Our games of make-believe are at an end.

First day of school at my new university and I don't really have much to say. I guess that isn't surprising I only had my Botany lab today. The professor is the father of two kids I went to middle school with and has an awesome sense of humor. Biology professors with a sense of humor are the best.

I also sit next to a guy that when I look at him out of the corner of my eye I mistake for someone else, even though I know full well that person isn't there, that they won't ever be there. I guess there is a bittersweet comfort to that reminder. I'm hoping that view of him doesn't skewer my view or prevent me from getting to know him for who he is, not who he reminds me of or who I wish he was.

There was a different feel of the campus, until I actually got into the classroom and my classmates started filing in. Then, I realized that there actually wasn't much of a difference. I did feel old, until a familiar face from my Physics course a year or so ago walked in.

Tomorrow I have the Botany lecture, Molecular Biology lecture and lab, and Theology. I'm really not looking forward to Theology. It looks like it is entirely about Christianity, and honestly, that doesn't interest me in the slightest. I'd go back to church if I had an interest in learning any more about Christianity. But alas, it is required at my university and the Comparative Religions course I took doesn't transfer over as that.

It is going to be a long day tomorrow, non-stop class from 8AM to 5PM. I didn't even go to class that long in high school, the things I do to make sure I can still work enough hours at work. I'm tired already with only that 3 hour lab I had today.

Good luck getting back into the swing of school. Your day tomorrow sounds intense!

Thanks! I should be okay once I get used to the new campus. It wasn't too bad, actually. Half of the day is spent in my Molecular Biology lab and that sounds like it is going to be incredibly fun.

Oo I had 8-5 days my senior year and it was rough but I sorta enjoyed spending an entire day on campus and soaking up the atmosphere lol

I'm glad it is just one day of the week, since it is so long because of my lab. Thursdays and Mondays are short days and I have Wednesday and Fridays off. This'll probably be the easiest schedule I have at the university, haha.

I LOVE biology professors with a good sense of humor! One of my favorite professors was a bio professor and he was hilariously incredible.

Eugh, religion classes in general...

Have a good day tomorrow! I hate those horridly long days.

It makes it so much easier to learn. Some of the material is so heavy and so boring, but those that can actually bring some fun to it are the best.

I don't mind World Religions, but my Theology class just makes me feel like I'm in Sunday school all over again, but this time it impacts my GPA.

Thanks!

Your classes sound interesting to me. :D
I've been thinking about taking botany since it was on my "recommended to take" list, but I can't figure out why a med student would need that.

Early morning classes suck, but at least you'll get parking. At the colleges I've been to, if you get there in the afternoon you usually don't get a parking place.

It is pretty fascinating, actually. I don't really care about plants much, but as I was doing the reading today I found out some pretty awesome stuff I had no idea about. The labs are going to be so fun too. I love being outside and that is what the majority of them will be.

Oh yeah, and parking on this campus is awful. People actually have to park on the side streets in front of people's houses because there is no parking at certain times. So far, I've been lucky. I go at 8AM two days a week and then at 2pm, and there was some openings at 2, surprisingly.
