Am I On The Right Course?

[wantonhalo]

So I've been living in California and studying at Berkeley for a little over two months now. And recently, a lot of things have really made me question my attendance here. Basically, my academic performance in classes so far is decidedly lackluster. This is due mainly to laziness/procrastination. I am actually trying pretty hard to improve on this

Thanks for the shout-out :-).

I have too much to say for a mere comment, most of it about being a math major. Will email you this weekend (feel free to nudge me if I forget). In the meantime, hang in there; adjusting to college life is hard enough without worrying about academics.

I also did poorly in high school because I couldn't deal with the narrowness of the high school system, which seemed to be geared completely toward the end goal of grades. I chose my college (University of Rochester) because of the combination of no core requirements and lots of financial aid, and I ended up really enjoying it and being reasonably successful

Interesting post. I think in a way, trying to figure out what your priorities in life are is of major importance. Having a lot of interests is great but it's also very tough to do a lot in one specific field

Let's talk on Skype soon - I understand a lot of how you're feeling, except that I'm in Year 4 =)
