College: Week 8??

So far, my sophomore year of college is going smooth. I’m getting decent grades… if you don’t count that one exam I took a few days agos. Actually, I took another exam this morning that might bring my grade down a bit in another class. You know what, let’s just say that I do indeed have grades, but that’s all that they are. Grades. They aren’t good or bad, they’re just grades, plain and simple.

It’s week eight (unless it’s not because I’m guessing at this point) and I’m getting pretty exhausted on a daily basis.  I feel like all I do is go to class, eat in the mediocre dining hall, and write articles. The writing part is my fault because I signed up for this when I declared myself a journalism major, but writers need breaks too. Is it wrong to slow everything down for a hot sec?

I want a home cooked meal, I want to be in my own comfy bed that doesn’t dip drastically in the middle, and I want a hug from my mother gosh darn it.  My main problem is that the dining hall food is really starting to take its toll on me, in a bad way. I’ve noticed over the past few weeks that when I eat a dessert from the dining hall, like a peanut butter cookie, things don’t go well for me afterward.

How are my classes going? That’s a good question. Sure, I attend every class, but do I actively listen and pay attention all the time? No. Do I take good notes? Eh, it depends on the class and my level of interest. My overall grades are pretty good, but when you take a history midterm that’s all written and worth 25% of your grade, things can go from 0 to 100 real quick, or 100 to 0 in my case.

The only thing keeping me going is the fact that Halloween will be here soon. I don’t care about dressing up too much, because I’m focused on getting some sweet candy. Of course, I’m not going trick-or-treating, BUT you will find me at the grocery store the day after Halloween stocking up on all the cheap candy.
