Coffe, study, Repeat :)

This is definitely how I have felt today. If I hadn't have had that cup of coffee this morning I just don't know what I would've done. Mondays and Wednesdays are my buckle down days. I am at school from 7-7. I have a five hour break and instead of drive home I just veg at school and STUDY STUDY STUDY!!! I have so far spent a collective total of 5.5 hours in the library studying ONE subject today! I knew Anatomy is going to take a lot of studying, and I am not complaining. Just saying. If anything today, I have learned that my glasses are no longer current...my head hurt worse then if I hadn't worn them. In saying, I was prompted to make an appointment with my eye doctor (it is time for my annual anyway.) Hopefully, my eye sight hasn't worsened.
It certainly was already random as it was. One eye nearsighted and one eye farsighted. So hopefully with an updated prescription or a new answer will make staring at this computer screen and endless sheets of white paper with tiny black words on them much easier.

I am in love with my classes this semester. My spanish class is awesome and while I am still not sure about my profesor's teach style, I think I can manage to buckle down and self teach my stuff. The fact that I took a year off from my spanish minor did become really apparent to me this week and last week as we reviewed. Still, I love the Spanish language. This morning, one of my friends and I were texting and I told her I was walking into my spanish class she said, "EW", which is fine cause she is a French minor, to which I say, "EW", haha.

My history teacher definitely makes learning history fun, and while he isn't quite Dr. Weaver, he def. is the next best. I worry about his class because I am not good at writing essays and that is LITERALLY all ANY assignment in his class is, an essay. However, I feel like I am retaining alot and he gives us the essay question possibilities on our syllabus so you can always just prepare for each question. I am so glad I am taking a class with a friend! It always give you something to look forward to. Thanks Jonah for letting me know we were taking one of the same classes so I could hop into your section!

Statistics isn't quite my favorite subject but we are a lively, discussive (is that a word) group and my teacher is great. I opted to be a notetaker in this class for SDS, partially because noone else would volunteer and to be helpful to this student, but also because this is the class that keeps me at school in the evenings on Monday and Wednesday (prompting the 5 hour break.) Sometimes it is so tempting to go home and now especially with being a note taker that just isn't an option.

Theatre...well its basic theatre. Totally bearable but nothing that really is worthy of saying on here (which is a nice way of saying I didn't get to go last week) My boss at work extended me an hour and pushed me out of time to get to class. I had dinner with a wonderful friend instead. :)

That leaves Anatomy. There is so much i could say aout this topic. I have a love hate relationship iwht it. I love A & P, I just wish it didn't have chemistry at the beginning of the book. I have never been a big fan of chemistry. It was just always one of those subjects that didn't hold my attention enough to want to know more about it. I am very inquisitive and interested in the human body and its functions, but I guess as to how it is made up and what the basis of all those functions are has just never made it into my head to want to know. I have just always accepted it is what it is I suppose.
In saying that my first test over chapters 1 & 2 is Monday or Tuesday ( a perk of taking an online course) I have chapter 1 down. Bet you can't guess what chapter 2 is? CHEMISTRY (so I have been disciplined and for the past 5.5 hours have had my rear end in this library chair in front of the computer: studying the power points, doing the vocabulary, review, and even the questions online which is like a practice quiz and give you a grade (not in the book , like a just for you thing.)  Well a 79.8 is a B.....so I guess I will accept that but I will not quit studying. I want A's or high B's. I know I can do this stuff it is just a matter of applying myself and really buckling down.
I already feel like I have massacred a billion trees with all the notecards I have been using for Anatomy and Spanish.

So life has just been going. I am just rolling along, enjoying what I am learning from life and in school. It really has hit me lately that I miss Eric sooo much, but I shall be a big girl ( I am always reminded of the old Pert Plus commercial where the song "Big Girls Don't Cry" is being played in the background.)

Well that's it for now.

  1. Taking Intro to Theatre? I LOVED that class! Aced the mess out of it. Could be that I work in theatre at home though ;)
