Galileo/Homework

So as some of you may know, I am a part of the Galileo living program here at Virginia Tech and I want to talk about that for a few minutes. I want to say how little of a life I am able to have because of all the homework and stuff we have to do in this program. Plus on top of that I have so much homework in all my other classes that it is just kind of overwhelming. I am trying to balance both my academic and social life. It is a lot harder than I thought it would be. The previous weekend I sat around and did a lot of homework, and I didn’t really go out much. I felt very anti-social. So this past weekend I decided to go out and have fun and see people and hang out with people and see the football game and just relax. And do you want to know where that got me? Well it got me here, stuck in my room on a Sunday afternoon doing nothing but homework basically all day. I went to 10 am mass, went to get a quick bite to eat with the friends I went to mass with, and got back to my room about 12. I have been in my room since doing homework. And will be long after this is posted because I still need to finish up my English paper, Galileo homework, engineering homework, and calculus homework. Like I said, I am so far behind now for having a decent social life this weekend. Ugh, why does college have to be like this? Why cant we just take classes a little at a time and do well in them? Oh, right, because life isn’t like that. Life is always busy and we will always be running around with too many things to do. I guess I will push through it now and get on with life so that maybe later in life I will have time to sit around and relax more.
