Troy's Journal

April 28, 2008

Well, as my freshmen year comes to a close, I feel much better at my chance of survival in the college atmosphere. I enjoyed every minute of it and will continue in the fall. The classes and my classmates have been an interesting opportunity for me and given me some insight into the youth of the coming generation, I hope! I've grown to understand that learning has no age limit. and With a little determination and hard work anything can accomplished. There are no words to thank the individuals who provided this opportunity for me. Next to my children and grandchildren it has been the most positive thing I ever accomplished in my life Thank you again

Sincerely

Troy Machin

My first two days have come and gone in the blink of an eye. I had forgotten how fast pace school is, tons of information in a very short hour. I wonder if I will be able to absorb all of it as fast as the instructors would like, but I'm still determined to try; head down running (hopefully there won't be a wall in the way) and home work, oh yea! I didn't get a chance to forget about that. Have some in every class. The instructors I have had seem to be very good at what they do and willing to help, giving out numbers, email and rooms where and when they are available after class hours. I can't imagine the amount of time they put in, but I get the feeling when I'm looking at them, that behind their eyes they are saying to themselves ( Troy what were you thinking ! )

Well must go for now, my wife Deanna said if I don't get my home work done, I won't get to go to the football game Friday night. I saw Laura at a distance in the Beem Center while I was working on my intro to writers workbench hopefully it's going well for her too.
