At the beginning of the first bridge meeting, I thought I was just going to a regular old boring summer program where you just sit in a classroom, pay attention, and try and get through the whole four weeks. When they gave us a schedule of the program, I began to look through it and I noticed that we had a great amount of class time, break time, and we even had field trips! I was pretty excited! The first day of bridge was pretty chill. I got my classroom and had time to get a mini breakfast before class. Throughout the day my expectations changed when we had lectures and even a discussion class. I had no idea we had a discussion class, but it was my favorite part. We got to learn about each other and about Colleen. I like her! She seems very helpful. I'm pretty confident about the Bridge program. I feel like English is my strongest subject, although I’d like to get the hang of writing big papers, which can be a drag. Also I’d like to get into the hang of writing my papers in a timely manner. I am a huge procrastinator and I would hate to be this way in college. I know if I get into the hang of it now, I’ll be so ready in the fall; which is my plan. I am using this program as a sort of practice and also learning experience to get into the hang of Columbia's curriculum as well.
