Day Five:

Homework. 

It has officially started. Homework. We're past the fluffy syllabi and introductions. This is real college now. I think I spent two and a half hours on my first math assignment, bearing lots of question marks, crossed out equations, and "I don't know how to set this up"s. Frustrating. Homework in college isn't a joke...unfortunately. 

I've also started embarking on my English homework, which I don't mind at all. I've enjoyed the book and poems we've been reading and analyzing and it's been a breeze. The only problem I've had thus far is a confusion about my latest assignment. It's too late to email my teacher, so I have a choice: wing it or don't do it. Of course, I'm going to do it...but it's frustrating. 

A great resource I've been able to use is our hall's study lounge, which is just an isolated room with a table, chairs, and a window, that is available to any students in our hall at any time, day or night. I used it today for the first time, and it was wonderful. I turned the air down and put my math stuff all over the table. It was a great space to be able to use and just get away from the cramped-ness of my room and little desk. 

Yay college.
