first day of school
yesterday was the first day of school. it was crazy. all of my classes seem like they are going to be ok this semester, but the massive crowds of people i had to deal with will not be ok. packing in on the bus like sardines is not my idea of fun. especially since i am slightly chlostrophobic (spell?). somebody's ass lurking in my face while i ride the bus severely creeps me out! i was also very upset when transportation services moved my bus stop to the other end of campus. it adds at least and extra 10 minutes of walk time to my already crunched time schedule. not to mention in the blistering sun. life is great when you finally reach your class drenched in sweat. it makes a great impression to smell like ass when you meet people for the first time.
so it took me awhile to get over the whole transportation ordeal and the heat. i then became upset with the massive crowds of people i had to fight to eat lunch. the line outside of the dining hall was out the door and down the steps! jimmy, heather, and i decided to go to the underground food court only to discover we also had a long wait to get food there too. i never remembered it being this crowded on campus or having to wait in long lines. it also didnt help me to be patient when i had practically no sleep the night before.
whew! now that i have bitched enough, i guess i should say a few positive things about my classes. so far i have been so lucky to have classes with heather, jimmy, jeremy, and a few of my other close friends. the day goes by much faster when you are surrounded by the people you care about the most. =) i also have enjoyed my professors/TA's. they all seem to be fairly straightforward with the work load and what they expect.
today is my first day of tues/thur classes. tuesdays are fairly easy with just anthropology and microbiology, but thursdays are going to be loads of fun with those two classes plus a dance class and a biochem recitation. at least fridays will be fairly relaxing with no work or excessive amounts of classes. everything would be great if i could just get my stress level to go down. *takes deep breaths*
hope everyone is having a great week!
