12、 like school until I walked into Geology on Tuesday morning.

13、ized I cant just watch movies and eat ice cream for the next four years. Buying textbooks before the class was its own problem really, if a book is used, shouldnt it be dirt cheap, not just a fraction less expensive than the new version? but being in a room filled with strangers, most not nave first

14、 years like me, was quite frightening.,Part AText,In high school, the first day was one of my favorites. Sure, I hated knowing I had a year of work ahead of me, but I loved seeing old friends, catching up on summer gossip. Here, I sat down and immediately started taking notes. What part of this lect

So now I have four separate syllabuses from my classes, all confirming that I will be pile

16、d down with reading and papers for the next few months. Not only is it overwhelming, but its making me feel hopeless to even consider joining clubs or having a little social life in college while keeping up with work. Sure, I worked hard for the last four years. But that was nothing.,Part AText,What

17、 really scares me is I just dont know what to expect. One professor told me to call him by his first name, but Ive heard that another thinks “Hi Professor _” in an email is too informal.

18、k its a nuisance. How am I supposed to know what is expected from me?,Part AText,From new subject matter to new academic expectations to new professors, I am overwhelmed.

19、And I cant help but partly wish I were back at camp, not college. (448 words),Part AText,大一新生体验：大学并非夏令营 大学的第一周仿佛是夏令营，但第二周就回归现实。一个多星期以前到校的时候，我根本没想过在一眨眼的功夫就完成从游玩到学习的转变。,Part AText Translation,我们学校有一周的入学教育，因此我根本没有上大学的感觉，直到周二早上走进地质课课堂。在那之前，我和其他新生们一直在看电影，逛校园真正地瞎逛。另外，我们还去餐厅品尝各种混合花样的冰激凌。,Part AText Transla

20、tion,从进教室的那一刻起我就意识到，接下来的四年我不能总看电影、吃冰激凌。上课前买教材就成了问题。真的，用过的书应该很便宜呀，怎么能只比新书便宜一点呢？而更让我恐惧的是一屋子陌生的面孔，且大多不是我这样傻乎乎的新生。,Part AText Translation,在高中的时候，我最喜欢开学第一天。一想到等着我的是一年的学习确实很烦人，但我喜欢见到老朋友，跟他们一起说长道短，闲聊暑假见闻。而在大学，一坐下来就得开始记笔记，还要想着“这堂课哪些要点得记下来？坐我旁边的是谁？我是否可以举手问问题？”,Part AText Translation,接下来就是可怕的课程大纲了，我之前从没用过。现在我

21、有四份不同的课程大纲，但都确切地告诉我接下来几个月要读大堆的书，要写大量的论文。这不只是令人备感压力，简直让人绝望，要在学习上不掉队，就别想加入课外俱乐部或者参加哪怕一丁点儿社交活动。过去四年我学习已经够努力了，但跟这比，那都不值一提。,Part AText Translation,真正令我害怕的是我不知道怎么理解别人的意图。有个教授要我直呼其名，但又有教授告诉我在邮件里称“嗨，某某教授”太随便了，不够正式。学长们告诉我有些教授希望学生在他们办公时间拜访他们，而有些教授则讨厌那样。那我怎么知道别人想我怎样做呢？,Part AText Translation,面对这些新的课程内容、新的学业要求及

29、cheap second-hand textbooks for this course. Note: College students in some countries have to buy textbooks, often second-handed ones, on their own.
