"I have no trouble breaking away from my studies and coming back to them later. As soon as I start to slog along, I switch gears. I enjoy playing guitar, and picking it up and playing a song or two clears my mind and refreshes me. I also afford myself more substantial breaks. I have no trouble making new friends and am excited to explore the campus and the surrounding area. I am looking for to everything this experience has to offer. I am determined and focused and ready to go."
