Mine has been laughably short and I'm not sure I'm ready for the abrupt thrust into a lifestyle I'm unacquainted with. I've had less then two months to relax and settle down from the hideously stressful end of the school year last year. I've never felt less ready to start school than now.
And yet I'm extremely excited. The three days of orientation down at the school was some of the funnest three days of my life. Some 60 hours spent with other prospective new students made me feel as close to them as some of my best friends, and I can't even begin to imagine what two years of life down there will be like. I'm having mixed feelings to say the least.
I hope this message finds you happy and well. Good luck and have a blast at the Dells! I've always wanted to visit there sometime.
Summer has been alright. I'm going to the Wisconsin Dells with a couple guys this weekend. Just finished my job and summer class. Bought some new clothes. Played some old video games. Ready for school to start.
Hey man, just stopping in to see how you're summer is going and how you're doing?
Mine ends in about seven days or so. I'm moving out and living in the dorms for two more years. I might pursue a masters after that, but I'm kind of excited for dorm life. I'm on the eleventh floor, ehe.
The differences in the test scores of the student body are pretty significant. I don't know how the SAT is scored (it's more of coast thing as the data also clearly show), but 4 or 5 points on the ACT is huge. And like you said, those data show basic information, but little about how the schools rank. Of course, that will largely be determined by your source.
Looks pretty close to similar. UW-M has a slightly lower acceptance rate and requires display of skills, and recommendations. That's about it. Although that doesn't say much from a ranking standpoint.
Ehehe. You really are an interesting and hard-to-read person. I just read your thread about miserable nights and can honestly say I've never heard of anything like that. Usually when I get sick I sleep for sixteen to twenty hours and am better. The only times I'm sick for more than a day require hospital visits and last weeks, and involve all kinds of antibiotics/treatments. Or it's just some kind of random bug that mildly inconveniences me for a few days and then goes away.
Well, glad your better, and good job on your GPA. I wish I could get more 4.0s, really. I've gotten... four 4.0s in my college career, out of 18 classes total. President's honor roll only three times, vice president's once. Last quarter I even got the second lowest grade I've ever gotten- a 2.8.
You're really an amazing student. I strive to be as intelligent and academically inclined as yourself.
Meds are foreign substances that alter chemical processes in the body. It counteracts the symptoms of the stress. Maybe you should work possibly towards eliminating the source of the stress? Seems like a better idea. And I'm not talking about dropping classes or taking on a lighter load. There are millions of ways to eliminate stress without needing meds or a different lifstyle.
I strongly recommend a stress management class. Most degree programs require a small portion of the credit be from a physical education class. Most everything else is training and education on making money, and living in the real world. That small portion is for treating your body right and being physically healthy. There's almost no better way to do it than in a stress management class.
