If this blog was like a paid subscription to a newspaper, you'd be saying, "I want a refund!" I'm afraid my frequent posts will exist on a subsistant level. I am totally overwhelmed by the new semester. For the first time in 20 years, I'm having "breakouts" on my face. As I look in the mirror, blemishes are everywhere like a dot-to-dot. So I took my eyeliner pencil and tried to connect all those red dots and here is what it spelled: S-T-R-E-S-S!!!
In two weeks I've read about 700 pages worth of information, of which about 400 is committed to memory. Maybe in my next life I'll be an actress, since I'm becoming so good at memorizing...or atleast after my complexion clears up!
My history class content is easy but the quantity of work is gruelling. In two weeks we have had 8 tests, our normal reading, a supplemental book from a booklist with a 5 page report due later, A 7 page paper on the relations between natives and Europeans as it relates to the 1600's, attended the "Ancient Voices" exhibit (on my own time) at the Colorado History Museum, followed by a 6 page report on that!
The next class is Anatomy and Physiology...more memorization! My short term memory is on OVERLOAD!! It too has a generous amount of reading and for the first practical I've done 90 pages worth of written labs and have had my head under a microscope for hours on end memorizing tissues, muscles, blood, bone and all the minute parts!
Yes, I'm grumbling...what did you want for free???? (smile)
So, I will keep trying and try to modify my work strategies to get more efficient so I can ummm.....post positive blogs;that's the ticket!
I take John to the airport tomorrow at a time when you should be sleeping instead watching tarmacks speed by your side window. Whitley is staying at a friend's tonight, becaue there is no way I could get to three different places on oppposite ends of the world in two hours. John will be gone for two weeks visiting his Mom.
It has been cold here. As my dear friend Marlene says, "We are in the Brrrrr-Months: SeptemBrrrrr, OctoBrrrr, NovemBrrr..etc". The autumn fog rolls in and out. The heater has been running for the last few days. Today, the sun is supposed to break out with temps. in the low 70's. Autumn is my favorite time of year but I think I'm still in post-seasonal denial.
Well, that's it for the Rocky Mtn. Ramblers. Hope things are great on your end of the fiber optic connection! Talk to you later!
