Here we go again

Day 2 of the semester and i already fell asleep on my bus ride home because i'm so worn out. One of our professors reminded us today that one of the classes (out of three this semester) is actually taken as three separate classes by undergrads. So if it feels like we're doing three times the amount of work for one class, it's because we are.

While the work is daunting, and assignments and information scattered like marbles on tile, i think it will be a (dare i say it) fun semester. We have three courses- Pathophysiology, Mental Health nursing, and Adult Health nursing. The last two courses both have clinicals which i am a moron and chose both morning (i should say dawn, as they start at 6:30 am) times instead of afternoon -d'oh!

Thank God for Fridays! tomorrow, though, we have two classes back to back - barely enough time to go to the bathroom, get a snack and walk up four flights of stairs. But then we have the whole afternoon off. well, if we don't read and catch up (yes, i am already behind- but for good reasons that i'll get to shortly), and use our friday afternoon wisely, the whole semester will be uphill and backwards!

As for why i have chosen to be slightly less prepared for tomorrow morning's lecture (not completely unprepared) is because i have joined UT's women's club water polo team. I played all through high school and college (although that was roughly 7 years ago) and have really missed playing (i used to dream about it!) I'm a bit out of swimming shape (i can ride my bike for four hours, but have hardly any upper body strength) but once we got the balls in the water and i had something to swim fast towards, i was raring to go! They have a great goalie, but i got some great corner shots in- so fun! I know it's going to be tough to fit in daily two hour practices, but it is going to be such a great stress release, i really want to make it work. Speaking of work, i need to finish reviewing and then hit the sack.
