Sept. 14 2011- Sept. 27 2011

My first weekend back home went pretty well. I saw family, an old friend, and some people that I had not expected to see. I drove back to Houston with my dad September fifteenth after classes. I had not planned on doing anything that day when I got back to Houston which was a good thing because I ended up waiting at my dad’s office for about 3 hours before actually going home. When I finally got home I walked into my room and it felt different, nothing had changed in there I just felt strange to be in there after a month. Next few days went by smooth, I got to see my see my niece and sister-in-law before driving my Audi A5, which I had to leave in Houston because I could not take it to San Antonio, to go see my cousin who’s like my brother. I spent to whole day with him just catching up. The next day I spent the day with my actual brother and my cousin at the shooting range, this day wasn’t as eventful but it was still nice. Sunday had been the day I was looking forward to the most, not because I was leaving but because I was going to see an old friend I had not seen in over a year. This weekend could not have had better timing because it was her birthday they day before I saw her. This little trip back home was fantastic it could not have been any better.

When I got back on campus I felt right back into the routine. I went to classes, I took notes, I studied, and I spent time with friends here. Everything has begun to feel mundane. Sometimes I feel like I’m just on autopilot. But this past week has been the most hectic so far. To begin with I started feeling sick over the weekend before I had three tests and a paper due. It was difficult to study this much information especially because each class had at least covered 6 chapters something I am not used to. Some how I had managed to study for each test and write my paper. Now all I have to do is wait for my grades.

I had my first real taste of how the college class works. The tests were difficult but now I know what to expect. It may seem that my transition to Trinity is coming to end, but I feel as if it is just beginning.
