First Week
Somehow, I made it through the first week of school. John drove me to and from class each evening because my car needs some work, and I have no books yet as I’m waiting on grant money, but I made it. Granted, I missed Tuesday’s Astronomy class because I went to the wrong campus, but that worked out since the class met again last night.
Psychology, Astronomy, Geography, and American Government. This should be very interesting. For some reason I have yet to figure out, I don’t feel too stressed about this semester. True, I was nearly wiggin’ out about getting to classes on time but that’s me, afraid of walking into class late (yes, still, at age 26). The three teachers I’ve met seem pretty cool, easy to talk to, and ALL have a great sense of humor (a must or my attention is gone relatively soon). I am really appreciating the fact that the only paper I have to do is in Geography, my online course, which is completely manageable for (though I’ll probably put it off as usual).
I learned the past year that my memory from high school is no longer in existance. I discovered that if I am to do any reading I need to do it the night before or day of my class or it’s like I never read. Long-term memory, what the hell is that?
I’m sure I’ll find something to bitch about (like the white trash woman in my Astro class that needs to shut the hell up, it’s astronomy, not philosophy), but I’m hoping it’ll only be topics, not work load. And no pyscho trips into hell due to extended Lithium withdrawals, because I have enough refills to last until the new year. Whew. I can actually do this. Only three more years to go.

I have no long-term memory of shit I learned in high school either. The worst part about it is that you KNOW you know it, you just can’t GET to it. Drives me nuts! LOL

Right now I’m just at the local Mt. San Jacinto College. I’ll be transferring to a Cal State school or U of Redlands next year. That’s a whole other stress I’m trying not to think about, lol.

It sounds like you’ve got your plate full, but also (and more improtantly) it sounds like you’ve got a good handle on it. Congrats on making it through your first week of class! I hope to see you out here next spring/summer!

Geeeeeez. I’d go nuts if I had to take all those courses at once! You just be brilliant! I’ve got to mix it up, like: History, Quilting, American Lit (again), Basic Keyboarding. lol! I burn out easily.
Congratulations on the hefty course load! This is going to be great! You’ll probably have less time to blog, but I know you’ll be happy putting that time toward your degree.
