The University Days response is very accurate. Thurber just seems to sort of give up and accept "what's coming to him" you could say. Thurber does not do anything to excel in his classes and is lacking enthusiasm. Thurber complains about his classes being difficult, but if he applied himself more it seems to me like he would do well. I think he needs to find the value of trying hard and working towards a goal in his schooling.

I completely agree with you on University Days. I think Thurber set his goals at this naively high level which ultimately threw him off when he realized things would not be as he expected. I think once he got into these harder classes such as Botany he expected to breeze right through them, like maybe he had before in high school, etc. However, he was met with a brick wall that was the limits of his skills and I think the first time he was ever required to do much of anything in school or work towards a goal. It seems like he was unprepared for the University and that was his worst mistake.
