…180 degrees in one day…
I started today off with only 4 units to my name this semester, and in less than 6 hours, I have more than 20 units now. I’m not quite sure what I’ve gotten myself into, but I signed up for 2 upper division Sociology research seminars. The topics looked really interesting, and I needed the units so I thought, “sure, why not!” I was also able to get into my Chinese 1AY class as well today after I took the test. I think I did fairly well, I just hope that I’ll be able to sustain it for the remainder of this semester. With my newly added Sociology courses, I’ve just filled up all the free time that I had this weekend, and then some…
I’ve some 500 pages to read, 3 research proposals due, and that’s just class work. I’ve still got meetings and what not to deal with, so it looks like my lax schedule just turned into more familiar territory. Ah well, I’m officially a full-time student now, so I guess it’s worth it…
Things have been going well with me despite the harsh start. I’m learning to enjoy myself more: hanging out with my friends, making a real difference again in people’s lives, etc. I’m ready for this semester; I’m ready for Hong Kong!
Time to hit the books…
