exactly sure what I would do if I'm not able to reach them.  Because I am a biochem major, I know I'll have to take numerous chemistry, biology, physics and math classes but despite the fact that I like these subjects, that might not be enough to get me through it.  Everyone keeps telling me how hard it's going to be and how hard I'm going to have to work but I haven't heard to much support or a "you can do it" which is nerve-wracking.  In addition to just making it through my major though, I hope to do quite a few other things in my time here at southern.  Some of those include; making the dean's list, joining a couple clubs and hopefully becoming the president (or vice president) of one, volunteering with a vet every summer and then last but not least, get into the veterinary school I really want.

I know I still have a long road ahead of me but seeing what I've already accomplished is helping me get there!
