                                   I went to MW at the beginning of my
                            junior year. I had  gone to  MN  for my  fresh-
                            man  and  sophomore years, but  during  the
                            summer I decided to  transfer to  MW  for  a
                            change  and  for  the  opportunity to  go  to  a
                            brand  new  school.  "My  first  day  at  MW  I  was  really
                            nervous. I only knew a couple of people there and I had no
                            idea how to  find  my  way around the school."
                                   After about three weeks of trying to get adjusted,
                            I decided that I really  disliked MW and  got the  chance to
                            transfer back to MN . I am really happy to be backatMN and                   H-ow      did you feel
                            to  be  back in  school with  my  friends.
