back to school
i don't write in this thing nearly as often as I should. well, as often as I should have, considering all the free time i used to have until about a month ago, when all my responsibilities were to work 5 days a week.
Yes, my friends, I am back to school with a vengeance, hopefully this time I'll do better than I did 4 years ago. I'm rocking it so far, but I'm so freaking exhausted.
I'm writing from one of the computer labs in this HUGE university. Well, huge for me who was used to Radians HS (graduating class of 40), and Knox College. This place is about 5 times as big, and 100 times more confusing. And in two weeks of attendance, I still haven't made any friends. I guess I'm kinda shy when I have no one else to fall back on if my attempt at creating a new friend fails, so on Mondays and wednesdays, when I have about 5 hours between my morning classes and my evening class, I just float around campus trying to find a comfortable spot to read the material for my night class. I miss the cool chairs and rooms in the knox library, it really did rock.
I'm taking a chemistry class (general chemistry) and a poli sci class (race, religion and ethnicity in american politics). My poli sci class started about 2 weeks ago, and my chemistry class just started this week. I had my first lab today, and was the last one to walk out of there because i was confused and didn't even get started until most of the class was more than halfway through, and I hadn't done the pre-lab work sheet stuff, so I had to do that too. *groans* I got it all done, but i felt mortified being the last one out of the lab. Made me feel absolutely stupid. But my years at knox taught me that I'm not the smartest kid in the class anymore, so it really doesn't kill me aymore. Anyhow, chemistry is slowly starting to come back to me, and I think I'm gonna get a good grade, even if I'm the last one out of the lab. My reasoning is still sound, it's just slower than it used to be.
I'm so fucking exhausted. I'll probably stay that way until my body gets used to waking up early again. i remember i used to wake up at 5:30 every morning for middle school and high school. It's probably just going to be a matter of getting used to it again, but for now, I'm so sleepy it's not even funny.
Anyhow, I probably should go and get some more reading done before class. Wouldn't hurt to work on some chemistry problems either. And, who knows? maybe i'll make a friend today. But if I don't, it's fine. I'm here to work.
