School's about to start

The night before class begins always gets me feeling anxious. While I can tell myself it is good to start back, get back into a grove, be productive; I know doing so is nothing I really look forward to doing.

I do school because of what I get out of it. Not for its own sake. Don't get me wrong, I love education and learning. I would much rather have a way of learning that was a bit less stressful though. I do this sort of thing though because of what I will get out of it. So in order for me to get ready for school here is a list of what I plan on getting out of this semester:

-A clear focus on my Honors thesis. By the time May is here I will have read at least a dozen more books and have a sense of what connects all of these stray thoughts that I have with the rest of what is cool

-One major down. I will be done with both Spanish and Political Science classes. w00t... (word of last year)

-More economic ideas. I am taking to economics classes that will hopefully be better than the class I had last semester. I don't want to feel like going to BBA will cause my brain to melt this semester.

-The proof I am not a lazy person. I feel now more than ever that I am often lazy and spend too much time just doing things to enjoy myself (sloth and gluttony). 21 hours should do that...


While I am sure there are more things I want from this semester these are the biggest ones. Now I can only sit back and enjoy the whiteness of my to do board before it is filled with lists of books to read, papers to write, and anything else that is going to come up this semester.
