<p>I would’ve gone tonight, but I had a physics test to study for, and I can’t let my grades slip this early on. Hopefully I can do it tomorrow, though. I didn’t get a chance to talk to anyone, and I didn’t go to lunch, so today wasn’t exactly a pinnacle of success, but it wasn’t that bad, either.</p>
<p>I’ll probably run to the bookstore this weekend and buy the books I absolutely have to have, for the sake of academics. I wish I could switch so I’d have a roommate, but circumstances prevent it. The thing about the honors program, though, is that we don’t really accomplish anything–it’s just an excuse to treat kids who did well in high school like royalty. I don’t like the idea of going on these day trips to theme parks and the like, especially since I know I’ll just be wandering around by myself. I would much rather drop it for another, more academic class, but then I actually end up looking worse because I’m no longer an honors kid. Kind of a lose-lose situation, so I guess I’ll just stick with it because the reputation will help if I try to transfer.</p>
<p>A term off may end up being what I decide to do for the spring–either that or a small study abroad group. It would be sort of a mini fresh start, and my family never had the opportunity to travel when I was growing up, so I’d like to take advantage of that.</p>
<p>Thanks again for all your advice, everyone–I’ll keep you posted! Don’t worry on my behalf, though–things usually work themselves in my case.</p>
