So today was a crazy busy Monday and I’m exhausted in every way that exists. I got up at 7am, had chem. lecture, went to the bank to get my online account unfrozen…long story…to find that it doesn’t open until 9:30, went across campus to the bio.sci. library to check out the marine textbook (I didn’t buy any of my textbooks) because Friday’s lecture went right over my head, read there for a while, checked out the book, went back to the bank, then spent an hour being a guinea pig for a psyc. PhD student…all of this was before lunch! I went back to college for lunch, dropped off books/picked up my lab gear and ate really quickly. Before lab I had an hour session at the lib on how to use the library cataloques/databases for my anthropology class. I mostly spent my time actually doing my research rather than listening to the library woman because it’s really not all that complicated to run the searches. I had to practically run from there to get to my lab on time. We had to run twice as many titrations as we did last week. Awesome. There were also a bunch of calculations and questions but I was happy to do them knowing that I didn’t have to do a formal lab write-up! Anyway I finished first just because I'm efficient and amazing...or maybe because I got lucky...whatever you'd like to think. I got out at 5:00—it starts at 2 and is supposedly over at 4:50—and had to rush home and change because I have cycling at 5:30 and it takes about 12 minutes to speed-walk to the gym. I got there just in time and found out it was the extreme class—it’s a full hour instead of 50 minutes because there’s an extra hill set and racing set. As if I wasn’t exhausted enough from the day in general!
I had dinner with some Americans who had also been at the gym but in a different class, and it didn’t please me. The dinner was actually decent but I don’t like many of them very much. It's weird because even though I'm very picky with who I chose as my close friends, I'm not at all picky when it come to aquaintance-type friends. Anyway, I just don’t see myself traveling with most of them. There are a few that are okay but now that I’m getting to know them better I just don’t feel like I’m fitting into their little clique. I think there are some in that group that don’t feel like they fit in either. I don’t know. Girls are lame.
I have a bunch of work to do. I actually like it that I have to take out textbooks from the library and return them within 3 days because it forces me to read the chapters while I have it.
I just showered and it’s 8:20 .At 9:00 union girls have their first netball game vs. another one of the colleges and Bridgette from my hall is on the team. A bunch of us are going to cheer her on. I think someone might have to carry me there. I really want to go but also I also really want to breathe for the first time today. Everyone (in my hall as well as the rest of the college as well as the entire university) is sick or has been sick for the past week. I know myself and on days like this where I overexert myself my immune system tends to just shut off. I don’t want to catch the bug. I want some m&m’s and my studying to be done. I want bed now. Dilemma.
I’m indecisive and I can’t stop thinking about things I wish I had done a few weeks ago so that maybe right now wouldn’t be so hard for me. My solution for tonight is to study—at least doing well in my classes is something I can control…
And Tuesdays are usually pretty good. I'll discuss my life with Charlene in marine lecture and I'm praying that she has something to say that will cheer me up. I've never had to rely so much on one person. I don't like it. But I can deal with it. And I will have to deal with it. Ok study of continental margins and volcanoes and atoll formation and...and then bed.
