2005-10-26 at 9:58 p.m. - my life so far

This is an email that i wrote to my aunt cheryl. Seeing as i don't have time for proper entries this will have to do. This give u a glimpse as to why i have no time.

Hi,

I'm currently taking a mental health break from biology. I received ur letter today, i really should send updates more often i know. Little did i know enrolling for 16 credit hours would make me become a borderline crazy person. I mean last year i felt like i was always just getting somethign finished and then some other big assignment would come up. Looking back that was nothing! I only had one hard hard class, chemistry, and everything else, while important, was not as important or hard and were pretty easily delt with. This semester i'm retaking chem 2, and i'm in bio 1 with a lab class, on top of a writing intensive english class and a 5credit hour foreign language class(which has been a breeze so far thank all that is good!). Several people have told me 14 hrs is pretty much the breaking point for having a life. I am trying to have a life too and it just isn't working out so well. Whenever i do take minibreaks to make a wally world run or something i'm constantly thinking about how i need to be studying for bio/chem right now. I was upset that Blockbuster cut my hours. I mean i was only getting scheduled for 1 day a week there for a while, its gotten better. But now i am glad i don't work that much because i have so much moreschool work than last year it seems. What happened! I'm only taking one more class than i was last year and one is spanish 1 so its not like that one is hard. What ever it is it is causing me to keep a tylenol bottle on my desk because i keep getting headaches all the time, and i am pretty sure my blood is half caffeine because i can never seem to wake up in the morning. there was a 3 week period when i had to swear off TV...which sits right next to my desk...because i had so much stuff to do. My buddy Hyder who i met at a campus movie night(back at the begining of september when is still thought i'd be having a life) says i don't go out and meet new people. Its true, i don't do as many of the on campus activities as i should, but i don't know where everyone finds the time. My room mate's one friend goes to the gym everyday and he is in the 6 yr med program so he is taking over 20 hours. I want to know how he manages his time! Meagan and i have been attempting to go to the gym every mon wed fri and we did for a while...but then midterms came...and from here on out for the rest of the semester i will have just barely enough time between tests to study for the next test in all my classes. Of course my two hardest classes have their finals less than 24hours apart.

At this point i'm am looking forward to 8pm on december 13th. By that time all my finals will be over and i won't have another class until January 9th.

I'm pretty sure this is more than what you wanted me to say about how my life is treating me, but i know you'll understand.

Well ttyl,

Kristen
