Stop Making Sense

What's on: "Long Line of Cars"- Cake


I was hoping that I would make a post after China, but somehow it didn't happen. (Not surprisingly...) It's been a week since college had started. I was looking forward to moving in but not so much the 7:30 classes every morning. Having already experienced 6 days of classes, I can't say leaning feels too different from HS. College is a lot more effort though: getting to classes, time management, strict policies, keeping track of homework, etc. Even eating is hard. Tthe food is good, but the wait/line, at dinners especially, is a real discouragement for eating. Nonetheless, the college life has been decent thus far. The days still feel longer even though most of my classes end at 12:20. Everyday seems like the weekend, except not. I guess since I don't have parents to keep me from going out during the weekdays, I lose attention span doing homework fairly quick. Although I have gone out for most of the nights during the past week, mostly to hang out with friends still have yet to leave for colleges that are not Purdue. I have been able to mingle academic works at the same time. I'm not sure if finishing assignments the day before it's due is a good idea, but it has worked out well thus far. For my 1st weekend, I was also fortunate enough to experience the typical college weekend, maybe not quite playing the normal role .

Today I hung out with Anna since she will be leaving for Wisconsin tomorrow. She treated me to a Loveshack meal that she had promised a while back as part of my birthday present. Ian tagged along, and we went back to his dorm afterwards to kill some time before disc golf. Like most guys’ dorm rooms, his was the same dark, dirty, and unorganized place he called home with awkwardly placed furnitures/appliances. We played old school Mortal Combat for a while before meeting up with Sam and Govind outside. It has been cloudy/drizzling all day, and Govind seemed rather concerned about rain for reasons I dd not know. Luckily, it did not start pouring while we were out there, and we managed to play through 9-holes and skipping a few losing-discs-here-will-suck holes.
I got back to my dorm around 9 and have been doing random interneting and partially working on writing assignments. (I do note they are not due tomorrow) I'm glad I took the time to post even though I've had my share of writing for the day. I suppose I'll continue documenting my college life and perhaps laugh upon it someday.
