Procrastinating, as usual.

Today was another lazy day, mostly because I was up so late last night. I slept in this morning, and then Melisa came over for lunch. Nothing out of the ordinary. I had class from 2-4. I have really been enjoying class, so I'm a little sad that I don't have class more often. Today, we went over motives for behaviours (notice the British spelling!). But motives doesn't actually refer to motives in the normal context--motives in the health psychology sense refer to goals (like life goals, etc). I found the lecture really interesting, and I'm glad that I am taking this class. Melisa's classes seem like they are really easy, and she doesn't even want to attend class at all. And really, if it's stuff you already know, going to class seems pointless.

I realized today that I've been here for three weeks already. I wouldn't say that the time has flown by, but it has gone by much faster than I expected. Despite having those occassional bouts of homesickness, I've been having a really good time. It's only when I run out of things to do that I don't enjoy myself. But now that I've found the gym, and have been studying for the GRE, as well as researching grad schools, I've almost been feeling busy! I think I am going to start on my one assignment for my psych class, and I might start working on my first sociology paper. Neither is due for a while, but I do want them to be done really well. The only problem is actually getting to work. In Ripon, I'm always so busy that I just do what I need to do right away, in order to maybe have free time. But here, I know I will always have time, so I keep procrastinating. I've got a couple to-do lists that I haven't been paying any attention to! I will soon, I promise, but I am also trying to enjoy the slower pace. My life here is much more laid-back, and I'm trying to enjoy it while I can!
