Frazzled Freshman

So, I know it's been a while... again. But I mean, I just had my first week of school. Not to mention my first weekend after my first week of school. So, how's school been? Busybusybusy, I must say. I've gotten up to 6 classes, but recently started questioning one of the classes I'm enrolled in. Like, I took the class in high school and am beginning to wonder if I have to really take it again... Is it necessary?
Anyways, school's been a blast. I mean, I haven't had the best time health-wise, but experience-wise, I am really enjoying the school and atmosphere and the people. The course-work seems fairly easy, except for chemistry... Chemistry is going to be a toughie. I'm hoping that I can get help from my peers throughout the year (although I also hope that I figure out how to do the work on my own as well). I mean, a lot of people are taking chemistry. I like the subject, but right now, it just isn't working out for me. I'm getting stuck on some parts, and that's a bit stressful, but I suppose I'll learn to deal with it.
So this also actually brings me to the part where it's only been a week of school. To me, it seems like it's been forever. Well, not forever, but a while. I think of all the people I've met and all the things that have been happening. Things happen quick. Of course they do, but it's all been a blur - quick. Maybe that's why it's been hard for me to concentrate and to be motivated to do work or even just write in this here blog (well, not to mention that I have to have three other blogs for a class - though, those blogs are more... opaque at this moment (and I apologize if I misused that word, but I cannot find a good word to express what I'm thinking - story of my life, right?).
Just recently, I've gotten my tuition bill. I'm not sure how to go about that. Are my parents going to pay for it? Am I expected to pay for it? Is the school going to kick me out if we can't afford the payments? What is going to happen? Well, I'm fairly stressed about that, but a friend of mine has been trying to calm me down by teaching me to take things one at a time (because I have a bunch of other issues in my mind as well). So, as this week goes on, how am I going to deal with my whole tuition fiasco? I suppose I shall also take the advice of other students and talk to the student aid office and whatnot. Also, I should take things one at a time, and also focus on my actual course work and assignments, like this film I'm supposed to be watching tomorrow (or rather later today/tonight).
There's a bunch a bunch of other things on my mind as well. Like what? Well, aside from the whole financial issue, I've got my health to think about. I just recently bought medical insurance (student medical insurance) thanks to my dad. (Bless him!). I was all worried about how much it would cost if I had to go to the emergency room again. So, whenever I get my insurance card/ID thing, I can go get check-ups whenever I want. Not to mention, I can join the clubs that I've been interested in (since most of them seem to be asking for some sort of insurance, in case). Then, aside from those two issues, I've also got my own mind to worry about. Apparently, I think too much, if y'all hadn't noticed. What a shocker, right? So, I'm thinking of checking up on that some time soon, since, I mean, I should try to be in my right mind, right?
Anyways, I suppose I should head off to bed now. I'm guessing I am going to be trying to update this blog weekly or so. There's just so much to say and so little time (well, I actually seem to have a lot of time and no motivation really, so we'll see how this goes).
Good night to all, or good morning, or evening, or afternoon. Until next time!
