Life As I Know It

I just got out of my chemistry lab, which meets once a week on Thursday mornings. It was all that I expected: a lab partner, a tough professor, and required typed lab reports. The past couple of days I’ve been shocked with the amount of work that has been thrown at me. I’ve been complaining (mostly to myself) and feel like it should be easier to get good grades. After some thought and self therapy, however, I’ve come to the realization that no matter how much I talk about it, how much I stress about the work and complain, the amount of work isn’t going to change. The only way to overcome this feeling of stress is to embrace the work and view all of it as a great opportunity to learn and succeed. This is definitely easier said than done, but I’m done complaining. I’m finished. I’m here, with a lot of work, but I’m just going to do it, all, and be happy!

Anyways, just forget I wrote that little self epiphany.. but I went to the basketball game last night.. Let’s just say that our soccer team is the exact opposite of our basketball team this year, which is disappoint considering the fact that Winthrop has been to the NCAA tournament eight times out of the past ten years, a southern mid major powerhouse. But all teams have rebuilding years, and this season is definitely a rebuilding year for the Eagles on the court. Oh well, they can only get better. At least we have a historically good basketball team!

Not to complain or anything, because as I said I’m done with that, but I’m kind of in a pickle here.. my sociology class is tonight at six, but I still haven’t gotten the book for the class. They’re sold out at our bookstore and now my order is on backorder! It’s not that big of a deal if I don’t have my book, the professor is still going to lecture as always. I just feel a little left out, ya know?

Alright, well I’m off to get some lunch, then to chemistry lecture at 12:30, then to human experience at 2:00, then weight lifting at 5:00, then sociology at 6:30. Busy I know, but I wasn’t complaining was I? I love this busyness business! (Cool play on homonomes, I know)
