Any college student out there reading this blog knows exactly what this entry is about. Right now, I am supposed to be studying for an upcoming Chemistry exam. Instead, I created this blog; partly out of a desire to have a place to openly voice my opinion and ideas, but realistically as an excuse to keep me from doing the work I need to do at the moment.
I honestly don't know how I'm going to make it in Med School (if I even make it there at all). I have the worst study habits in the world, thanks to my wonderful High School education, which did nothing to prepare its students for college life. Not once did a teacher ever give a lecture on how to study and the importance of setting apart time in your day to devote to school work. Growing up, it was all about how fast I could get my homework done in order to go play video games. Now, in an academic environment where homework is pretty much non-existent, I can just jump straight into those video games (figuratively speaking) after class without any immediate repercussions. The repercussions always come though, believe me. They're hitting me as we speak.
It's about the fourth week of school here at my new University and I am so far behind in my Chem class that it would be a Christmas miracle if I scored double digits on this first exam. That's pretty much my fault, though. I hate Chemistry with every fiber of my being and use that as an excuse for not putting the correct amount of effort into it. I can't wait until my Chem requirements are done and I can focus on classes revolving around Biology.
Which reminds me, I am also ridiculously behind on my classes for graduation. It looks like I'll be a fifth year senior before I graduate. Hell, if I follow my heart and grab a double major in English, I may even be a sixth year senior. I shudder at the mere thought.
I don't think I would mind staying here an extra few years though. I like the people that I've met so far, and it wouldn't be too horrible to stay with them an extra year or so. No, I don't think it will be that bad at all.
Oh, speaking of cool people; Katie kicked off the third season of her radio show, Honk Your Horn with Katie Horn, tonight! I just got done listening to it. Good job Katie, you were awesome! I promise I'll call in and request something next week!
I guess I'll end this post and get back to finding new and inventive ways to not do my school work. As always, leave comments. Knowing someone has read this makes me want to write more.
