Return to Easier Times (or is it)

Fall semester for 2008 has ended, and now I'm back home in NYC. After an uneventful semester with poor performances across several subjects, academic and otherwise, I looked forward to coming home once again. Although I realize my priorities may not be completely straight, I would still much rather hang out with my friends than do anything else.
Now with this one month vacation, I can do many things to prepare for what's coming next. Spring semester is only 4 weeks away, and considering the amount of things I have to do, and the extra things I want to do, that really isn't a lot of time. These 4 weeks must be spent wisely improving my self. Of course, I will continue to write in this blog, in an attempt to better my writing skills. I think that being able to write well is a measure of intelligence, though not by any means the only measure of intelligence. I also feel that being able to write well means that you will be able to see the world in a different manner, and you'll be able to get further in life than you would otherwise. Also, I just want to be able to get my thoughts down. I often cannot manage to write down everything I'm currently thinking of, and then I forget the rest, which makes me sad. I think being able to express yourself in a wonderful thing, and to be able to do it eloquently is even better.
Looking at my Spring schedule, there are some things that I will need to review, and some things that I might need to start learning on my own now to be able to better grasp the material once classes begin.
I don't mind that I'm doing work over a vacation. I've already wasted plenty of time and rested well enough during the school year.
I do look forward to having fun with everyone over this vacation and our last month together before 2009.
