Fall Semester 2021!

Hello Concord family,

I hope everyone has been doing well. I can’t believe that August is already almost over! I’ve been so busy and occupied that I didn’t even noticed time was going by so fast. I still can’t find myself being a third year student yet. Maybe it’s because I didn’t get to fully experince my second year before Covid hit.With that being said, school has started and I am into my second week of the semester.

First week of the semester was pretty hectic. I had to find courses that weren’t filled, also courses that doesn’t collide with each other. I originally registered a credit course that involves learning ball games and tactics, but ended up dropping it. During the first week we are allowed to witdrawl up until the deadline given. I dropped the course because it just didn’t interest me enough to stay. I replace the course with a Anthropology course which is also a class I needed and worked perfectly with my schedule. Currently I’m taking a evening course which gets very tiring and hard to stay awake sometimes. After figuring out my schedule, classes and stuff, I was able to settle down. I’m hoping this semester will go well.

On campus everything is back to normal except having to wear masks and keeping a distance. It’s been going well during the second week of school. Slowly adjusting to school again after online class for so long. Alot of events are back to normal, so is our homecoming week. So far this week, I attended and met alot of new people at one of the general meeting for a student organization club. Surprisingly there were more people who attended this year compared to last year! It was great seeing new faces and old faces. Just recently I got recruited to be a board memeber for a student organization club. I got refered by a friend who think I’ll be a great person to be part of the team. That’s exciting!

I’m excited to what this week brings. Classes are finally starting where were no longer doing introductions or ice breakers. I hope to manage my time well and be more successful this school year. I will keep you guys updated, so please take care and remember to keep yourself safe and healthy. Until next time!
