quick post
Ah, LJ is back! I probably checked about 100 times since it went down - soo sad to realize how much I'm addicted! :)
Anyways I haven't gotten around to updating because I was so jet-lagged. Bleh..the flight over was good (I lucked out once AGAIN and had no one sitting next to me on the flight over! The 10 hours was MUCH more bearable because of this)..I think I've finally set my sleep pattern straight though (I was sleeping during the day and awake during the night for a couple days; it was HORRIBLE) and just in time too - because tomorrow is the start of term! *mild enthusiasm*
I can't bring myself to care really, although I have a few goals for the term..perhaps if I post them I will feel obligated to stick with them.
1) Read ahead. That's what I was doing all today actually, and I think it will help me understand things better, which leads to #2..
2) PAY ATTENTION IN LECTURE. For the love of God, I think I only really listened 25% of the time last term. I realize that this is an incredible waste of time and that it only makes me have to read the stuff on my own later, so I might as well pay attention the first time. But the lecturers are So..Boring..*sniff*
3) Start assignments in advance (i.e. not the day before they're due). Maybe this way I will actually have questions to contribute during the practical sessions and in study groups.
Okay that's it..I know if I do more than 3 goals I'll start forgetting what they were anyway, and that would just defeat the whole purpose, wouldn't it?!!
Ahh well, we'll see how it goes. Off to clean my room (haven't really unpacked yet, oops) then bedtime.
