First official day of class tomorrow.
Feeling excited, not nervous at all (which could be good or it could be denial)
I think I have everything ready, it's just a matter of putting it in my backpack and setting it next to the door. My printer has gotten quite the work out this week, much like my stapler and my hole-puncher. The intent here is to start the school year organized so that when things do get messy, they wont be as bad.
I've been hanging out with mainstreams, or non-nerds, and it's proven to be positively enlightening. I do miss my nerd friends and hope to find some here but either way the individuals I have met are not bad. I certainly haven't established any sort of study group or set routine. I think I need to get a feel of how my weekly schedule is going to be before I decide to set anything in stone.
I printed out the available slides for class and there is quite a bit of material that, ocording to the syllabus, the professor hopes to get through in one 3-hour class period. This is completely possible but it sounds like the complete opposite of fun.
I am not totally caught up on my reading (what a great way to start eh?) but I think it's because I need to look at what the professors are focusing on so that I can do so also in my reading. I plan on finishing everything around 9pm tonight, taking a shower and calling it a night.
Talking to current students has really been comforting and reassuring. They made me feel like I am going to have a life for the next 2 years and that school is not going to consume me entirely. I know it is the priority but I don't feel like repeating the episode of last semester were I was left incapacitated by stress.
Speaking of handicaps, I've decided to not have my surgery during the time that I am in school but instead wait until after graduation when I am in between school and a job. Plus myself and Mr. S might have to move after his graduation so I would be looking for a new job either way.
I am looking forward to the rest of the week and hope that my lack of anxiety is not entirely ill-founded.
