Final Semester

Remind me why I decided to live in res again?

Going from basically having my own place (neither Conner nor I were home all that much, and not always at the same time, so it was "my place" a lot of the times) to being back in a dorm is quite the difference. I can't say that I really enjoy living on residence, it's just more convenient. Convenience is about the only reason why I'm here I think. So I guess I can't really complain too much about privacy, noise, food, and whatever else.

Instead of commuting, I can walk across the yard in my flip flops to school. I don't have to cook my meals; though, you could argue I'm better off cooking with the meals they serve here. And, I am more plugged into what's happening in the school. Even though I don't really get too involved with many things, it's nice to keep tabs.

Classes begin on Wednesday. It's going to be a rough term with 8am classes everyday - tough classes too. I'm excited to be done school for the near future. I know I sound like a broken record, but I've been saying that I've been done with school for the last two or three years; and I can finally say that it's coming close to that.

Let's see what I make of this semester. Though I don't mind the schooling too much, it's not something that brings a whole lot of joy. So coming from pretty much the best seven months of my life to something that's rather 'meh' to me, it will be interesting to see how I handle it. At the very least, I want to be pretty dedicated to my studies. All the socializing, getting involved and whatever is going to come more as an after thought to me. Part of the reason I want it being so is because I want to continue developing the good habits and daily routines of my life. I'm not amazing at it, but I was able to get my groove on pretty good in Saskatchewan; and even during my time at home, I was able to feed my soul the way it needed to be fed.

So, for those that have begun classes or have gone back to work, I hope that the first day was a good one. I have a feeling this year will be a huge building block for many of us, and that usually means one thing: you'll get out of 2014 what you put into it. So don't be lazy and don't slack off!

Good luck! (=
