Yes, I have been bogged down by classes and events and what have you, but that\u2019s kind of the point.

I\u2019ve been planning out my days and picking out important things to focus on, something that I never really did in high school (and several other people can attest to). With everything going on around Wabash (be it homecoming last weekend or some big exam), having a schedule really helps me get things done, because I have a clear goal that I can focus on. And focus is everything; do you know what you can achieve with good focus. Other than staring at things for a very long time, you can get pretty much anything done. <em>I managed to paint 47 30mm tall miniatures with focus&#8230;<\/em> and actual painting, <em>but focus was really important!<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_206\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-206\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/class2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/09\/Chaplain-Oprisko.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-206\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/class2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/09\/Chaplain-Oprisko-300x262.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/class2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/09\/Chaplain-Oprisko-300x262.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/class2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/09\/Chaplain-Oprisko-342x300.jpg 342w, https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/class2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/09\/Chaplain-Oprisko.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-206\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Not mine (well, the blue guy is, the other guys belong to Professor Porter), but you get the idea<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">&#8230; Yeah, I\u2019m ranting now.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, happy one month of Wabash.
