The Comeback

Don't be fooled by the smile; college is terrible ;)

One month of college has passed me by. My hair has grown long. My spirit, at times, has been defeated.

But now, on this otherwise unremarkable Monday evening-- the last day of September-- I am triumphant, having been through my first round of exams and lived to recount the tale.

On that note, let's not go into detail. My focus and diligence has wavered over these past few weeks. My eyes have been bigger than my stomach; I am still reeling at the amount of commitments I've made. Studying was not only seldom, it was inefficient. I often reviewed the wrong material or used a terrible technique in lieu of my usual methods.

I've been affected greatly by peer pressure: I have succumbed to taking notes on my laptop, just like almost all of my classmates. Whereas in high school, laptops are largely not allowed, they are the status quo in college classrooms. Only now am I starting to get a handle on my study methods.

As mentioned before, this blog will be transitioning into largely picture-based posts. I'd love to prattle on about my every activity, but let's face it, we both have better things to do.

With a post tonight focusing on the activities that coalesce around the Olin Library, the largest on campus, the transition will be complete.

NOTE: the link takes you to WordPress, which will be hosting my blog in the future. I hate the format of Blogger and I've hosted several WordPress blogs in the past, so I'm more used to it. More on the transition soon.

Also, still expect wordy posts in the future. It simply isn't healthy to walk around with as many thoughts as I do without letting them out somehow.
