So, a lot (kind of) has been going on.
First, I chose to return as an RA next year for my third year. I'm excited but also a little nervous. I think it will take Spring Training to energize me. Right now I'm still focused on this year. Plus, I am still bummed about not getting ROTH. Not upset really...I just know I would've loved it there.
Second, my work out class is damaging me. I thought I had shin splints, but my boss's husband who is an AD at a highschool along with coach for softball and football sent me this thing about shin splints. And, while it is painful, some of the symptoms just are not present. I've never had shin splints before so I'm kind of out of the loop and clueless. I decided I'm going to rest. If it doesn't get better before Monday I will probably go see a doctor. Who knows...I certainly don't.
Third, school stinks! Classes are ridiculous. And, it's really difficult just due to teaching styles. 3 of the 4 professors I have utilize PowerPoint and that's pretty much all they do. 2 of those professors have quizzes over each chapter and you don't know when they'll be. So, you really have to keep up on the reading. I can not learn and absorb information strictly by reading and listening to a professor read directly from a powerpoint slide. I can't do it! I'm better off in Intermediate Accounting than any class because it requires me to only study before class, teach myself, and I take notes on everything. Writing is how I absorb information. I can't write notes for every class. It takes approximately 6 hours of studying for 8 to 10 pages in intermediate. Think of my management classes that have 30 page chapters!!! That would be 18 hours for one chapter! That will NEVER happen! But if it did, I would be phenomenal in all my classes!
Fourth, and this kind of goes along with the previous point...Time is a true struggle for me. To be able to perfectly balance school, RA job, residents, posting of signs, Josh, relationships with staff, meetings for Fall Training and NRHH, exercising, sleeping, eating, checking emails, etc seems impossible! Josh and I don't eat together on Tuesdays...this week was nearly impossible to eat together mainly due to my odd schedule with RA interviews...It was rough. And for some reason, that scheduled time to just sit, eat, and see his face seems to be a necessity because I got all off-kilter when we hadn't seen each other for 2 days! Ay yi yi....if I were a superhero, Time would be the villian! ha!
Fifth, next weekend in Valentine's Day Weekend. No plans. Maybe I'll ask for the gift of help to organize? Yeah, it's free and includes spending time together so it works for me!
