Hi! I am back!
Hi! I just come back from Union Collge. I had been Union College for five weeks. It is the pre-freshman program offered by HEOP. The college life is very difficult than high school life. Firstly, there are alot of reading and writing. For instance, when we started English class, the professor gave us the syllabus which contained all of dues days, like essay annd reading assaignment due dates. Everyone had to read about 50 pages each day. Then we had quiz each class about reading. It was so difficult for me, and I got shock as I knew it. I thought it was so imposible for me to read such many pages. It is the work of five weeks for high school students.
So I realized that the college is not that easy as what I thought before. It is working place and people have to work there. It is also a very serious place, because we only met professore three times a week and we did the work by ourselves most of time. I also knew that English is big challenge to me. 50 pages a day, and how could I finish on time. I never read that much book a day. Also my writing has alot of trouble. High shool essay is about how you prove the thesis by using the book. But the college is about how you analize your thinking about book in order to prove your ideas, and it is about your thinking about the book and why you write the way you write about. It is so difficult, becasue I did not write such high level essay in high school. I read the book about the meaning about the book, not how I interpreted the book. It brought me hardship. Fortunately, we had some tutors there. I went to see tutor and discussed the book every day. I talked to professor about my essay and to figure out my problem. I was so delight to see myself improved each time.
The time is so important in college. Every second, every minute worthes something. How well you mange you time is how will you success in your acedamic. Yes! We have a lot of free time, but we have to do works. For instance, I needed to spend like five or six houres on my reading. If I went to play ball and sleep for two hours, I may not be able to finish my reading due to tommorow. Failure will be the outcome. The professors do not care about private life, they only see how well you do on test or quiz. My schedule was very tigh. We had classes and activities everyday. I planed my time all of time. I picked out the book to read when I got time even a little. I rushed every sigle day for the work, either writing essays or reading books. I got no life there. Everybody missed home. I always heard somebody sang: "I don't want to be here anymore..." That what I wanted to scream to the sky. We counted how days we needed to stayed there. Working working. The food is also terrible. I did not know what to eat everyday.
But everybody passed the classes as through the hard working.
