Ø List your own quote, favorite saying, song, or other expression of your feelings today.
My ultimate favorite song is wonderwall by oasis. I just feel like that song just has such a powerful message of true love behind it and it makes me happy whenever things are bad. I also like the quote live everyday to the fullest. I feel like not doing that is crazy because you never know when it will be your last day soo you should live everyday as though it could be your last that way you have no regrets
Ø Now that you made it to NMU – why are you here?
I am here because they have my major, Radiography. I was looking at Ferris State as well, and upon visiting both campus' i hated Ferris thought it was too small and loved Northerns. Also Northerns Radiography program is better than Ferris which was another huge perk. I really feel like i made the right choice i love it up here.
Ø How did you choose this school?
I chose this school by looking up schools that offered the Radiography program I wanted. I then narrowed it down to Northern and Ferris and was able to make my decision upon visiting both campuses, Northern's is way better than Ferris's soo i'm here. Also because i love winter, and how much more winter can you get than here
Ø List initial observations of your new environment.
It totally different from home. Its got beautiful views everywhere you look, and it's got soo many activites to do outside which i really enjoy. Also the dorms are a lot louder than my house ever is at home, also a lot hotter than my house is too. Overall though i like my new environment its pretty and i like the change.
Ø List initial observations of your classes.
I like most all of my classes, except math because the teacher can't teach. I was initially afraid of chemistry because the teacher is chinese and has a strong accent, but I have gotten used to her accent. I know that anatomy will be hard, and a lot of work, but I am excited for the challenge.
Ø What observations have you made about other students?
I have noticed that other students are very outdorsy, and love to skateboard and ride bikes. I have also noticed that there is all different types of people everyone is different but I like meeting people different than myself.
Ø About your instructors?
Most of my instructors are a lot different than my teachers in high school. You can tell they really know there stuff. I am not used to having instructors that have accents that make it hard to understand them, however I have quickly adjusted to that and it no longer bothers me. I can hardly notice it anymore.
Ø What do you think will be your biggest challenge(s) academically this semester?
Passing math because the teacher doesn't really teach that well. I have formed a study group which has helped soo since then its gotten easier, we help eachother understand the material. I am also worried about anatomy because its all memorization, but it will be a lot of studying and hard work, which will all pay off in the end.
Ø Finally, name one goal (personal, academic, etc..) you have for yourself next week.
To make sure not to put my homework off all week and to do it throughout the week, so I don't have soo much to do during the week.

You've come to the right place for winter, ha ha!
That's wonderful you've already formed a study group for Math. Sometimes you will luck out and get great Profs, sometimes, not so much and you just have to learn to roll with it and adapt, which you seem to be doing.
Most students are saying Anatomy is their hardest class so again, I'd do that coloring book so you have a cushion of extra credit to fall back on.
Welcome to the U.P.!
10/10 (A+)
Definitely don't slack on that homework...once you start slackin' it's really hard to stop.
