Second Introduction (Rinaldho)
Wow, it’s been a seriously long time since I’ve posted, and so much has happened that I feel like I need to re-introduce myself…
I don’t know if it’s lack of motivation or just the fact that I have no time, I have found that my work ethic for uni has changed so drastically from the first few weeks. I’m skipping imortant tutes, my reading schedules have become messed up, I’m surprised when I find out I have assignments due, and it seems like my room reflects this point so well… At the beginning of semester, everything had its place, and everything was good and organised, but as I look around, I just see clothes everywhere, my desk is a mess, and I have leaves and dirt on my carpet floor… Attractive? of course
Another thing, college is awesome! I know I’ve said this so many times in my posts, but if you are planning on going to uni next year, I would recommend that you get yourself into one of the residential colleges… You’ll thank me next year
Also, I have found that tutes have become a lot more informal and more fun now that we have gotten to know each other, and I find that I’m actually looking forward to going to some of my tutes, which is not what I had expected coming into uni
Well, I know I haven’t written for a while, but I have to leave it at that, but I shall try and write more often… Sorry I couldn’t add any more wit or humour into this post, like I’m sure my other fellow bloggers do, but I have just woken up early on a saturday morning to work on a group project, which is quite stressful… Oh yea, that’s another thing I wanted to mention: Group Projects… I was always looking forward to them, until I actually got one, and even though I’m working with friends of mine, it’s just so stressful and so inefficient sometimes, ugh… Sorry I went on a tangent in my conclusion, but just needed to say THAT little bit more…
P.S. How cool is Iron Man 2? I mean really…
College sounds intimidating to me, because everyone seems to say all college people do is drink. But then again that’s all the non-college people speaking (perhaps they’re just jealous?)
“Sorry I couldn’t add any more wit or humour into this post.” Nothing more refreshing than a good sharp, sincere post. 🙂
I agree. College can be intimidating at first but then you do find people you really connect with and make lifelong friends here.. (I am saying as a second year at college!)
The perception of college life is mostly all about drinking. This is not completely true.. A lot of social activites do revolve around drinking.. But there are heaps of other things you can do and be part of at college. For starters there NO pressure on drinking you can find heaps of college kids who don’t drink and are completely happy with their stay here. College is a social place. There is a real sense of community and belonging. Its perfect for transistion between school and uni life.. I really wish this external perception of Colleges would change.
P.S.- Do read Cara’s post about colleges. Very true.
