Back to a life of classes and not sleeping-in everyday. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, I love being at school, but the one thing I miss is an over-abundance of sleep!<\/p>\n<p>After this first week back at school, I&#8217;m still trying to readjust to my schedule. Not to mention that my schedule is now altered a bit. My \u00a0first class of the day may start an hour later, at 9:30, but in my head\u00a0that&#8217;s\u00a0an excuse for staying up one hour later&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Another adjustment to being back at school? Homework. But that&#8217;s quite obvious. Over break I led a life of leisure; I&#8217;d get up when I felt like it, lounge about in sweats all day, eat out more than I should, watch movie after movie, and in simple terms, just be lazy. Being back at Iowa I have to wake up to my alarm, eat dorm food, walk everywhere, and stay on top of my homework. After being away for a month its a slight shock to my system. But now that I&#8217;m back, I&#8217;m trying to dive back in full force and start this semester off on a good note. I&#8217;m trying new note-taking techniques, I&#8217;ve organized the files in my computer into different folders, and I&#8217;m taking my time looking for cheaper books instead of just going straight to the bookstore.<\/p>\n<p>Goal for this semester? Slow down a bit, take my time, and be more organized in all aspects of my life here at Iowa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The days of winter break and lounging about at home are over.
