First week of classes!

I can't believe how fast time goes by. I feel like I just arrived to Wartburg College yesterday, but now my first week of classes is over and I want to share some of the impressions that I had during this first week of college and the IS 101 class.

What I like the most from Wartburg College so far is that people in general, is gentle. Also I like all the facilities that Wartburg offers to develop many skills on you. I think that the campus is beautiful and that there are many things to do and get involved, so is hard to get bored here.

Coming from a different country, one of the main challenges for me is not being timid, because every time I want to talk to someone, I am concerned about my language and my English speaking skills. However I am trying to do my best, so this should not be an obstacle for me to meet people and not participate in classes. I know that at the beginning I will make some mistakes, but I have to create learning from those mistakes and I am sure that in a little time I will be very confident speaking English. 

I like the IS101 class, it makes me feel relaxed, because my other courses are Maths, Biology and English and they all require a lot of writting and a lot of concentration, but IS101 has been more about sharing our feelings about college and is really helping me in the adaptation process to the Wartburg system, which is something completely new for me. I think Professor Wright is nice. The last class when we started watching Jurassic Park, she brought some snacks for us. At the beginning I was not very happy with the idea of the blog, but now I think that it may become a good opportunity to practice my writing skills and also the make some  about what is happening to me and what we are learning in classes.

 During the last class when we were watching Jurassic Park, I felt kind of embarrassed and angry when the characters of the movie appeared in Costa Rica, because the place that they were showing was not San José, Costa Rica. Probably they were on the beach, but there are not beaches in San José. But the movie is smart and interesting and I am enjoying it.

To conclude, I hope that this experience will be something that will make me grow in many aspects of my life and then all this learning will help to be a good professional and an integral person.
