Academic Ramblings

Academic Ramblings

I finally got my tennis schedule for this coming semester today. It's not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I was afraid that I'd be missing alot of class due to tournaments, but it doesn't look that way.

I was either stupid or crazy at the time I signed up for classes because I'm taking 4 classes from 8am to 12 pm on Monday, Wednesday, Friday. The tennis team usually misses alot of Fridays in the Spring because this is our big season. Looking at the schedule, I'll only be missing Fridays 3 times this semester!! I think I missed 10 Fridays or so last year. I remember it was just under the "you don't pass if you miss this many classes" mark. I think I'll be alright. I am taking a Trigonometry class online. Kind of scared about that. I was flipping through the text for my physiology of exercise class... that looks REALLY hard. I don't think that should be too bad though, because that's one of my major classes and I'm actually interested in that topic. I'm also antsy about "beginning tumbling." Just how "beginning" is this going to be? I can't even touch my toes without bending my knees, or do a cartwheel with straight legs. I am going to die.

Back to tennis... we're not going anywhere cool this year. We're trying to save up to go to Hawaii next year. If I want to graduate in 4 years, I won't be going to Hawaii. The more I think about it though, I think I'd rather take an extra semester or 2 and get to keep playing tennis after this semester and go to Hawaii and all the other fun things I'd be missing out on if I killed myself with the 17 hours a semester minimum I need to graduate in the normal amount of time. Hey, an extra semester isn't half bad for basically having 3 minors. Why not enjoy myself a little? What other time in my life will I have this much freedom and so little responsibility? That would push back PT school by a year then, which in turn would basically push life after college-- getting out of my hometown (finally), getting myself my own family, etc-- back a year too. That would really stink. That's why I may not want to enjoy myself right now. I have a decision to make.

Alright, that is the end of my ramblings. Sometimes it helps to just think "outloud." That's one of the many reasons I started this blog anyway-- a sort of cheap therapy. Haha. Ok, I'm really out.
