So everything is starting to settle down. Works is more systematic. Friend groups are pretty much established. People sort of have a plan for their day and know when they are doing what.
It seemed before the wonders of college were right in your face. At the beginning everything is always new and exciting. But I guess that is how a new environment is supposed to be. You get swept up in it. Now since things have calmed down, I have to pursue things to find those wonders.
Now I'm not talking about big things at all. Like yesterday I decided instead of working on my Comm assignment I went to Clemons Media Room and watch TV on the flat screen. Today I went into student health to get some bandages and saw that there was a full hospital at UVA. Just stuff I haven't noted before are wonders.
Too much to explore but so little time. No, not so little time, no motivation. Maybe I should make some trials and actually do them. For example, one week I have to go solely on Meal Exchange. I can't eat at the dining hall, only have to know when I can get food from the local eating places using my meal swipes. Another is using the bus only for a week.
Why would think to torture myself like this? Because I will not learn any other way. Knowing when I can get food from somewhere other than a dining hall or knowing if I'm going to be late I can catch this bus to go to that place is important. But at the moment I never need to know this knowledge so I don't care to learn it. Only if I force myself will I actually learn.
Back to (not) writing my essay.
