I already like the sound of that. You already got a taste of what the spring semester might look like for me; but, I have some very <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">realistic<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> academic goals I would like to share with you all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Things are going to start looking different around here. You know, because I\u2019m about to turn all philosophical on you. My first <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">realistic<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> goal is to be more <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">philosophical<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> this semester. And by this I mean I\u2019m taking my first philosophy class at the college: Metaphysics. Yea, scary. But, hey, I really just want to start spitting out some Aristotle and Descartes, no big deal. It\u2019s realistic, if you ask me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As I\u2019m becoming philosophical in my own way, you should expect that I\u2019ll be referencing the Constitution and political ideology thanks to taking a shot in my first political science class on American Government and Politics (only after watching <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The West Wing<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, of course). I already spit out <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hamilton<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> lyrics without command, so what\u2019s the difference?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While I\u2019m becoming more philosophical and political, I plan on pursuing all my other endeavors in the form of eloquent Latin poetry, such as Ovid\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Metamorphoses<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> and the Greek text of Lysias with some of my very best friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you know me, you know I\u2019m working on my humor. And, all <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">bad<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> jokes aside, I am so excited for my classes this semester. Although it\u2019s always hard to get out of comfort during break, I miss the energy during a busy semester. And, as you know, I love taking academics seriously and challenging myself, so here goes nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">By the way, I plan on completing all these goals among others. So, be prepared. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sophomore Spring.
