I've known now for a week or two that I'm going to college, to UNC Chapel Hill. This has, of course, tremendously augmented my outlook as a senior. I have known laziness; I have known carelessness; I have known boredom; I have known apathy. My present condition shares little with those idle idylls of the past. My attitude is approaching a hypothetical negative work ethic -- I'm growing morally opposed to doing any more work than is necessary for maintaining passing grades. Latin, ever exceptional, occupies most of my scandalously brief working-time.
The ol' social life ("social subsistence" might better sketch the situation) has been fun if patchy. Elena's hosted several good parties lately, and some other cool stuff probably happened in the month-plus since the prior entry. Quiz Bowl has been somewhat bad -- we made a pathetic showing at Saturday's competition -- but mostly awesome, as we took 1st place at T. Jeffy's gigantic tournament several weeks ago.
