Happy Wednesday! If you’re already overwhelmed by the number of classes you’ve shopped so far, take some solace in the fact that this week is already halfway over! As you’re waiting for the weekend to come, here are some questions on your mind that you’ve probably thought of lately:
1) How many more times am I going to be asked about my summer? Alternatively, how many more times am I going to be sitting in silent envy as I listen to yet another person’s amazingly inspirational summer spent abroad in a beautiful country?
2) Why am I allowing myself to fall asleep during my first lecture of the semester, and yet all I did until 3 a.m. last night was Facebook stalk my friends from home?
3) Why did yesterday’s awful downpours only occur when I stepped out of a building?
