A new semester: Hasani is ready

Hi there. I am finally back at Ohio Wesleyan after a long and well-deserved break. I must say that my fall freshman year was a humbling experience. Now I know what to take and how to approach this thing called college. The Winter Break gave me a chance to rejuvenate myself and to re-evaluate my options after college. My second semester is as follows for me: I will not make the same mistakes and fall into the same hidden traps. I am determined to better myself in all ways no matter how hard the road is up ahead.

Now that I have said my peace about last semester, I will like to introduce to you the spring semester at Ohio Wesleyan. Everything was very fast-paced from the Monday I started class to today. It is crazy but I know this is more or less how the real world will operate. My books are on the right. Yeah, it is the amount of books that is required for all of my classes. This is not a pretty picture especially for those of you new to OWU or prospective students. Note to future students: this is the average amount of books for your classes. Do not let these books intimidate you from choosing your top school. The work will be done and the books will be read in no time if you stick to your guns.


Obviously, I have a good amount of classes that encompasses distribution credits as well as your major. I need all of the down time I can get. Two of the places where I can get all of my work done is in Hamilton Williams Student Center and in Slocum Hall. In Slocum Hall, there is a huge study hall where students who don't want to be involved in your everyday hustle and bustle of the campus can get away. I use it frequently because sometimes I need my space in order to succeed. After I finished my studies, I decide to enjoy the stained glass that adorns the ceiling. I took a picture of it as a reminder to myself to stop and enjoy where I am at. In Hamilton Williams, I chat with all of my friends and get some quick breakfast. This is where I get all of my important mail and invitations. I stopped to take another picture while I was taking a much needed break from my classes.


When I am finally done with all of my classes and my outside studies for the day, I relax by doing different things. Yesterday, I decided to go visit a couple of my friends and play a couple of rounds of Halo 2. I recommend everyone (professors included) to try Halo 2 and relieve some of that duress. Just relax and put school behind you by entering the battlefield and venting your frustrations in the game. There is nothing like it.





I like to study naturally so just before I go to bed, I like to review all of my notes to make sure it is in a good position to use in any discussions(which I have some). I do this with the intention that I am focusing all of my energy into completing the assigned work satisfactorily. I do this at any time- even if it is at two in the morning.


Well, I had to share my experience in dealing with the second semester. I am going through the motions and following the syllabii as closely as possible. I have to get over to Chi Phi soon for some rush events- today is Wings night (I am not missing that). In the meantime, I need to read a lot of books today and write some things (algunos en espanol). Enjoy yourselves.




Gotta split,
