I don't know that I've ever written a blog post from the computer lab at school before, by the end of this post you'll see why I am guessing it may happen more before spring is out... this is fun... :)

I thought I loved spring quarter, but I hate it when a 3 credit class requires a 2 hour lab on top of 3 hours of lecture on top of a ton of homework. Especially when that's how 4 of your 5 classes are, and when the profs didn't at ALL in any way indicate that we should prepare our schedules for having extra labs outside of class period... and when you have to take a bunch of classes that end up all being demanding, just so you can be a full-time student.

Welcome to my hell. :) I'll give you a quick taste of just Monday by the hour:

8 am: Class with the teacher we affectionately call "SOS" - short for "spawn of satan"
9 am: clinical observation of language disordered therapy
10 am: lecture
11 am: lab
12 pm: lab continued
1 pm: lecture class that is associated with the preceding lab
2 pm: class
3 pm: run to the student union building and shove food in my face
4 pm: lecture
5 pm: lecture continued
6 pm: lecture continued again
7 pm: RA meeting

You know it's a bad quarter when someone asks how your day was and you say without thinking "oh, it was pretty relaxing and good. I only had 3 classes today..." "...and I actually got to eat 2 full meals."

ha.

In other news.... wait, I haven't had time for any other news...

Oh, yes I have. The Mariners lost their opening game yesterday. Talk about heartbreaking.
I assure you that no matter how busy I get, I am going to keep up with baseball. My frisbee is looking forlorn in my backpack... and my softball glove hasn't even had a chance to be pulled off my shelf. But my books will be highlighted with notes in the margins, and I'm going to get into grad school because of it, so it will pay off in the end.

And for those of you who say college isn't about classes and studying, I'm sorry, but you're wrong. Maybe they're not about studying for Van Wilder or Einstein... but I'm definitely somewhere in the middle of those two extremes. :-D
