Second Quiz

Today was the second psychology quiz. The studying paid off but there was one question where Ana, Yoline and I were stuck on. We had a nice lunch and are in our dorms keeping dry starting up our papers due on Monday.

Being here is so different from brown. The weather at brown was mostly sunny, hot humid but overall predictable. Here it can be Sunny few hours then a storm can hit the next. And even when it's rainy its really hot in the dorms. Luckily we have fans. At Brown we didn't have fans. I loved being able to walk down Thayer street and visit all of the interesting shops hand. It felt more like a community there, whereas here at Cornell everything seems more individualistic. Everyone seemed more helpful at Brown. Since this is a college credit class everything is taken more seriously. So the benefit of this that I'm getting an even more real view of college life. But Brown prepared me with internal growth and confidence and its being applied here at Cornell. Being in Brown helped me to be here today in Cornell.

Wendy,

Thanks for being so thoughtful in this post. It sounds like you're doing a lot of "putting it all together" and building on your experiences the last two years.

Everyone will have a different personal experience of this journey. I appreciate your being so introspective -- it shows that you are growing and becoming very analytic -- especially understanding your growing self-confidence.

Keep working on your papers and start thinking about what you want to learn from the colleges at the College Fair next week -- it will be a wonderful opportunity to find schools that you would be comfortable at.

Keep thinking.
