Spring 2015
My second semester at CSUMB proved to be a difficult one. In this semester I was faced with many challenges both in my academic and personal life. I took five classes and volunteered to be a Teacher 's Aid for another class. My classes were held Monday through Friday with earliest starting at 10 am and the latest at 6 pm. After my last class finished at 8 pm, I would go to the library to study and help some of exchange friends with their studies until library closed at midnight. I would then have to commute almost a hour home. Saturday and Sundays I worked a part time job in my hometown, work usually consumed most of my weekend. I had kept this scheduled up the entire semester and it was mentally and physically difficult for me. I had fallen sick a few times because of it most likely. It only became tougher during the finally weeks of school. The work load increased and I am left with "fond" memories of sleeping in library and my car in between classes and papers.
