Well, as you may or may not know, I came in through the AID/DSP Learning Center Summer Program. If it wasn’t for them accepting me into their program most likely I wouldn’t be here at Salem State College. The summer program was a great and hard experience I went through. I pretty much started college before a lot of my peers and I already 6 credits coming into my fall semester. We weren’t officially college students unless we passed the summer program with a 2.5 GPA and I did that and more. I was so proud of myself because I did something I thought I would never do and that was attend college I also made a bunch of new friends that I’m still currently friends with. We also had Peer-leaders which were upperclassmen that looked out for us, helped and guided us. They were pretty much there for us if we had any questions that needed answers also to keep us under control.
Last week I had my interview to be a Peer-leader for this summer. I was very nervous at first because they had me reading my essay that I wrote and that made so nervous my legs started to shake. I couldn’t stop them! Then the worse thing happened they forgot to bring the second page to my essay and I completely froze up there. They just told me to freestyle it. So that I did and I just began to talk about why I was qualified for the position.
They asked me question after question and I answered them really well and put together. My nerves were nowhere to be found (thank goodness) they asked 20 questions and they also gave me some scenarios of situations that could occur while I’m a Peer-leader and I felt like I handled the scenarios really well. The interview went really good and I’m glad I went through with it.
A lot of my friends are telling that I’m going to get it because I’m a good people person. I they are right because I believe this will be a great learning experience for myself. I will find out whether or not I got hired starting tomorrow. I’m hoping for the better like always.

Wow... I think I'm doomed!
Well, a lot has been going on with me lately. Things at home aren’t too great and are unavoidable; they are still affecting me greatly. I’m trying really hard not to let my grades slip especially now that there is only a day left of classes. My attendance has sucked for the past 2 weeks, I don’t understand it I fought it for so long and now I feel like it’s finally taking over me (great timing right). I really don’t know what else to do. My grades lie in the hand of my professors and I hope they realize that I still haven’t given up.
In my Psyc class I’m all caught up for the most part. I emailed my paper that was due on Tuesday last night. Yeah I know very late and so un-like the new me that I feel I’m to lose. On the last quiz I got a 64 which brought my B- down to C+ I was trying so hard to maintain that B but I messed up. Right now my only hope for that class is getting a B on the paper and getting a B on the final to bring my C+ back up to that B that I so greatly want!
Well, in my English class, let’s just say I don’t even what I have in that class at all what so ever. I missed a few assignments (3) besides that he has given us 2 major assignments which have been 2 research papers. One which was 4 pages that I did, and the other that is 7 pages that was due today that I’m currently still doing. I talked to him today and he gave me until tonight to finish it which is perfect because I already have about 2 pages double spaced! I’m trying to make this paper good and I don’t want to rush it. He also told me I have to re-write/edit my first research paper and hand it in which is no problem because I can do it. I just everything with this class works out for me.
In my COM class I feel like I’m doing t he best out of all my classes I can’t tell you exactly what grade I have in it I just know its higher than a C. I haven’t missed any graded assignments and the lowest I got on a graded assignment has been a 70 besides that they have been 80’s and 90’s. I have missed a few non-graded assignments but it shouldn’t affect my grade in the class too much. I have a project due tomorrow for that class which is to write a 250 word press release and a 250 word news story which is pretty easy for me to do. I’m not worried about this class. Math, that’s another question mark. My professor is pretty old and he’s been sick a lot because he has Parkinson’s disease so he has missed a lot of school. I haven’t missed any of my tests but I just don’t know what I got on any of them and I have a test tomorrow actually. I feel like I did well on them but a feeling doesn’t really help me much. I still have to make up the homework which I will have plenty of time to do so this weekend and during next week. I’m not worried about the homework grades I’m more worried about my test grade and if I’m going to get a good grade in his class. I guess time will tell.
Finally this class! I actually enjoyed this class it wasn’t bad at all. I feel like I always came in prepared to work and learn something new. I always keep up with my assignments, that wasn’t a problem. My only big problem was I missed class the past 2 weeks because of this going on at home. Besides that I feel like I’m doing alright in this class.
At the end of the day I’m still an overwhelmed college student!
