Sixty-two miles; Jinki/Taemin; PG-13 note: Update! Spurred on by finding new readers. :') When I planned out this part inside my head, things were most definitely not in this order...
Oh hi :D Haha, by the time I finish this story, I wonder how many times will you have had to reread stuff. But alas, it's to be expected when I can't update as frequently as I would like. I blame school for slowing me down from almost daily updates (back during summer) to my current pace of...once or twice a month. :(
Yes, university. (You?) It's a constant battle between the need to study and the desire to procrastinate. I could get away with far more procrastination back in high school. Now? Now I have to me smarter about it lest it bites into my GPA. Idk, school also seems to make me less inspired of a writer, so sometimes, even when I have a moment to sit down and write, I don't get anything done. ;A;
Well it's probably not as hard as I'm making it sound, so long as you have some time management skills. What with us being procrastinators, cutting back on the procrastination is the hard part. xD; Not to discourage you about university though, because as they say, it's probably gonna be the best years of your life! Are you in IB or something like it? (Or if you don't know what IB is, then nvm lol.)
I'm a cell bio major, so for the most part, it's a lot of things you can't see with your naked eye. And a lot of funky acronyms and geeky science jokes that only people who've taken that particular class will get. :') What are you thinking of going into?
Haha well high school + uni curriculum = IB in my mind. They tried marketing the idea to us back in junior high, but I stuck with normal high school. Quite a few friends of mine did IB though. :) And yeah, having self discipline is important for uni -- especially if you leave home -- because freedom means good habits deteriorate and bad habits get worse. You know, study habits, going-to-class habits, sleeping habits...yeah......
Well, you still have time to get a feel for things. And freshman year courses are pretty similar for science kids of all streams anyway. I'm a junior -- saying it makes me feel old. ;A; What year of high school are you? (Just so my feeling of oldness will be reaffirmed by the number of years we have between us. ...I want an occasion to feel young again. Orz)
I've always wondered how much more intense really is the IB curriculum compared to a normal high school with a strong academic program, how it compares with AP courses, and whether or not it's actually useful later on. My IB friends have only ever pointed out how they can technically graduate a year early...which so happens that none of them wants to do, lol
( ... )
Oh that reminds me, I did hear one more thing from people who did uni curriculum in high school. They say they don't cover it to the same extent/depth as uni, so although their credits let them skip forward, they doubt the solidity of their foundations sometimes. But idk, otherwise we're all in the same boat of uni-sucking-our-life-away...jks lol. I'm not trying to make uni sound like a bad place ;___

I have a pretty good sense of direction so I've never had problems in the finding-my-way department, but don't worry, just scout out your lecture halls ahead of time. Before long, your feet will be leading the way instead of your eyes and brain. That's what settling down into routine does to you. Classes are usually 1 to 1.5 hours long, labs quite a bit longer. I tend to check the time 45 minutes in, which so happens to be the length of an average human's attention span. xD
( ... )
I have problems maintaining the same degree of focus throughout when I have back-to-back 1.5 hr lectures. It makes me wonder how I survived high school... lol checking every ten minutes. xD But there must be a class that you enjoy enough to not be checking the clock for right
