The "Real World'

Ok so today my english proffesor said, 'This is not like comp 164, in 164 they hold you by the hand, but in this class i will work you hard." I just kept on staring at her...and I was afraid of english for the first time. Well not really the first, but just in the way she portrayed it. I also found out that we were to have one speech in the class...great...but at the same time maybe that will help me practice to speak in public. Still, i dislike. She said, "This is the real World now..." And when she said that, I realized how much of a cliche that is. The Real World. This is the Real World. High school was really so easy, i still cannot comprehend why anybody will make a d or a c...i mean, they practically spoon feed ya...am i right? Well, I made so many bad grades, and i still do not have an excuse. I admit to the fact that I was lazy, and really did not care...i still managed to do well, but that was just because i was thinking of college...now that i am here...it's not if i do care or not, it's the fact that I NEED to pass, i need to make good grades for the sake of my family. At first i did not want to take my english teacher, but when i met her today I realized that i need a wake up calling. So this will probably be one of the many hard english classes I am going to have to go through...But for some odd reason I am motivated; indeed i am.
