Day one of full-time dental prerequisite schedule. I am taking general biology, chemistry and Trigonometry. I feel like I should have read ahead in math this Summer to prepare myself for ANGLES!! Whaaa???? My math teacher reads out of the text-book, so that's riveting. He also wears a retainer and makes a slight hiss when he talks. Distracting.
I want to commit to my classes but I am in financial aid limbo and not sure if this school year will really happen. Oh yeah. Did I mention that? I knew it was coming. I have 272 credits and the max for undergrad is 270. That's what happens when you change your major in Senior status. I really don't know what I will do if I do not get financial aid. I had these grandiose visions of working and going to school but I am getting older and more tired. I am naturally a sedentary person (there are legitimate health reasons other than lazy) so it is hard for me to do both. I know that sounds lame but it's true. One thing I have learned as I have gotten older is that I can't change everything. I'm all for pursuing your dreams and stuff but I need to be realistic about my stamina. I could try to get a job on campus, but the only one I qualify for is full-time. Not going to work. So, hopefully I'll get financial aid and I won't have to worry about working and school. I've done that too many times and I'm a little tired and over it. So there. Even my Dr. said I'll need to get more energy if I want to commit to so much school. She knows me well.
Anyway, if I sound a little non-plussed it is because I am recovering from my first full day of school this term and I still have a ton of homework to do. I am tired. I am looking forward to my science classes. Chemistry especially. PSU is so accommodating to their students. They have a website where they set up lecture notes, assignments, etc. My biology teacher even included different study techniques. Wowee! I feel spoiled. I know that will go away soon. Wish me luck!
