College: Round 2

I've wanted to write a blog post for a while but I don't know if I have the strength or focus to keep this up. In a couple of hours, I will have been back at school for one complete week. Coming back to school wasn't as dramatic as it was last year. I said goodbye to less friends, and moved into the exact same room. I'm sleeping in the exact same bed with the exact same sheets. It's nice, because I'm falling asleep in a familiar place, which means I'm falling asleep faster.

Sleep is very important here.

I'm so exhausted right now, for no real particular reason. Today was the first day of class, but I only have one 9am math discussion today (which I might not go to most weeks...). I spent the day running around South Campus looking for my classes, buying things and picking up my books at Ackerman, and watching television on my laptop through a handy tv tuner I picked up at Best Buy the other day. I also went to the gym, and then later to Westwood with Amanda and Jessye.

I'm sorry for the laundry list of what I did today, but my mind isn't the most inspiring at the moment. It's only the first day and I'm exhausted. Truth be told, I'm glad that classes are starting. The last couple weeks of summer were a weird sort of limbo, and this last week of pseudo-summer was a weirder kind of limbo. I'm back at school, with my school friends, but we're not doing anything. I've been waking up with no purpose to the day, which is liberating but also kind of boring. My days have had no structure, and I'm anxious to get back into a routine.

This quarter should be a good one. I'm taking Linear Algebra, Introduction to Digital Systems, Software Lab, and Shakespeare. I'm also auditioning for a capella this quarter. I'm trying to be optimistic, but a capella groups and competitive, and there aren't many open slots. I'm only signed up for two auditions, though I may want to sign up for more if I want a better chance and getting in somewhere. This is a large, large school, and many people can sing. The auditions are next week, and I'll let you know how it goes.

Now's about the time to settle down and let myself get sleepy before stretching out in my extra long twin bed and dreaming of college plans yet to come.
