So now that I'm posting this I'm sure to jinx myself, but I have quite a lot of free time so far. Of the five academic classes I'm taking, I'm only working in three on a regular basis. Philosophy's got some demanding reading, Japanese is naturally a lot of work, and I have to do some reading just about daily for Economics. History of Western Music is a fairly effortless class, as is Texas Government, but I'll have to study both of those a bit before exams come along.
The big difference here is that I'm used to seriously working in 4 or 5 classes at a time. And when one of my three working classes is actually pretty painless (Econ, readings are crazy short), it leaves me with a *lot* of spare time. Way more than I'm used to as a college student. And instead of doing what I should be doing (catching up on music or gaming), I'm attempting to be social. I'm doing the same sort of rounds that I did at the very start of last year - check the rooms that have lots of people and see if there's anyone to talk to.
At the very least, I'm spending more time off the computer. I deserve kudos for that, because only I can prevent forest fires carpal tunnel.
