The days here at Fairleigh seem longer than those I spend at home and I like it. Usually, I wake up and do a few things and the day is over. Here, I'm doing things left and right and sometimes the line between my days is blurry. If someone asks me what I did yesterday, I will tell them only a fraction of what actually happened, because the rest feels like it happened on another day. I've never been this socially active, although I've never felt like I was lacking in that department.
Although I've adjusted well in the social aspect of college, I think it has brought down the level of motivation for classes and homework that i came with initially. I've become that high school senior that didn't do homework and never cared to pay attention to note taking again. There is one class that I do, however, love and will forever be motivated in. So perhaps that will eventually rub off and spread into the other subjects.
For now, I cannot say that I'm struggling, but I do wish to make some minor changes. Perhaps with a more motivated and peaceful mindset i will finally get out of my writer's block and write creatively once again.

I can't say I had much of a social life in high school, so it's interesting that I should actually have people to hang out with. Oddly enough, talking to people is far more interesting than theories of international relations.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I love talking to people. It seems as though there are many more people in college willing to have intellectual discussions. It keeps my brain active.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're adjusting well. Glad you find yourself busy and with plenty to do. I'm sure you will hit your stride with classes and work, it just takes a while. Great journal!!
