Six Weeks In and I'm Loving Every Minute

     I have now been down here at USC for a little over six weeks now.  I love everything about college, even my classes.  I do not think I have ever been this excited about going to class ever in my life.  Most people say the excitement of college classes dies down within a few days but I have not experienced that disappointment of going to classes yet.  Although my Chemistry class is at 8 am I still really enjoy what I am learning, even if it is difficult to wake up so early in the morning.  That I have to say is the only thing keeping it from being my favorite class here on campus.  I am not a morning person when it comes to waking up.  Once I am up, now that is a different story I am ready to go for the day, getting up is the hardest part in the morning.  Apart from the morning wake-up difficulty, I LOVE chemistry.  Everything about the subject is fascinating to me.  Balancing equations, calculating molarity, determing limiting reactants, whatever it is I love to solve for it.  It includes the math that I love to solve for, yet the fascination and understanding of science.  My other favorite class is swimming.  I do not typically say this is my favorite subject because it is not an academic class but besides chemistry, it is the only class I look forward to and cannot wait to get too on Mondays and Wednesdays.  It is my stress relief class.  Whatever is going on in my life I can just get in the pool and let it out in my swimming and feel so much better when I get out of the water.  It is one of the best feelings in the world.
     Although I really enjoy all of my classes I have not done a very good job of reaching out to my professors outside of class.  I have emailed my Biology Lab TA a few times and my Chemistry professor once or twice but besides that I have not tried to contact anyone.  Part of it is because I am doing so well in my classes I have not had a reason to talk to any of them.  However, I am planning on contacting each of them or at least introducing myself so if a time comes when I really need help they will give me help knowing that I have made an effort before to establish myself as a concerned student.  Hopefully though I will never need to contact them because I am having difficulty!
