Re-Routined

Today I feel like I finally returned to a routine. It took a little over a week, but I am used to the new quarter and have developed my daily routine. Hopefully, this will continue to include the rec center.

Not Missing Monday

Today I thought I was going to be at a scholarship luncheon in Seattle. Therefore, I thought I could do my reading homework for today on the bus to and from Seattle as I was going to have to miss my class anyway.

Late last night, I figured out the luncheon is next Monday. That meant I was not going to miss class today. The next couple hours late last night were spent finishing my reading homework. It was not fun reading page after page about the difference in 19th century crop yields in China compared to England, especially so late at night.

Today I had my 8:00am jogging class today, so I had to get up early. In my jogging class, new students in the class had to fill out paperwork, so only five minutes of the class were actually spent jogging. Then in my political science class I stayed up late finishing the readings for, we didn't even talk about the readings at all. I was so tired this afternoon, I spent several hours of it napping. I also started the Wednesday readings for my political science class, another 50 pages on the differing crop yields of China and England.

Spring in my Step

The past few days the weather has been glorious. The sun has been shining, the birds chirping, and people out in masses enjoying the nice weather. The fountain in Red Square has finally been turned back on after a long, dormant winter. Hopefully, the nice weather continues, it has a way of cheering up people.

Sleep In is Out

Today I slept in a bit later than I wanted. It was nice to get a good amount of sleep, but not nice to feel like I slept half of the day away. Although I didn't work on homework as planned, I did play some soccer and went to a fun game night. Hopefully tomorrow I will get up a bit earlier.

Going Postal

Today I learned a valuable lesson and skill. I needed to mail something but didn't have the right size envelope. It took me two tries, but I made a fairly decent envelope. I then found out I only had ten minutes to make it to the post office on the other side of campus before they closed for the weekend.

I had put so much time and effort into making my envelope, I really wanted to get it in the mail today. I had to run/sprint to the other side of campus. On my way there, I saw some family friends and their son touring campus. I didn't have time to even slow down so I just said I had to get to the post office.

I ended up making it to the post office just in time, but felt bad I had literally ran by people in the process. I suppose that is better than running over people, but I still felt bad. I spent the next couple hours trying to find them, but I couldn't. I not only learned how to make a nice envelope today, but learned a valuable lesson that people are more important than postal deadlines.

Reading Rightnow

Today I did quite a bit of walking and reading. I walked down to another bookstore off campus because the campus bookstore didn't have the book I need for one of my political science classes. Thankfully, the other bookstore did. The bad news, I then had to read the first 63 pages before class tomorrow on top of another 25 page article I need to print and read. The other two books I need to buy for that class can wait. Welcome back to college.

Ups and Downs

Today was a bit of a depressing day. I had registered for an economics class I didn't have the prerequisites for. So, I found out today that I will have to drop it and I can't find anything to replace it with. I then found out I am not a finalist for the internship I applied for. It all sort of hit me at once. But the more I think about it, things could be a lot worse and aren't really even that bad. Now, I will have more free time for the difficult classes I am taking and my summer can be spent with my family.
