Classes

School is about to open. Now comes the time for me to panic and freak about how much work I'm going to have to do. I'm going to take 2 science+lab classes. Those have got to be killers. Plus, I have to take a PE class, which, of course, I hate. I hate PE. I hope it's more theory and less go-out-there-and-excercise. Yes, I realize that's what PE classes are meant for, but maybe I'll have to do a lot of outside walking exercises (on my own time). I hope we don't have to do too many walking exercises around campus. It's Walking and Fitness. It shouldn't be too bad, right? What about changing and changing rooms? I hate to change in front of other people. Plus, you have to wear proper attire to classes. What about if we are not doing any walking or exercises that class? Do we still have to wear gym clothes? Hate it.

Now, for the sciences. I especially chose Environmental Sci over Chem because I thought that it would be easier and it's something I might be interested in. Now I'm not so sure. I think I'll like the lecture part, but I know that I'm such a clumsy person that I'll probably mess up. Also, everyone loves that dreaded act of choosing a lab partner (that you might have to team up with for the rest of the semester!). It's that awkward: I-hope-I'm-not-a-loser-and-someone-picks-me-because-I don't-want-to-end-up-being-the-only-one-without-a-parnter-otherwise-I'll-look-ike-a-complete-idiot. Gosh. And I have two labs to look forward too. The other is Earth Sci.

I hope English goes all right as well. It might be a bit tougher, but I hope I can find the time to do all the essays, papers, and reading. I'm not familiar with the readings for the course, which means that I'll have to do the reading during the course. I should have spent time preparing for it, but oh well.

History should be fine, but it is early American History, which I haven't learnt about. But it's history. My favorite subject in school. I've always done well in it.

My advisor told me that taking two science courses might not be a good idea, but I might be able to pull it off. So, no worries?!

I'll just have to weather the storm.
