The Weekly Grind

I spent the day away sleeping.

2AM - 10AM, 1PM - 4PM.  !!!!!!!!!!  I don't know the last time I did this...

Looking back at my week, I totally deserved it.  The poor quality of sleep resulting from my 100-decibel a/c (that I eventually learned to turn off before going to bed), hectic schedule, long days, money stress, lack of food, etc., I deserved this.  I needed this.

But... given the amount of stuff that I need to do in preparation for next week... I did not need this.  At all.

When's this gonna end (or pause, rather)?  Decemberrrr.... oh geez.  This is easily the most anticipated Christmas of my life.


On a perkier note, I really like my classes!  I want to write about them! (Oh Stacey... stop it and get back to work.  ... No!)

Mineralogy -- I was kind of scared by my prof on the first day, but I'm enjoying it.  Even all those long, hungry hours of lab.....  And we got a really cool hand lens that I've been showing everybody. =D  The other day I watched crystals bloom under a microscope.....  It was cool.

Earth History -- I was dreading that this course would be one of those courses in which all you do is bash creationism...  Well, it kind of has to be, but I really love my professor.  I would say he is the best professor I've had at UGA so far.  He really knows what he's talking about, he puts in much time to his lectures and it shows, and he creates such a question-friendly atmosphere.  I love getting up early to go to his lectures.  The lab is a different story...

Chinese -- My teacher carries tea (tea leaves submerged and all) in a Nalgene bottle.  haha.  I guess I like her..  The other students are much better at Chinese than the classmates I had last year.

Dance Appreciation -- This really is the perfect complement to my 10-hour mineralogy class.  We spend 60% of the class watching and discussing So You Think You Can Dance clips on YouTube.  I'd never watched that show before.  This class certainly makes me appreciate dance... hahaha

Oh, first impressions.... I will keep you posted! =D
