Vegemite

Today, Sunday, was oddly enough much like yesterday. I didn’t have such a late night because we ended up not going out but instead just hanging out here and on some other halls. This morning I went to go run some errands but found that every building on campus was closed. I thought at least one of the 15 libraries would be open, but no! I had wanted to print my schedule as well as some forms that I’m supposed to sign and turn in. Anyway it was again very hot today but not as bad—it’s only 88 in my room now and it feels nice. I was tired by the time I got back from wandering, but 2 guys in my hall were about to leaves to go to Coles which is a supermarket kind of place with other random stuff as well, and I thought I should tag along and see if I needed anything. It’s only a 10 minute walk off campus and I ended up getting some hair conditioner and some Timtams which are these biscuits that everyone here is obsessed with. I had yet to try them and this was a tragic misfortune according to my hallmates, so I had to do it—as if buying chocolate covered cookies was just SO hard for me to do. I tried one, okay maybe two, and they were delicious. But I don’t think I will be buying them again since I don’t have a fridge and my room is far too hot to have chocolate. So once we got back from shopping it was time for lunch. I went to the pool again with many from my hall and some others for the afternoon to escape the heat. I swam laps for a while and then just relaxed. Now I’m focusing on classes beginning tomorrow. I have a problem with my schedule—I have Friday afternoon chem. lab until 5pm! When I enrolled in my tutorials and labs on Monday it was the only lab left. This means that most weekend trips would be off-limits for me which is soooooo not cool. Thus, tomorrow I have to go into the Monday lab tomorrow afternoon and beg to be let in either to that one or Wednesday morning. Depending on which one of those I could get, I would have to choose between 2 psychology courses. So while I’m using my persuasion to the best of my ability I will be missing a lecture in a course that I’m potentially taking…annoying. I do NOT like missing anything…ever. I’m just very worried that I won’t be able to get out of taking Friday lab and I can never miss one for the whole semester because the policy is that if you miss one you fail the whole course (lecture and lab!). I’m so tempted not to take it and to just take easy classes but I really don’t want to have such a hard final semester at Lehigh. If I can’t change this lab I really might have to drop the course…which is also annoying as it took me many, many hours of work to get the course approved last semester. I don’t want to think about this anymore because it’s really stressing me out. I can only make my best effort to fix my schedule and hope it will all work out. I’m exhausted because I probably spent too much time outside today in the sun/heat…something I have a feeling will be happening far too often!
