              My current semester is going by smoothly and somewhat difficult at times. At the moment I am enrolled in English 101, Math 14, and Geology Lab. Each class has its easy and difficult point throughout the semester. In my math class some chapters are easier than other. While in my geology class, we are approaching our midterm in two weeks. The midterm consist of naming over thirty different rock types and minerals which is a little intimidating. My Geology class is three to four hours long at times which some students tend to doze off in such long classes. My Geology professor teaches the class in a more interesting entertaining way that makes the class seem shorter than it actually is. We are currently spending all class period studying for our midterm as it approaches in a few weeks.  As for my math class, we just took our first test and I got an 85 percent on and I have been turning in all my homework so I have a good grade so far. In my English in the other hand I tend to wait until the last minute to do an essay which is a bad habit to get into. Sometimes I know I can make the essay longer and better but the time does not permit me. I will try to spend more time and really write my essay a few days before it is due to not get stressed out a night before. What motivates me is the paycheck at the end of the tunnel. The fact of waking up and having a stable well paid career is what motivates me every day to keep going and not give up in my education. “Those who give up don’t succeed, those who succeed don’t give up.”
