It's amazing what only a few days can do to you. 48 hours, 2,880 minutes, 172,800 seconds. I was so optimistic in my last post. Now this time next week I'll be headed home for spring break. But let's see how much this school can break my spirit first. As if it's not difficult enough to be stuck here on an average day, it's even worse when it rains. It's cold, everything is drenched, and do not think this is a clean rain. Instead when it rains it traps car exhaust in the mist, the sewers stink, and the streets run with foamy, gray water.
My first midterm yesterday did not go well, despite studying for 4 days prior. Nor did the essay I just got handed back today. A seemingly simple assignment. And as for spring break, it's not truly a break. I have just about as much homework to do over break as I do in a normal week, if not more. If my university gets its reputation from trying to crush the life out of their students, then I can see why it holds its accolades. I wish though, as if I felt any of this knowledge is actually going to be applicable in the real world. But as of right now, I feel as if it is not. Many of my classes are repetitive, and for the love of God when am I going to need to know the difference between Intergovernmental and Intragovernmental? I thought I wanted to work in International Relations. Be able to travel and get paid for it, foster agreements and such. But I do believe that I was incorrect. There are so many other ways to travel and get paid, and with such cooler jobs than my major can get me.
But alas, now I must go and compose an essay for the intro core class of my major! I've only put it off till the day before it's due at noon.
Always be sure the decisions that you are making are truly for yourselves.
Peace,
Elina
