(no subject)
It feels weird, my first week in this semester and I'm not taking any anatomy or physiology classes. I walk past the biology labs and get this weird feeling like I'm cheating on my major. DON'T LOOK AT ME MICROBIO, IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME.
So, this semester is supposed to be my easy-peasy lemon breezy one before I apply for the program. I got all of my most difficult courses taken care of already. I can't believe what I have accomplished in three semesters. I never thought I was smart enough to take these kinds of classes and get A's and B's (and last semester a strep throat induced C *grumble*) in them. My GPA took a small hit from all the C's I got last semester, but considering that I had to take two weeks off of school to heal, that's not so bad. It just means that I have to rock this semester to bring it back up.
Today I have college algebra which is sadly semi independent again. Mother fucker, I had my friend on skype helping me enroll just to ENSURE that it wasn't a semi independent math course. This math class had an actual professor and room number when I originally enrolled and everything was just peachy. But of course I didn't think to screen shot anything. They literally changed the course description. After I enrolled. After it was too late to drop and add another class. GOD DAMN IT ANGER AND RAGE FIRE AND BLOOD.
I'm just going to give this (shitty and horrible) semi independent class another shot. After all, this semester it's my most difficult class. Last time I took it (and had to withdraw) I was also juggling anatomy and physiology and english (Which wasn't hard, just time consuming).
After math, I have ballet which is forcing me to eat some serious humble pie. The professor is quite intimidating, apparently he is a believer in the "mudslinging" teaching method. You know, the idea is that they throw a bunch of mud at the wall and see what sticks. In other words, they don't explain anything, just act like everyone knows what to do and eventually people will either catch on or they won't. I am supposed to be getting my text books today, and thank God because he already expects us to know the 5 positions with hand placement already. He actually expected us to know that the first day. This is supposed to be a beginner course. What. At least after today I will have the weekend to review with my text book and youtube and try to get caught up.
Tomorrow I already have two assignments due. I have to have a 2-3 minute introduction speech prepared for speech class and I have some astronomy homework due. My speech is already done, I just have to go over and over it until I can mostly recite it from memory. My astronomy homework I can't do until I get home from class today, because that's when my textbook should be here.
Friday I have yoga.
I know I need to find balance. I need to keep going to the gym but between this new school schedule and all of my regular chores I haven't gone at all this week. I already lost some weight just by sticking to this schedule, so I just need to do it. It doesn't matter if I'm feeling tired or depressed. I believe happiness is something you have to work for, so this is me giving effort. I have to keep my room clean, keep up on my laundry and put some effort into my appearance. I know that these things will keep me happy so I just need to stay on top of it all.
