Days Are Gone, These Days

And I got back up.

Another day of University.

This was no ordinary day.

Things have changed, a new year, a new brand new course.

I can reflect on previous failures and use it to improve this year for the good.

This year I am free. Free to do what I want.

But I feel like I have trapped myself in a course I'm not sure I am one-hundred-percent into. I have to learn to grow into the routine of doing things that I will not always be into completely. Not force myself, but make myself want to do it.

Crashing and burning is not an option, or I will be out of this routine forever.

One foot in front of the other.

Walk the walk.

Overcome the obstacles

I have chosen this path, and this what I want to do.

I must listen to the words I tell myself.

In all seriousness, time for class.

A bit sore from the walk up, but I think it's a bit more than that. Too many half-court Basketball shots, and epic dives in Ultimate Frisbee on previous days leading up to this Monday morning might not have been the brightest idea. More excuses to not do anything yet I'm here, the door to Kirk Lecture Theatre 301, about to make a move inside.

Boom, I'm not inside, I look around, I keeping looking around, I look around some more, I stop looking around because the lecture theater is actually quite small, and I'm also standing at the door which is at the front of the room where eyes are. To my surprise I find that one edge seat quite quickly. It's in the middle right second from the front. I introduced myself as Van, because that's my name, and the guy I'm sitting next to turns out to be doing the same Major, well that was a 50/50 opportunity to begin with as I found out later but then I thought it was strange.

So I'm sitting there for a while now watching all the staff and lecturers introduce themselves. If I didn't realise it when I walked in then I am definitely noticing it now, where are all the chicks at ? Quite a different crowd, I got so used to a very different lecture room studying Architecture.

I remember when, going to lecture theaters with a larger number, better dressed, a bigger room, about 90 percent of the room with their laptops out, but really there were more girls.

But I guess I just have to accept that those days are well and truly GONE. I'll never get that back.

More of the day is more of the same really.

I did get a new Student ID card though. Now I can finally get a Student card at Event Cinemas for ten dollar movies. Very excited for that.

Found some people from college to hang out with during my 3 hour break.

Candy floss can be eaten by guys, although it isn't that great to begin with. Besides the strange texture it just tastes like sugar.

Hard to have alone time at Kelburn Campus without being seen. Maybe that is a good thing.

Went to the Library. Chilled in silence-ish.

Flicking through the tabs on my browser, Twitter, Facebook, NBA, Youtube, Twitchplaypokemon, Instargram. Essential stuff really.

At the end of the day I was tired.

I just wanted to get home, I considered waiting around for a ride I was offered but I was not keen on waiting another 3 hours. I'd rather put myself through the walk and train ride then go through a probably more tiring wait.

A quick snack at Burger King was needed, something I had been planning to do all day, plus another Foursquare check-in is always a plus side.

I just needed to put my head down and sleep. Although this was never gonna happen on the train ride home.

One of these days I will start to like my current course at University. I was not to enthusiastic from the lecturers after day one but it gets better.

It was time to get home.
