college life

after this next last, i will have completed my second week in college. Even though i'm two weeks into the next four years of my life lol...college is going great. I truly think i got the hang out of going to each class, and the parking deal(trying to get a parking place is very intense). I'm still a little scared about my classes however because i know as the weeks go by they will get harder and harder. First text for each class, totally not looking forward to that; i'm actually scared out of my MIND for the first test in each of my classes. O well, i guess i should be ready to ge them over with lol, who knows. Math is actually going really well right now, we are basically reviewing things i have already learned from highschool, i guess going to a private college prep school was a good thing after all. I think i am more prepared than i thought!! well hopefully as days go by i will become more and more of a college person!!

A musical instrument-flute
At the mention of the instrument flute, most people remember the scene from the famous, funny movie American Pie; however, they never stop and think how wonderful and amazing this instrument really is. This long yet diligent instrument is fun to play. In high school, I was in the band and also the marching band. On the field, this quite instrument is hardly heard because its sound is quite when matched against the hard sound of the brass and it not up close to someone since marching band is performed on a field; on the other hand, in a band performing on stage in a closed area, the flute is often heard because of its high pitched notes and a room is often quieter then a field. When first learning how to play my flute, feeling the smooth texture on the silver first placed in my hand, the many notes confused me, but I was determined to learn. I wanted to be able to get the lovely, soft, beautiful sound that many musicians can get out of it. So I practiced like crazy. Once learned how to play well, the flute can easily calm any person down and often takes someone to a place of flowers so beautiful; it just relaxes them. That is what I aim for every chance I get to perform. I want the beauty of the flute to be shown to others around me.

what i want to get out of my english 1101 class

To tell the truth to everyone out there, i really dont like english that much and i am not that great at it either.
I would like to learn how to spell just a little better. Spelling is not my strongest post, and most of my friends can tell you that. Like when i try to send them a text or make them spell out pretty much everything when i am texting someone else while i am around them, it gets really annoying to them sometimes. I guess that's why i am not really looking forward too much to the writing part of engl 1101 likem the essays or papers, cause normally i don't do that well on them because of my spelling and a little more too.
I would like to become a better writer. I always have goood ideas to write about but putting them down on paper is not my strongest point. Maybe i can learn in this class to do just that. Most of my friends enjoy writing so i guess i want to be more like them and be excited about writing just a little more. I don't want to be too excited but i don't want to hate it eveytime time a teacher says get out a paper and a pen and write about whatever the topic they want us to write about.
I always hear that i am a great writer and i have a great paper but i have too much mistakes or errors. I would like to not hear that anymore!! Hopefully that will happen sooner or later because of this class and what i will learn in it!!
