Truth: I played the trumpet in fourth grade.
The semester so far is BORING. I’m at that point where you just start to think “screw it, I just won’t do this one essay or assignment.” Slowly one assignment turns into three or four and next thing I know I’m not even going to class anymore. In the past semester this was the reason why I failed English R101 the first time. This semester I’m trying to change that.
It’s not that it’s getting hard, it’s just that laziness is setting in. However it’s not all bad. I like the fact my classes are in the afternoon. It’s a change compared to high school having to go everyday early in the morning. Another thing I like about this semester is that I only come to school twice a week so it doesn’t feel like I’m always in class. I do happen to like a specific class that gives no homework. You just show up for lecture and show up for the tests. It’s simple and I never have to stress about if anything was due.
What I don’t like about this semester is the school part. School means homework and essays and tests. I’ve never been fond of school work that takes time since I lose interest very easily if it’s not entertaining. What I also don’t like is that this semester I started working so it means less free time. The little free time I do have, I have to spend doing homework (or at least should be doing homework).
My motivation is not wanting to fail classes. If I fail I’ll just have to retake it later and the fail doesn’t help my GPA. Since I haven’t figured out what I want to do I figured I’d get general education out of the way in the meantime. Hopefully this semester will be different from my others and I’ll pass all the classes I’m taking.
