Adjusting to College

So far I think I'm doing a pretty good job so far at adjusting to this college thing, the only major problem I seem to be having is getting up on time to go to my early class at 8:30. Today I did myself wrong by convincing myself that it was just conversation day of Arabic and I didn't need to go because we weren't learning anything new. However, we always learn something new sure it may not be a new letter or new short vowel marking or any of the other confusing stuff in that language but it's practice and it's hearing the correct pronunciation of words from a native teacher. I got lucky this time around and our teacher canceled on us at 7:20 AM this morning so I got lucky but it made me realize the rationalization I'm coming to in my head that sleep is more important than education, and while I certainly agree that in certain situations it's better to sleep than to study more but this morning is not a situation I condone.

I'm maintaining good grades in all my classes which is something I'm proud of, I'm hoping to achieve a 4.0 GPA this semester to give myself a good foundation for the next 4 years cause I remember being in Highschool and having to pick up and try to get back up from where I put myself initially so I definitely think I'm taking a step in the right direction. Anyways, off to work some more and then bed early so I can actually make my 8:30 class tomorrow.
