Turning in my paper

I just turned in my first major paper of the year.  Actually it`s the first major paper of my college career.  I`m not really nervous about it but I do hope I get a good grade and can move on to the next.  In high school writing papers was so awful to me.  I could do it but I hated every minute of it.  In college, though, it`s really not that bad in fact I have grown to enjoy it actually.  I get to pick my own topics to write about, if I need any help or extra ideas, I just go to the writing center and they sit down and talk about my paper and what I can do to improve it.  The University really does care about it`s students.  There is help for anyone who needs it.  This really helps someone like me.  In high school, everything was so easy and everything fit into my little world.  However, when I came to college, it rocked my world.  My bubble was popped and I didn`t like one bit.  Now that I`ve gotten used to it though I rather enjoy being somewhat independent, making my own decisions.  It makes the rewards of doing well that much sweeter.  However, I do miss home. I miss my and my friends and my parents.  I really miss grandparents but I talk to them every once in while so it`s not that bad.  At least my family is really good about coming to football games, so I can see them on weekends every few weeks.
