What's to come.

Alas! School has started again. I meant to post something of substance before this point, but I did not. My powers of procrastination have yet to elude me. And so I will write until I post the many posts I have started, but have yet to finish. I started Christmas's post, my best ofs, a brief segment on New Years, Semi Fun Week (which I have some awesome pictures of), and who knows how many others...I guess we'll see which I actually post. Maybe I'll finish some tonight, but I really think I should clean my room right now before I have work, as well as school, to deal with. As you can see it's a mess, and were you to see more than that you'd lament my task. But isn't my space heater lovely? Here's a better shot of it in all of it's glory. Yeah, I know, my room's a mess.I absolutely loved that I had 2 of the 3 weeks off from school that I wasn't working. I had much fun, and after ending the last semester completely spent, it was a much needed recuperation. Of course the downside is that my first week being thrown back into school I'm also thrust back into work, and training someone new at that. I hope the person Scooter chose is right for our week. If I start feeling any added stress from work compared to this last semester, I won't make it. And my classes seem to have progressed in difficulty as well. It's amazing how you can come out of your first day of school completely stressed as if you'd been there for weeks. Luckily I don't have Karen Brown teaching any of my classes at the onset of the semester (I like her as a teacher a lot, but her class kicked my backside in the fall), but every class is expecting more than previously. A lot more homework and studying, longer days for the most part, and my Micro teacher decided it would be a great idea to shuffle around lab partners for the rest of the semester. I really think Stevie Boy and I help each other in the lab more than the other's are capable of helping me, and a lot of that is the mood created by being surrounded by good friends willing to help each other...and this is why this is slightly upsetting to me. I don't want to be surrounded all week by a set amount of people not of my own choosing. I know it will probably be fine, because I like almost everyone in the program, but even being stuck one week with a person who might hold me back in learning or who doesn't make me all that happy, will likely poison my great love of Microbiology. Curses on the taking away of my freedom in the matter! That's mainly what ruffles my feathers, because that's what always made me uncomfortable as a child. I was super shy, and teachers would try to push me into more social situations that made me more afraid, and the more they pushed the more I resented and retreated back. Not quite the same, but I hate being forced into things not of my own choosing. God gave us agency after all.

So with that little rant I'm ready to look forward and try to make the best of what I have.
