Syllabus week is over and now the real work is beginning. With first semester over, first impressions aren't as important as last semester, especially for the non-freshmen. Now skipping class is a thought that has you going back to the syllabus to see if attendance is part of the grade and trying to make up excuses for not going.

Is it too early to start wearing sweatpants every day?

Because trying to look good isn't worth the effort anymore.

Waking up is so much harder when it is cold outside.

Why would I get out of my warm bed when it is so cold everywhere else?

Where are all the pens that I bought last semester?

How did I lose 23 of the 24 pack I bought in August? I better hold on to the one I have left for as long as I can.

I am going to be really nice to this teacher that didn't like my friends last semester.

Maybe I can get on their good side and be the only one of my friends to get a decent grade in one of their classes.

Looking through the syllabus to see if attendance is part of the grade.

If it is not, I will only show up for the tests, if it is, I am missing as many days allowed.

The first week wasn't so bad, I can do this.

But when the homework and tests start coming in...

Never mind.
