honeymoons and fluff and...stress

You know how people talk about the honeymoon period in relationships? That time when you just LOVE who you are with and every single thing that you do together? Well, I feel like that was kind of how I was feeling about my relationship with grad school just a little bit ago, like the last time I blogged. I mean, I mentioned that it's hectic and all, but I hadn't even made it through the second week.

Week 4 is different. I'm older, more mature, and I've had a midterm already. Ya, say goodbye to those carefree days of not being tested. I didn't do as well as I wanted on the midterm, so I'm already studying for the final for this particular class, which only lasts half a quarter. The final is a week from this Thursday. I mean, whoa.

I also realized that after spending $350 on books (all on extreme sale/used from Amazon.com), I actually managed to miss 5 other books that I am supposed to have on hand at this point. Wtf? Can't a girl catch a break here? I already purchased 8 books. Remember the good ole days of 1-2 books per class?

Well, my griping really isn't going to help me learn any muscle attachments and innervations, so I guess it's time to get back to work!
