again

i’m not even close to in the zone. i can’t get into school-mode. part of it is my surroundings; i don’t have my own space in this apartment. my computer is in the living room and i’m sharing a room with essentially two people, joel and his girlfriend. makes it hard to feel like i’m in school, and that makes it hard to actually get studying done. i’ve never been able to go out to a library or something to study. when i study, i want to be in my room, listening to my music…and left alone. this is particularly true for when i’m writing a paper. i just can’t do it when i’m surrounded by people. this all adds up to a very, very slow start to the semester, one which i may not be able to salvage satisfactorily. i’m thinking of dropping all but a couple of classes. perhaps i can gradually get myself back into a school-mode by next semester.
