MIT: the start
I'm scared.
I've already had 3 days of school. I've already attended 7 different courses. I've already completed my first GIS exercise, and read multiple articles for several classes. But that doesn't change the fact that, right now, I'm scared. I've spent the past 24ish hours procrastinating and coming up with many excuses to not start working for reals. I've watched five episodes of Gossip Girl, because I know soon, even thinking about watching one episode won't be an option. I've gotten organized by making a spreadsheet of major assignments and their corresponding due dates, as well as a document of this week's readings, econ problem sets, and written assignments. I even attended a yoga class at 8 this morning, and proceeded to dutifully add other promising weekly exercise options to my Gcal, because otherwise the cold weather and heavy work load will turn me into a soft, unhappy potato.
Basically, I've done everything I can do--except for start really doing my work. I have no choice now! And even though the articles look interesting, and the writing assignments unchallenging, I'm still scared. Because once I do this, MIT has really started. And that intimidates me.
