You can't teach people to be lazy, either they have it or they don't.

Thats my quote of the day. Also all these questions aren't helping my current state of laziness... Jumping right in, the college life is hectic. Trying to balance a full time job and a semester of full credits is rough. But, im ready for it so i shall be fine. The campus is a very nice and easily navigated. I have my classes memorized now which is nice. All my classes suck. They are hard especially college algebra. Numbers are evil things that should be abolished. My teachers are all very nice and knowledgable. Froiland is a teddy bear, he is a very good teacher an presents himself well. My asian chem teacher is impossible to understand and goes through powerpoints far to fast now. Hard to learn with that guy. Kelly simon is a peach ;) very good teacher and very nice and personable. Un100 is probally my easiest class, and also a very very helpful class. Campus is definatly a mixture of a lot of different people. Tons of babes, lots of nice people and I see tons of friends on campus. My obsticales for this semester are deffinatly math and Chem. If i can pass those i think the rest of my school career will be fine. I learned this week in antomy that hair starts its growth in the epidermis, not the dermis like you would think because it mainly resides in the dermis. My first math quiz i bombed but this next one i feel like i aced so that is a good thing so far otherwise i dont stay on campus long. I have a few good habits, im very determined, I listen well, I keep up with my homework(sort of). My bad habits are i read fantasy books instead of my text books and i watch too much tv. it deters me from my homework. I write everything down when i take notes no matter how minor because it could all be important and im going to start highlighting this when the teacher says its important. Sorry, but i havent absorbed anything from the TCB book. That space is occupied by 8 million numbers... A good exerpt from BT is studying in bed is an illusion... it really is, i end up sleeping every time i try. My goal for the week is to relax. thats my goal for every week. You cant do anything that well when your stressed
