I am taking a Physics break. I've been a good little student today - I define that in terms of time spent in class/doing work vs. time sleeping/eating/sitting around. Physics homework for the past 3 hours....before that was physics lab, and physics class was at 9 this morning. I felt pretty useless, again, in lab today. I used to be the smart one, the take-charge one, the one that everyone depended on to explain things to them and basically run the procedures. Not here though. Either I'm not spending enough time with the material or it's juuust this side of too hard for me - I think it's a combination of both. At any rate, I've become one of those I used to loath. Gives me some perspective.

Ready for my class rant? First aid quiz and calc quiz tomorrow, physics assignment due Friday, linguistics quiz Friday, Bio exam Friday. It's nowhere near as bad as it sounds though - the first aid I can pretty much do with my eyes closed, calc I have time to study for after lifeguarding, which is in Gampel, which gives me the opportunity to go to the co-op and get my linguistics notes and still have time to study for calc, then choir, then probably lots and lots of bio. The physics homework is getting done tonight (yes it is!). So, I should be ok if I actually finish those last three problems tonight. Linguistics I'll read over after physics Friday morning, then 2 hours before the bio exam. Then choir again, which will really be more of a German-chanting affair than anything else. Then, late afternoon on Friday, I will do two things, not necessarily in this order: take a long nap, and go to the gym and swim a lot (for me).

When this mundane stuff and nonsense is done with for the week, I'm sure I'll be writing more interesting things. I've had a lot of "thoughts" this week, and my perception of a number of things has changed. I don't know if this is a bad or good thing, but my first priority right now is schoolwork. I'm inclined to say that that's a bad thing, but I'm a firm believer in "hard work builds character", and extensive self-analysis combined with a complete lack of stress and responsibility does, in my book, lead to poor personal development. After all, where do you think hippies came from?
