Weekly Asian Post, Vol. 108
It's incredible to think that tomorrow is the first day of Spring. It seems like just yesterday when I was getting ready to leave my house and come back to UVA, only to receive the suspension letter. It's not that my parents are being really annoying about that anymore; they've done a good job of settling back down and letting it go. I'm living an incredible life right now, as two weeks ago I experienced one of the most amazing weeks of my life, and all I've been doing this semester is going to work and hanging out. There's motivation inside to do more, and as often as I keep telling myself to contact so and so about so and so activity, I never seem to remember to do it. Ironically, I'll probably forget after I finish posting this entry. Nonetheless, as time passes, I grow slightly more worried each day that what I'm doing with myself will prove nothing to the "committee" about my preparedness to come back to school. Frankly, I believe that this kind of living is very constructive for me. Although it's possible that I will do worse in school once I get back, because of how much I enjoyed not going to school, I think what will really happen is this: The last two semesters of school I've had, I showed poor attendance to certain classes, and I was basically trying to take a break when I couldn't. Now, I'm actually taking a break, and watching all of my housemates going to and from class has been motivating for me. My housemates are very strong students, and they are a good example of the habits I need to develop when I become a student again. So while I feel like this "off" period has been constructive for me, I guess I won't really know until the time comes.
In other news, I'm visiting home this weekend for the first time in a while. I've seen my parents every week, as they go up to Washington D.C. every Monday now, and always make a stop when they pass me by. One of the biggest worries I have is something I shouldn't really worry about, but I kind of am: boredom. Other than the pool table and the giant TV, there are almost no forms of entertainment existent in my house currently. All of my video games are at school and are going to stay there, as I'm only leaving for the weekend. Regardless, it's really hard for me to even think about a day or two of boredom. I guess I just need to suck it up and deal with it.
Well, I guess I should get back to work. My "big project" for the next couple of weeks is to hit every computer in Alumni Hall and install a Microsoft Office conversion agent that allows Office 2007 documents to be read by Office 2003 users. More info than you needed, I know, but I'm just pointing out how monotonous this sounds. I guess the thought of getting to visit with everyone here is nice. Anyway, time to get going, so have a good one, and let me know if you're in the Burg this weekend!
