This week was quite an overwhelming week, but I was able to manage it for the most part. After a whole week of taking midterms for several of my classes, I feel less stressed and looking forward for what is to come. Also, this past week I talked to my advisor and went over the classes I should take for the following semester. A couple of days ago, I realized that we were half way through the semester already. I never realized how fast time has gone and that my first semester in college is quickly coming to an end. I sometimes wonder how things would had been like if COVID-19 never existed. However, we are forced to such harsh reality in which no one isn’t able to do much about it. The only thing I can say is that college is changing me and making me a new individual. Looking back, college had change my views and expanded my overall thinking in general. Never in a million years, did I ever see myself being able to survive college, but here I am doing what I can to succeed and do what I want to do in life.
As for this week, we didn’t do any readings in class as we mostly focus this week on trying to format and come up with a topic for our Character Profile Assignment. I really look forward for this assignment as it involves analyzing and studying a character from a specific reading that we have done in class and coming up with a diagnosis. As for this assignment, I chose to talk about Seymour in “A perfect day for bananafish” as it was something that I personally found, would be interesting to talk about. Also this week, in my psychopathology writing class we were asked to do research that would go more into depth of the diagnosis made upon our chosen character. Doing research is something I find interesting and exciting to do because you are looking for pieces that would help you learn and understand more from that particular topic that you decided to talk about.
As for the upcoming days, I’m going to finalize my character profile assignment and try to manage all the work given in other classes. Although college might be stressful for some, with proper management and effort, one will be able to go through such busy times.
