My first semester of college has been decent, better than I expected, but I wouldn’t say that anything “great” has happened. I have had some good things happen to me. I made a 105/105 on my chemistry exam that a lot of people failed. I didn’t really study for it that much either; I worked the sample exams that we had and that was really the only studying that I did. Another good thing that I’ve accomplished was having a 3.5 midterm gpa. I wanted a 4.0, but it’s my own fault that I don’t have it because I don’t really study and do the work that I need to. I’m proud of my 3.5, however, because so many people told me that being a biology pre-med major while playing basketball was impossible. I’m proud of myself for proving these people wrong. Another good thing that I’ve accomplished was getting through the “boot camp” portion of the basketball season. I almost didn’t sign to play here because of this two week period of the year. When it came down to it, it really wasn’t that hard. It was annoying though; waking up at five every morning for two weeks for practice while having eight o’clock classes and having practice again at three. I think that this was my best achievement because I was so worried about it from the time that I signed my letter of intent in May until boot camp started in September. Even though I’m proud of these “good” achievements, I’m still waiting on my great accomplishments to come!
