~40 School, and then Possibly Water Polo?
Things have been going pretty good. I took the first half of my first exam of the semester today in Physical Anthropology. I was nervous because this is the first Anthropology class I've taken at A&M. I'm halfway afraid that I'm going to lose interest in it or find myself incapable of studying the material like how it happened in all the other majors I've tried. Thankfully, I had nothing to worry about. This half, the work out math problems, were a lot easier than I expected. I had no trouble with any of it, took the pace slow, and finished with plenty of time to spare. I hope the 2nd half on Thursday goes just as well.
Most of my friends have been flirting with illness or have become so busy with various classes and tutoring sessions that getting together isn't as easy as it once was. I've been feeling a little lonely around here, not going to lie. I thought about making new friends out of acquaintances, but all of those attempts have ended in near dismal failure. I just never feel like I have much in common with damn near anyone. I finally resolved that I'm going to try joining a club again. Strangely enough, right now I'm looking at the Water Polo club team. They're about halfway through their season, so I wouldn't blame them if they said no, but I figure that 4 years of high school at least means that I can more or less retrain myself. No one has to teach me egg beater kick or how to move in the water during games. Of course I'm so out of shape from not swimming that I probably doesn't mean I'll contribute at all. I'm sure my catching and passing skills are abysmal by now. It's a completely student run thing, so that makes me feel a little optimistic about things, but if they don't want to deal with me I'm also looking at the triathlon team. I'm sure I can find something around here to at least ease the boredom.
I'm burning time in the library until my Lab starts in about 20 minutes or so... what else can I talk about? Work has been going good. I'm working two shifts a week now, and neither one of them is a closing shift! I've been sick the past week or so it's been annoying to wash my hands every 5 minutes, but things have been nice overall!
