I just keep telling myself

that it's all worth it in the end.

Exam week. Hell week.

I had my microeconomics exam on Friday at noon and my Western Civ final tonight at 7:30. Econ went ok, I think, but the history was just a failure. Not an F, but most likely a B. Because my exam was so late in the day, I decided to devote the entire day to cramming in order to use the preceding days to work on my Executive Regional Summary Analysis, study econ, and write my French research paper, but today was just not productive. I left the library at 5 in the morning after finishing my French paper, crashed, then came back at 2 to study for history. I was exhausted. I had to leave at 5 and come back to the dorm to take a nap because I was falling asleep in the library. I mean, I think the exam went ok, but it was just not my best effort. I left the library at 7 in the morning on Wednesday. I don't spend the entire time studying whenever I am there all night; I just stay because I don't want to walk back by myself at four in the morning.

Tomorrow I will be studying physics and political science. I e-mailed my French paper to Dr. Kouidis after I finished it this morning for him to proofread it, but I doubt that he will send it back before Monday. My last day to turn it in is Tuesday. I'm not too worried about it or my political science exam. My physics will be telling however. 

I really should get to bed now. I am still tired, and I have a lot to study tomorrow.

I'm ready for home :(

First Entry

And so it begins; I have finally broken down and become a blogger. I am undecided on if this is something I will keep up, but no harm in trying. I honestly do not expect anyone to read this. Maybe I will share it with Mama and Daddy so that they can keep up with me...not like I do not already call Mama at least once a week.

A little about me: My name is Rachel Williams, and I am an undergrad at College of Charleston in South Carolina, double majoring in French and International Business with a (tentatively planned) minor in Economics. I am originally from Auburn, Alabama (WAR EAGLE!) where I graduated from Lee-Scott Academy, a small private school. Hmm...I'm never quite sure what to put in About Me fields. Let's see.. I am an equestrian, but I took this first year at school off. Not riding is slowly crushing my soul, to be honest. This fall I hope to join the school's equestrian team. I feel confident that I will make it, but if I do not, I hope to find some way to bring Merlin up here and continue riding. 

I promise I do have other interests than horses, but that was pretty much my life for a good 11 years. This first year at college has been a bit of a "finding myself" period; I am not sure if the person I am right now is whom I want to be. I have gotten more comfortable with myself, but it was difficult earlier in the school year.

I am not sure of what else to add.
