As winter break comes to an end, a new semester is beginning to start. The first week is always hard. Needing to remember room numbers, schedule changes, and the work load. There is no doubt that the first week is the busiest and laid back week you'll ever have every semester.

This whole week was planned and organized to a tee that Monday and Tuesday were dedicated to money and scholarships. These two days were full of feeling poor again after you worked during the winter break to have money, just to give it away again. and to those who had scholarships, organizing and planning where that scholarship was going towards. Monday was also for those book purchases that might be a little too much money.

Wednesday is the day to do homework. Being on the right side of school and not getting behind during the first week. Granted the home work is lighter than it will ever be for the rest of the semester, it's still something that needs to be done.

Thursday is the day to get back into the game with school. No slacking off will do. Cracking down is key. This is also the day that makes you want to go back to winter break or drop out. But by now you are only kidding.

Friday is the day that you get to celebrate finishing your first week of classes. Making it through was hard and tiring, but worth every minute of it.

Keep up the good work and this semester should be a breeze!
