Looking back on my first semester in college and LHSP, so much has happened that I had no idea was coming. I thought I was ready to handle anything college could throw at me, since I went to boarding school for six years (and I've went to sleep-away camp and studied abroad a few times). I knew that I could handle missing my family and my home, but getting used to a new environment has its challenges every time, no matter how prepared you are, because every new environment has different people. As I've learned this semester at Michigan, every environment is composed of different classes and activities, and has a unique spirit, and that's what will make it important to you, and eventually make it your home. I like to say sometimes that I don't get nervous, I just have "logical concerns". This is mostly due to fact that I really only actually get nervous doing something for the very first time, so unless you see me doing something new, it seems like I don't get nervous. I definitely was nervous starting this semester, but am excited to start next semester with only a few "logical concerns". At the same time, I can't wait to push myself to try even more new things during my experience at Michigan.
