Argh, class
Argh, I have class in 5 1/2 hours, and I just finished reading the book for tomorrow morning. And to think, this was going to be my go to bed early and study night. Guess not. Stupid people keep calling and wanting to hang out.

man...do it now brother. I messed around all in the beginning of my college career, and now, after I got myself a full time job, I have to take my classes at night. I don't even know why I pay rent. I'm in my apartment from 10pm til 5am and that's only because I'm sleeping. I'm going to wind up with an undergraduate degree after 7 years of college. Believe me, save yourself the grief. I wouldn't wish being 24 and having math homework on my worst enemy.

All the above is the very reason I dropped out of Engineering.
Buckle down, forget the world and make sure you understand every little bit of it.
A tip the Doc gave me inre: sleeping. (trying to work, maintain a houshold and go to school was killing me)
He said "read Louie LaMour books when you lay down to sleep.
It worked by Golly. Not at first, but within a week or so, I'd pick up that book and get sleepy.

Alright, I made it! It was tough, but I dragged myself out of bed, grabbed my laptop, and headed to class 15 minutes before it started. Ended up finally getting back to my room around 2:30am. On the way back to pick up my buddy, a friend of mine and I swung by the freshman girls dorm, and talked to this chick that was standing outside. If only I was an hour earlier, she would have gone to the party with us, but I did get her digits, and she told me to call her for next time. I don't know if it was my amazing charm, or the mustang. I'm just gonna pretend that its my charm. lol

I think the hardest thing to learn is how to manage your time. I did both in college- played hard, and stayed on the deans list- but the time blocks that were for studying had to be used without interruption. I also was (and still am) a night-owl... and I speed read, which helped a lot (English Major).
