Ø List your own quote, favorite saying, song, or other expression of your feelings today.
"Don't worry about people from your past, There's a reason why they didn't make it to your future." and "Every story has an ending, but every ending is just a new beginning."

Ø Now that you made it to NMU – why are you here?
I like the enviorment, it's not to far from home but it'd not to close, the Radiology program and to meet new people.

Ø How did you choose this school?
I liked the environment and it has a good Radiology program.

Ø List initial observations of your new environment.
It seemed really safe and friendly.

Ø List initial observations of your classes.
My classes seem fairly easy, which is great. I think my UN100 class will be fun and easy. I really enjoy my EN111 also.

Ø What observations have you made about other students?
They seem really friendly and very approachable.

Ø About your instructors?
My CH105 teacher is hard to understand and my math teacher goes through lessons really fast. My UN100 teacher seems really nice and I think the class is going to be great. I also really like my EN100 teacher he explains things well and gives us a lot of time to do assignments.

Ø What do you think will be your biggest challenge(s) academically this semester?
My math class because I already have a hard time with math and our teacher does not explain things very well. Time management and studying will also be kind of an issue.

Ø Finally, name one goal (personal, academic, etc..) you have for yourself next week.
I just want to be able to keep up with all my classes and not fall behind. I would like to finish all my homework this week because I'm going home this weekend and I don't want anything to worry about.
