Week 2

Overall experience of college so far:

Had a good first week in college, met some nice people and looking forward to working in class with them for the next two years. I’m still currently finding my feet in terms of figuring out a schedule of when to do work and what time to leave in order to get to college on time.

Recent challenges:

I have been late to my first lesson at 9am twice in a row this week. First two late attendances of the year since the late slip rule at college starting applying, the timing couldn’t be any worse. Leaving to get to college for 9am is a nightmare as I have boarded the bus around 8:10am but have still managed to be late. On Monday morning I didn’t arrive in class till around 9:20am, but today I arrived in class earlier than that, around 9:15am even though I boarded the bus around the same time.

To overcome this challenge I will need to get on the bus earlier in order to get to college on time, so from tomorrow I will be leaving earlier and boarding the bus earlier.

The timetable has recently changed which means there is now a big gap between lessons, I also start Media AS today so I am naturally a bit nervy about meeting a new class as well as making assumptions on what the work will be like in months to come.

The first challenge allows me more time to get work done as I have to stay in college to go to my lessons later on in the day, so I am less distracted to work without thinking about going home. As for the second challenge, I just have to take it as it comes and relax. As long as I work hard throughout the year I should be fine.
