watch out wednesday

The second day of the semester was just as eventful as the first one had been for me. Just like yesterday there were people everywhere and I still find that to be amusing. Traditionally speaking summer is over and now people have to start concentrating again.

For some of the people milling around on campus this is a completely new experience, while for me this is a place that has been part of my life for two years now. I had no idea that this would be the case when I started back then and I now know that it will be ending within a year. I had hoped to be done in the spring, but that would have been too much for me to handle. Actually my family were the ones that changed my mind for me. They saw that I was pushing myself too hard and needed to take things at a slower pace and I think that they were right. I do have limits and shouldn't let that bother me. Plus going to school should be something that I enjoy and not something that is running me into the ground.

...

Despite my best efforts I have yet to get the books that I need for this semester and it isn't due to lack of trying on my part. The bookstore just seems to be having problems getting enough copies of the books that I need. I don't see that as a big problem yet, but my time during the day is limited so I hate making a trip that doesn't have a pay off to it.

Today's class was being taught by the same professor who taught the last two classes that I have had so it was less jarring or novel of an experience than yesterday. Besides his face there were five others that I recognized sitting next to me and one of them was Sarah. She came in after I did and ended up in the back so I didn't see her until after class had started. Her being there wasn't a surprise, because she had mentioned that she was signed up for the class the last time that I saw her.

If my life were a movie, I would have run out of the class after Sarah and asked where she was going, but I didn't. As nice as it would have been to have a second class with her, she probably would have been more of a distraction than anything else or at least that is what I tell myself.
