After a wonderful summer of trips to the Philippines and The Tetons (absolutely amazing, see facebook for pictures), concerts and other summer funness, things are swinging into full gear for another year of school. Even though I'm still at Tufts, with pretty much the same job, etc., Things do feel different. While still familiar, the campus seems somewhat alien to me, know that I am no longer in the part of the undergraduate majority. Living off-campus for the first time also contributes. I swear, the freshman get smaller and smaller every year. Overall, Tufts is still Tufts, for better or for worse.
The people at BSOT all seem very nice. I have about 30 people in my class, all girls. I guess that fits the stereotype of women being the more caring and nurturing gender. This semester I'm taking Anatomy, Physiology, Clinical Reasoning 1, Occupation and Adaptation: Children & Adolescents, and Health Conditions 1: Pathology & Prevention. Generally, my classes are good so far. Anatomy & Physiology are somewhat of a review for me since I took and A&P class at Northeastern a couple of summers ago, plus some bio classes at Tufts. Hopefully I'll be able to remember a little something from those classes. Most of my classes are in the late afternoon/evening, except for an 8:30am class on Fridays, which I can foresee having trouble waking up for.
Work is gearing up as well. We've started to take outside artists at Granoff, meaning more work and more high-demand people, but I'm still enjoying it. Raises always help too :)
So things are going decently. I'm getting back into a rhythm, but miss things like soccer and singing (I'm still trying to figure out a way to do both). I played in a soccer league over the summer, but the games no longer work with my class schedule. I'm just hoping that I'll be able to keep up with everything academically, I'm shooting for all As if possible, which is something I haven't done in quite sometime. But I also want/have to find a good balance between work and play. There are still a lot of things I have left to figure out, but why does it always seem that the things you want to think about the least you can't get out of your mind?
