I'm at MFWI as an Extension student now. My studying and living here compared with last semester are the same but I certainly have different emotions now.
First of all, I feel more relief now at MFWI. Last semester when I arrived here, everything around me was new and I was both worried and excited. However, when I came back here about two weeks ago, it was just like after a long vacation. I lived here for four months before, so I know where Commons is, where classrooms are, most teachers and Advisors. Also, I already know the rules to have a comfortable life with my group members in the dormitory. Life and scenery of MFWI are not new for me and I don't have to remember all of the things about MFWI again, so I don't feel anxious.
Next, I have a higher motivation. Of course, I also had it last semester. However Extension is special. There are motivated students, we will have a big presentation and we are studying here longer than other students from other departments. We are one seventh of the English department students. Last semester I wanted to know everything about America and enjoy American life, but now I want to study hard and improve my English. I want to test the limits of my ability.
Last, I have a greater group unity. Not only each group but also all Extension students cooperate. I can't get enough sleep because I have a ton of homework every day. However, all Extension students are in the same situation. When we are tired, we cheer and help each other. This semester will be harder than last semester, so I'll be able to feel how important my friends are.
It is a wonder that I have different emotion in spite of living at the same place. All of these new emotions will support me for this semester.
