I played tennis for several hours tonight. I can feel it already that I'll be sore tomorrow, but it was fun, albeit a bit frustrating at times.
Things are going okay right now. I'm pretty busy with work this summer, but not too overwhelmed. Right now we're gearing up for the fall, for the launch of an entirely new Ambassadors program. I'm excited, but can't help feeling a bit tired just thinking about it.
I'm considering dropping one more class and going down to just 12 units. I figure what with working 20+ hours in Admissions, plus my 7+ hours I'm committed to spending in Dr. Williams' lab this semester, I'll be plenty busy. I can do it, and still graduate on time/early, and maybe, just maybe, it'd be good for my sanity.
I'm also thinking about volunteering at a rape crisis center, or domestic violence shelter on a very part-time basis. It would depend on my schedule and their needs, but I feel like it might be a good idea to get my foot in the door and get a taste of what's yet to come if I keep pursuing the track I'm on right now. If I drop a class, I'd be able to do that, without adding too much stress to my life.
If I do drop, this semester I'm taking:
PSYC 309: Abnormal Psych (Van Lant) - R 9:30-12:00
PSYC 365: Cognitive Psych (Williams) - MWF 12:30-1:20
PSYC 412: Physiological Psych (Williams) - MWF 10:30-11:20
BBST 251: Theology I (Thoennes) - T 3:00-5:40
And, fitting my work and research hours in the midst of that doesn't seem too daunting. Maybe I will drop a class. It just feels so counter-intuitive to take less than seems physically/emotionally/mentally possible. Maybe I deserve a break for a semester, it's not like I'll be slacking off...
