Back to the Books

Yesterday I went into school with Krystyna to pay my $100 tuition deposit that I needed to make before I could register, and indeed register. When we arrived we went into a student resource room and figured out what courses I wanted/needed and when they were available for me to take. After we got all that sorted out we went to see the chair of the Chemistry Department--who was also my teacher in my first year of uni--to inquire about whether I would have to take the General Chemistry Lab as I am repeating the course (yes, I thought I was done with retaking courses, but I just have to get this one out of the way and then I'm okay!). She recognized me as soon as I went in, and that, is why I go to MSVU. Anyways, back on track. She said I didn't have to and I chatted with her a little bit more, and headed upstairs to the registration counter. I was able to get all of my courses but one, and I'm waitlisted for it, and my lab. The courses I am taking are Math: Intro to Probability and Statistics I&II (plus a 1 hr, 15 min/wk required lab), General Chemistry I&II, Biology: Diversity of Animals (plus a 3 hr/wk required lab), Biology: Basic Neuroscience, English: Writing and Theory Practice. And then I am waitlisted for Biology: Physiology of Animals (plus a 3hr/wk required lab). I'm going to be busy busy next year, and where I am scared to death of messing up, I know that I am ready for this, I know that I want to do this, and most of all, I know that I can do this. And even though I am scared, I have to say, I cannot wait until September. I am very excited to be taking some of those course, to be a full time student again, and to not be the dumb one anymore (plus apparently the devil isn't returning, yay!). But don't get me wrong, I am in no way wishing away my summer.

Work has been off the wall. I've barely had time to breathe, like I said last post. And I keep thinking, just make it to Saturday and I'll be okay, but no, I start the daycare this Saturday morning, and then I babysit that night. Sometimes I think I really must be crazy, to be working so much and then try to have a social life as well. For example, today I worked morning and evening, so afternoon I went shopping with Krystyna.

But now, I am exhausted and freezing, so I'm going to go to bed, something that unlike my sister, I have no problem doing, I just don't get enough of it!
