Welcome to my world.

This blog is about my extremely dull day:

Today was one big hassle. To start, I woke up 15 minutes before I had to leave the house for school. Needless to say, I missed my first peer mentoring class (it's at 7:30 a.m.), but was too early for my official first class of the day (at 9:00 a.m.). I spent the hour chugging my nonfat latte, eating a breakfast bar, listening to my i-pod and writing in my journal (for the things I feel uncomfortable blogging about). The River Front Market was sooooo quiet this morning. Had it not been for my i-pod I would have fallen asleep. In any event I make it to my first class, Images of America, and realized that I did not do my reading for the day on Mary Rowlandson. I think my initial reaction was F@*#! It turns out that we spent so much time analyzing the Europeans influence and destruction on/of Native Americans that we never made it to the autobiography. Thank God!

At 10:00 I have absolutely nothing to do except run errands throughout the campus. Which leads me to my 11:00 class - Coms Research Methods (aka Statistics for Comms majors). We never make it through the agenda for that class because this 40 year old woman who is in the course asks the same questions over and over again. If you want to see 130 college students get angry, throw in a non-traditional student who wants everything explained 10 different ways with 10 different examples. We are never going to make it through all of the subject matter before the final.

By noon I am starving and still have a plethora of errands to run. It is a blessing to have a mail shop that offers fax service at school. I had to pay $4 to fax 3 sheets, but it's worth it to get it all done in one place.

I have the rest of the day to plan for Mentor meetings, study groups and outings (if I can ever get the professors involved). I had planned on going back to the school to swim, but I don't feel like driving all the way back over the causeway to do laps. I'll save that for Wednesday. See, I'm doing the swimming thing for 2 reasons: 1. I am training to swim at least 500 yards continuously and 2. Swimming is a complete body toner and cardio in one. Yippee! I love hitting 2 birds with one stone! (Not literally, I am a friend to the animals ... Unless they piss in my garage and eat through cords. Then all bets are off.)
