在一个月的玩乐放纵后，课堂正式开始了。首先，第一学期我的课加起来只有20个小时。星期三和星期五则没有课。我面临的最大一个问题是新获得的巨大自由以及我对学习惰性的控制，还有就是经常会受到干扰——一群家伙叫我出去喝酒、临时的足球比赛、打雪仗、在野外烧烤，或者是我的室友们对扔在池子里的脏餐具的怒吼声(当然，里面没有我的，绝对没有，我没撒谎)。

    Eventually, student life fell into a routine. I'd wake up sometime around 12pm (occasionally earlier if I had class), put off doing work while I went to eat, go to class, come back, work a little, and then get bored and go and hang out with my friends. I had a very irresponsible attitude during my first semester, and while I'm not proud of it, it did allow me to experience university life to the full. I joined the fencing team, the games society and the university magazine. I got an internship at the local newspaper, working on a huge range of stories and going in to the office twice a week. I threw myself in to student life, suffering the hangovers, the late nights and the abject poverty along with my fellow freshmen.
