Second semester: The new Challenge

My second semester in 2009 was especially different, and complicated to deal with. I had new and harder classes like anatomy, biochemistry, and histology, which were never studied by me before. It was different because the classes I had first semester were more familiar with some of the things I had seen in high school the year before, but of course, more difficult than what I was expecting.

I had a "special problem" with biochemistry because I didn't pass the class :(, so I had to retake it in my summer period. It was something I didn't want to do at all, but I thought it was going to be a good idea, so I didn't have to wait till second semester of 2010, and delay other classes. By the end of October, I was already exhausted. I wanted vacation really bad! I felt like I had to rush for every class, and it made me feel quite stressed to know that I wasn't going to have enough time to study. :/

One activity I really liked was going to Folcklor and dance. It made me release tension, and since I was in Folcklor in high school as well, I loved attending there.

Besides that, I really missed my family, and I wanted them to be with me. I wanted to be able to see my mom when I got home after college, or just hang out with her over the weekend. In December, I was happy to know that I, at least, was going to see them for Christmas and New Year's. Holidays gave me more motivation to keep studying biochemistry, which I successfully completed by the end of January.

Even though, I had to experience new, challenging, and difficult things in my second semester, I can say that my friends in college, and my family (far away) were always there for me to make me smile, cheer me up, or just laugh at something silly. In the end, that's what fills our hearts for the most part =)
