So it's been awhile since I updated everyone on my life. First and foremost, I. LOVE. UVA. I am now convinced that things didn't work out with Georgetown for a reason. I was mean't to go to UVA and I'm so glad I did. On that note, college is no walk in the park. I have never struggled in any math and science classes ever (I'm not trying to toot my own horn, I am just telling you the facts), but this week I had multiple tests: one in math, one in chemistry, and one in demonology, accompanied by a 6-8 page philosophy paper. Let me tell you that my strong suits seem to have completely changed. I have always been good at math and science and just decent at english and history. Now it is the complete opposite, I SUCK at math and chemistry, but I'm doing well in demonology and philosophy. So that has been frustrating. On top of all that, I am most likely going to switch into the engineering school which is going to add onto the amount of work i am going to be doing. Uva is definitely extremely stressful and it sucks not having the people in the class who aren't as smart as you. Everyone is either at your level or smarter and everything is a competition. As long as you are getting better grades than everyone else than you are fine, but if you aren't, good luck.
Don't get me wrong though, college is a hell of a lot of fun. I have no idea why i was ever so nervous about making friends and about worrying that everyone at Uva would be stuck up and annoying. Pretty much everyone on my hall is so much fun and I'm so glad we are all living together. Speaking of living, my roommate is interesting. Don't get me wrong, I like her a lot and we are compatible living mates for the most part. However, I hate sleeping when the room is hot so I like to keep the window open, but she apparently gets cold really easily (she will be wearing sweats and a jacket in like 70 degree weather), so whenever I leave the room she always closes the window and it gets really hot and muggy in the room. But that is really my only major complaint about her. We are definitely not good friends and we probably never will be, but we are good living mates.
I haven't really joined any clubs except for LaxLite which is a pick up lacrosse clubs within the university, but I haven't had a chance to go yet because my workload the past few weeks has been astronomical.
Anyways, it is now fall break and it couldn't have come at a better time. I never got homesick per say but I am definitely glad to be back.
I thinks that's all for now,
carpe diem
