Another year has finally begun, and I must admit, it feels good to be back on campus. To be honest, I used to just want the high GPA, learning new things didn't really intrigue me anymore, but somehow, taking that one summer course changed everything. Maybe it was just the right course that really got me interested, or that the prof was actually engaging. Looking back, I didn't learn as much as I could have if I had put more effort into trying. Sure, I "got" the marks, but I always tried to take the easy way out, and I guess sometimes we do have to do that, to be pragmatic because we're all managing full course loads while trying to maintain somewhat of a social life, but sometimes we just give ourselves excuses. Excuses not to go to class (guilty as charged), excuses not to pay attention in lecture, to not do readings, to stay out late and miss your morning classes: any or all of the above. I assure you that most, if not all of those are going to be repeated this year, but I mean, I'll try to lessen the frequency of offending the above.
Well, going to my first class now!
Here's to a great year of (actually) learning, partying, and lots of gts.
Much love.
