Overall, university life is treating me very well. I've never made this many friends in such a short period of time, and I'm thoroughly enjoying hanging out whenever, wherever. Last week and the week before, we watched the Lord of the Rings (extended edition, of course) over a series of evenings. Watching them with people other than my parents was great; we all understand what's going on, we love the series, so we all laugh and joke about different parts in the movies. I think, if someone listened in on our running commentary, they'd be laughing their pants off. Now, I have a group of people who like to watch movies, so we will be watching many more in the future!Today I came upon my first big snag. My first university test. In calculus 3, no less! I thought I was prepared... but about halfway through the test, I realized I wasn't. I did my best to start working on all of the problems, but I left many unfinished. After a brief freak-out in my room, I talked with some people, got my mind on other things, and managed to de-stress. That's the other great thing about so many good friends around; you can talk to almost anyone and feel better.

Don't worry too much about it. In university the marks are almost always scaled up before contributing to your final grade.
ReplyDeleteI also really like the social aspect of university: in a couple of weeks I'll be attending my first LAN party (provided I find some way of transporting my computer)
