So while that did leave me with some free time, I feel like I am not as prepared for what is ahead of me next semester&#8230; Well, maybe that\u2019s exaggerating a bit (I do that from time to time).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Also, Midterms brings up another thing: there\u2019s no one here.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Really, there isn\u2019t. The entire campus is deserted save for a handful of students. I can\u2019t really go home, Oregonian and all, but as a lot of the people here are from Indiana it makes sense that they\u2019d get away for a few days. Yeah, I envy them a little; I\u2019d like to go home, sleep in my own bed, see my parents, girlfriend and other friends, eat a decent piece of fish (and Ruben\u2019s Pizza). But I would also like to spend more time than just one or two days; that\u2019s good for a short break, maybe go out a few times with friends, but fly across the country? Kind of much, especially since Thanksgiving break is in a few weeks and I\u2019ll be going home for a whole week, more or less.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll have more to say on this when the week is over.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_326\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-326\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/class2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/10\/snipers.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-326\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/class2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/10\/snipers-300x215.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"215\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/class2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/10\/snipers-300x215.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/class2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/10\/snipers-418x300.jpg 418w, https:\/\/blog.wabash.edu\/class2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2013\/10\/snipers.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-326\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">And now for some shameless self-promotion; these are some of my Space Marines that I use at Dork Club, Wabash&#8217;s Gaming club.
