Unpacking
Unpacking from a 6 week long break is a daunting task, but one that must be done before classes on Monday begin.
Going to the bookstore
Going to the bookstore during syllabus week is like going to the grocery store in the middle of a snow storm. Grab the essentials and get out as fast as you can.
Trying to find your class
Even though you might think you're a veteran of the campus, a new building always seems to present itself every semester.
Going to the gym
First week of the semester means overcrowded gyms, especially after the new year. Then once you find the building you have to find the room inside the building and that's the hardest part, no doubt.
Trying to go to bed at a reasonable hour
It's hard to go to sleep before 12:00 when you're used to going to bed around 1:00 or 2:00 every night. It's even harder when you're trying to adjust to all of the noises the dorm has to offer.
Wanting to go out but...
Some say syllabus week is the perfect time to experiment and go out every night. I, on the other hand, have never experienced that luxury. Both syllabus weeks I've experienced have come with hours of homework every night.
Having to set an alarm
Sunday means the first time setting an alarm in a very long time for many people, and it's not pleasant. I miss waking up at 10:00 every day.
