A Few Weeks In...

Well guys, we are on week 4 and that motivation to study is really not there. I don't know if its the fun of seeing everyone, having my boyfriend assisting me in the desire to play before studying, or simply a lack of drive that is preventing me from really buckling down... but for some reason I can't get it going.

That said, we had our first test of the quarter on Friday, and I did just as well as I always do... right around a 86% (after our prof dropped about 10 questions, bringing our grades up by 20%). The test was really hard... the class average before he added the 20% was a 66% and the high grade was an 84%... so it wasn't only hard for me, but also everyone else. The prof for the test is new, and its his first time teaching this subject, so the material and test questions are all new, written just days (or maybe hours?) before we see it in class.

I've been having a blast doing "social secretary" stuff... planning events, making everyone feel welcome, making a point to know all of the 1st year's names. We are going to a Corn Maze on Saturday that is apparently HUGE. 4.5 miles of trails at varying difficulties. It should be fun.

OK... I should get back to studying... have a test tomorrow!

beijos!
