Whoo!

So far, as to my college experience, I would say that I have had a strongly mediocre time at college. Of course, there are the fun times to be had at college, but I think they are strongly outweighed by the work that I have to do. I'm certainly not going to call myself stupid, but It is really hard sometimes living up to the caliber of intelligence of other people here in engineering. I don't really know sometimes whether I will be able to pull through the curriculum that I am about to face after this semester and I don't know whether switching majors would help at all, and if I do choose to switch majors, I have no clue as to what I can switch to. I believe that the only reasons that I got into U of I engineering are because I live so close by (30 minutes away), and because I got lucky on my ACT. Everyone in iFoundry talks about how they are in Calc 3, Physics 212, and other advanced classes. I am currently enrolled in Phys 100, Calc 1, ECE 110, and Chem 102. A much more modest schedule than most others here and I am having a rough time with it. I came in with no AP credit except for Rhet 105, and I am still unsure sexactly as to what Electrical Engineering is in the first place. I think I am just going to stick it through at least the first year, but we will see how second semester goes. I can maybe keep A's for this semester seeing as how easy my schedule is, but once real classes actually start up, I don't know how it will be. Right now, my main goal is to make it to senior year to take Professor Haken's Electronic Music Synthesis class. That means a lot of ECE classes and muisc theory. I am going to pile music theory on top of ece 190, phys 211, and calc 231 next semester. Maybe I'll live.
