It's funny. I was definitely enrolled in school last semester. I had a full load of classes: Italian 101, Creative Writing, Cross-Cultural Psychology, and Michelangelo. I had assignments, midterms, and finals to take. I got docked points when I missed class; I even got annoyed looks from my professors when I came to class late. So, why is it so hard for me to focus in class these days?

I started classes this past Wednesday, and it has been so difficult for me to sit and pay attention. Before Italy, I never had this problem. I used to go to class and be ready for anything the professor would throw at me. But now, I'm feeling really lazy.

While abroad, I guess class wasn't my first priority. I was more concerned with where Brad and I traveling that weekend. Compared to Wabash, the class work was so much easier and the expectations weren't as stringent. Because of this, I guess I wasn't giving 100%.

Now, its biting me in the butt. My professors are more demanding, and I'm actually trying to demand more from myself. But, like I said, I'm so lazy these days. However, I know I have to snap out of this. My goal is to be initiated into Phi Beta Kappa. 

So, I'm in a transitional period... a Wabash transitional period. I trying to move from being that goofy American student and trying to become a serious student again. It's a pain. I'm asking my self to stay up late and read, write, study demand curves, evaluate psychological theory, and memorize music. There wasn't much of that going on last semester.

But hey, I'm back, and I'm ready to put in the work... I think.
