Day 36: I actually am learning something from my economics textbook.

I've been able to tell from day one that this semester is going to require a way more disciplined work ethic than the one I kept up in the fall. The amount of homework I've had even just during syllabus week... I know I'm capable of getting everything done, but I also know I wasn't prepared to be spending this much time locked away in my room with a pile of textbooks and newspapers.

However, as my econ textbook continues to ramble on about trade-offs, it proves to be very relevant to my current situation... I feel like my life now strictly consists of the choice between keeping up with classes, a social life, and sleep.

Or this, which I've seen on Tumblr more times than I can count:

It's actually kind of cruel, the way that my first semester lulled me into a false sense of security...

Lesson learned: I actually am learning something from my economics textbook.

Also, I just realized that I accidentally recycled one of the newspapers I need to use to write my J2100 paper that's due on Tuesday, and to be able to view the stories from that issue online I have to pay for a subscription. But it's not like that makes me want to pull all my hair out or anything. Really, it's fine...
