confidence

What is my level of confidence? Outside of my school work, I would say pretty good, but if your talking about in school, then I would have to say no. When I was in high school, it was completely different because I had too much confidence. I had the perfect grades, I had a good relationship with all of my teachers, and I got accepted to all of the Universities I applied to. When I first arrived at Texas Lutheran University, I had all the confidence in the world that I was going to have great grades, and great relationships with my teachers. Now that I have been here for about a month, my confidence is at an all time low.  I have been getting steady B's in my FREX class, struggling horribly with math, and I have not managed my time well. I mean it is 11:36 on Sunday night and this blog is due at 12:00. When I start off m y day I am not excited nor do I feel confident about the classes ahead. Their are definitely some changes that I need to make, so I can feel ore confident in my school work and in myself.
What should I tell myself in the morning when I first get up? I think it would be beneficial to tell myself that I belong to be at Texas Lutheran University and that I am capable of doing the class work I am assigned. I need to tell myself that I will love class and that I will enjoy every minute of it. I also need to explain to myself that I can do anything I want, if I set my mind to it and to manage my time better. What should I stop telling myself in the morning when I first get up? I need to stop telling myself that I don't belong at Texas Lutheran University and that I am not smart enough. The most important change is that I need to feel capable of doing my classwork and that I have all the potential in the world. It has been such a change from me to go from be super duper confident to having absolutely none. It is only in the class room where I feel inadequate and that needs to stop. I want o feel confident in school and want to feel excited about the day ahead. Tomorrow when I wake up, I shall say," You got accepted at Texas Lutheran University, because you are capable of achieving greatness."
