I thought I was going to get blown over
So the weather online today said it was going to be windy, but I didn’t think it would be that bad. But I swear, a couple times when I lifted my feet to walk, I thought my legs weren’t going to land back on the ground. I had to go up some stairs outside to this one building, and they’re these metal stairs that the wind can blow through, and I was holding the metal rail really tight. I couldn’t walk very fast either when the wind was coming at me. And my hair went everywhere when my hood was blown off. It actually didn’t rain too much but the wind was psycho. From the looks of the weather lately, I don’t know if we’ll ever get to row on the river. So that was the exciting part of my day.
Yesterday, I had lectures and none of the meals looked good so I ate in my room for both meals. Tuna sandwich for lunch and cereal with banana and peanut butter toast for dinner. Pretty good. I read the econ that I was supposed to read, but it gave me no help in the questions that our tutor assigned us. He told us to use this one book, but I’m going to have to get another one. It might have given me help on one of the questions. I don’t think I’m going to like this new tutor. The questions he gave us, of which there are a ton (4 topics, each with at least 5 questions, most of which are at least 2 or 3 parts), seem like they won’t help us at all when it comes to the exams. Simon gave us at least two old exam questions whenever we had questions so we got a feel for it. This guy gave us just like short answer questions that you would get out of the back of a book, it seems like. But there are a whole lot of them. Oh well, maybe it will be okay.
This morning, I woke up around 7. I’ve been trying to get up at 6 to do work because I felt like that’s what I did last term, but I don’t think I actually did for the first part of the term I realized. I think I only did that when I got into my weird habit of falling asleep right after dinner, so I think I’m going to go a little easier on myself and sleep in a little more. As long as I get some work done during the day. Which I haven’t done a whole lot, but I’ve also had a lot of lectures and already turned in an essay and had a tutorial by Tuesday. So I’m trying to give myself a break. Somehow I’ve gotten this reputation that I’m a really hard worker over here. At Georgetown, I was the lazy one who never studied compared to Melissa and Christi. Now I’m the psycho one who studies all the time.
