I passed all my finals. The only class I was stressing about was my Physics class. Since the beginning that has been the only class that had me worried, and I thought for sure I was going to fail it. But I didn't! I feel really proud of myself for ending up with a B-. My other courses were graded as P (Pass) or NP (No Credit) and I received all Pass grades.

The hardest part about finals at my college is that we only had three days to review. So all those three days was spent with my eyes glued to a book and my hand writing nonstop ! So when the finals came I was exhausted. But at the end of the day it is all worth it. Anyways my finals are over and I'm happy that I got decent grades.

My schedule for Sophomore year (Fall) won't be decided until mid-August. That is when online registration will happen. I heard that 2nd year Architecture is much different than all other years, primarily because it has a studio course (like I had 1st semester), along with a series of Arch 201 courses. These courses tend to be more history and theory based. So I'm pretty sure I'll have a couple classes which cover more classic architecture with focus on the theories behind them. It should be interesting!

I've already started working at the construction job - Monday was my first day. I've only been at it for 4 days and it's already pretty overwhelming. I have been having the worst anxiety - not sure why this is so different this time for me. The funny thing is, last summer I worked a construction job, too. The difference being I worked for my brother-in-law, and he was the best boss. I am feeling pretty freaking crazy!! I'm normally an outgoing person but I struggle with change a great amount.

Taking a deep breath and reminding myself that "this is a summer job" , has actually been what has gotten me through the past couple of days. The pay is awesome, so that's also a big plus.

From those who have been through this, what I really want to know (or need to know for my own sanity) is how long this feeling last?

In two weeks, my friends and I, will be traveling to The Cave of the Mounds and House on the Rock - two Wisconsin historical sites, which I've never been to before. I'm really excited to see them! I'll definitely post about it. I am planning on taking pictures of the cave formations and also several photos of the House on the Rock, an architectural oddity!
