Spring Quarter has started...its actually three weeks in, but I'll update you anyway. I'm taking three classes: Intro to Philosophy, Statistics, and Psychology Research Methods. The last two are pretty boring, mostly becasue they are really similar and I seem to learn the same stuff twice in one day. On the up side, I learn everything twice so I'll probably end up acing both classes. Intro to Philosophy is really interesting. We read a bunch of Plato/Socrates, which was way too intellectual and complicated for my tastes. We are reading Aristotle right now, and I like his ideas a lot better. If you want to hear about virtue or how our souls are plant, animal, and human just let me know :) I have a paper due next week for Philosophy on Socrates' trial, so I'm not too thrilled since it is kind of complicated but I'm not that worried. Other than that, it looks like this quarter isn't going to be too bad, academic wise.
Leadership life is a little different. I have two things to do this quarter and one of them is going to take a lot of time. First, I am going to put on a program at the end of May: Hug Therapy and Meditation. This is the easy one and will be really fun, so I'm looking forward to that. The other one involves a committee and that is going to be kind of rushed and take a lot of time. Fortunately, that will be over and done with by May 7th. Besides those two things, I just need to keep up on my regular duties (which I'm a little behind on right now). I'm going to try and get some stuff done before the weekend, and then next week will be when I plan to get back on track.
Life has been really crazy and hectic. I have been having really bad headaches lately. I did some research and I might have chronic headaches. My mom says I should go to Hall Health and I plan to make an appointment next week, since I'll have some extra time. I have a feeling I already know what's going to happen, but I'll just wait before I confirm anything. It has been a little difficult focusing on getting through classes and RHSA stuff with pounding headaches, but I'm trying to adjust and manage. Fortunately, I have had a respite from my headaches the last couple days so that's been pretty cool.
One of the other reasons that I'm behind is that I usually do most of my work on the weekend, and I have not been in my room for a good period of time for one weekend since this quarter started. I won't be here this weekend either but, hopefully, it will calm down after that.
Speeking of this weekend, I am soooo excited. My aunt, on my dad's side, is getting married. I am sooooo happy for her, plus I get to see a bunch of my family and that doesn't happen very often. I'm also going to be helping out with the wedding. I am the designated person to keep my aunt calm, so she's going to be staying in my room the night before the wedding. Plus, on the wedding day, I am going to be in charge of the guestbook because they want to take pictures of everyone who signs it. It is going to be so much fun, but it will be so hectic and I am a little worried at how much work I'll be able to get done. On the upside, the wedding is a testdrive for my Spring Cruise dress! That's not really all that exciting, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.
Well, I think I've rambled on for long enough already. I shall leave you with this final thought from Aristotle:
"...we are noble in only one way, but bad in all sorts of ways"
