     Here at Charlotte, I have not had the best time adjusting to my new life. Please do not misunderstand me, I do like it here and I know that everything will become second nature once I spend enough time here, but things are getting ridiculous. After a shaky academic start to my day I went to go turn in my immunization records and get a new parking pass for the car I borrowed because my car broke down a couple of hours before I had planned on returning to school Monday. On my way to the parking services building the front brake on my bike locked up and sent me soaring face first into the gravel in front of Colvard and Reese. I spent the next few hours in the student health center getting stitches and a tetanus shot. Honestly it is not a big deal but on top of the luck I have been having it is the icing on the cake, the last nail, syrup on the pancake, whichever you prefer. Since coming here I have realized just how lucky I have been so far in my life. I somehow graduated from one of the top private schools in Virginia and have had many great experiences because of it. I really did not appreciate my school and all of the help they gave until I got here and I am thankful that my parents put forth the effort to send me there even though they had to drive me an hour to get me there every morning. I know that I have had good opportunities and backing with the choices I make and am doing my best to live up to my expectations.
