Study Days

Yesterday was a great day to be alive. After waking up pleasantly to the sound of cartoons (I was able to catch up on a few of my favorite ones as well as a new series) I packed up some stuff and went to get my haircut. I love it now; it is finally cut low again. However I am disappointed that none of my friends said, “Tristan I think you should get a haircut”. They told me afterwards and said, “Oh I was wondering about that”. But it’s all good because at least they said something.

After that I went to the library to study diligently again. This time I rewrote my notes in multiple colors. This proved to be helpful because it allowed me to link themes together from the syllabus with the lecture notes and to the video as well. Then I went ahead and read the four articles that the professor suggested we read (actually required that we read). One was hard to understand so I read it thrice; once I got around the complicating vocabulary (I felt it was unnecessary for it made me lose focus of the paper) it was simple to figure out what the man was saying. I summarized each paragraph of the papers so that I could gain a faster and clearer understanding if I wanted to read them again (or rather because of the test on Monday, I needed to write down what each paragraph said so that I can get more understanding). I spent five hours yesterday doing this and was tired.

The day then went on as usual, with me volunteering at the cinemas again. I did get to see a few friends. And that’s that!
