College has started, and it's alright for the most part. Generally, I haven't learnt much yet, seeing that it's only the first week of school. My bike tire was popped on the first day by someone or something. It's also really hard to get to know people on a genuine, personal level. Additionally, I never run into any of my good or close friends, so that's kind of frustrating. However, the honors program has quite a handful of people I know, so I am grateful for that. It is so comforting and relieving to see old friends or classmates in this new of school of mine.
The accounting teacher is kind of intimidating, to be honest - but he definitely knows what he's doing and teaching. There are so many Asians in my accounting class. Thankfully, I have an old friend in this class so I don't feel too alone.
Buying textbooks has just been a nightmare, but I don't want to record anything about that, so I won't.
One thing I have seemed to forget about college is that in the real world, for the most part, people are passionate about what they're pursuing. In this literature class I have signed up for, everyone in this class is very excited about the material, and have the most mind-blowing analyses of texts. I just took this class for "mere enjoyment", so I truly feel extremely unintelligent and inferior compared to everyone else. All my classmates in this class are all some kind of English major. This one girl is actually majoring in Linguistics, so now I'm interested in that and have been researching that subject for a few days, except I'm having a bit of problem doing so since there are countless fields of linguistics that people can go into.
My economics class has been very boring so far. I have one friend in this class and have made a new one - both who are Monta Vista seniors.
My Calculus class is huge. The teacher is pretty good as well. I don't really feel like getting to know anyone in this class because it's so ginormous, and we only meet twice a week anyways.
I feel like in college I will learn a lot about life more than anything else. Already, professors are advising us to pursue things that interest or excite us, and not run after things solely for money, or else our lives will be miserable. And no one wants to roam around thinking about money all day. There's obviously more to life than something as material as money.
It's so easy to get absorbed in the real world, I've realized - mentally, physically, and emotionally. The only way not to fall into any of its traps, for me anyways, is to abide in God.
I also haven't been playing music for a while. Strangely, my motivation to play music comes mostly at night. But generally speaking, my passion for playing music is usually very unstable. Listening to it, though, is a different story.
I also haven't had much time to read anymore.
