pastwatcherThe prospect of being a junior, two years older than incoming freshmen, the most active class in activities--being an officer in HRSFA, the Noteables, /and/ Uchoir--being forced to start specializing (not to mention grad courses) in math, picking a thesis topic at the end of the year, etc., etc., ...is actually quite frightening. Help!! It seems like this is the most important part of college, except that it seems like that every year, and each year is so different...but help!
That said, I'm coming up to Harvard on Saturday afternoon; I have rehearsal until 4, and probably want to be around my room or a couple of others until after dinner. But just to let people know, I'll be around. Oh, and my mouth looks a little scraped up, but that's just because all of my wisdom teeth are gone.
I should be packing. I really hate packing. I will now pack a bit more, then go into coping mechanisms; I have good ones at the moment, because the Deryni series is good. I'm not even freaked out about getting my hair trimmed tomorrow--must have something to do with the wisdom teeth, or the fact that it is /finally/ long enough to possibly be okay afterwards.
Does anyone have anything to say about how junior year compares with freshman, sophomore and senior years? It was actually the start of quite a /good/ time for me in high school, and not because that's when I started taking /undergrad/ math classes, but that was different.

Date: 2006-09-08 04:11 am (UTC)One nice thing about junior year is that you finally feel like you know the drill. Freshman year, I really had no clue where anything was or how to get things done much of the time, and some of that was true sophomore year, especially with the move to the houses. But by junior year, you have more things to do, but they're not scary or strange any more. Doesn't make it easier, necessarily, but it is a nice change.
