Round 2: *Ding*

The end of a seemingly perfect summer where God gave me a taste of a lil bit of everything. It didn't finish with a bang or a boom. Just a dinner with dad, 2hr parking lesson and a nite with Adrian and company. It was nice :)

But today officially marked the first day of second year. I was suppose to have a heavy day but no tutorials (YES)...i really enjoyed both ecology & neurosci. The profs are so awesome and so caring. But jeepers...i was trying so hard to stay awake in stats..oh so very hard. Mama. Just when i thought i've escaped the hands of math, it comes back to haunt me...again. But just in a different form and NOT with raymond grinnel this time :( Sigh. How will i ever adapt?
But on a brighter note, i did find out that i have both wednesdays AND fridays off. Yes people, only 3 days of school- Oh how sweet the sound. Besides that, i was able to get my locker, sign up for mentorship office hours and buy my stats book. Sorry guys, nothing terribly exciting.

By the time the second prof was explaining about the atlas we need to know by heart of the sheep brain, i realized that the chestpains has already began. School is like a cramp or in this case, a stroke. First is the chest tightens. Then the exchange of gas diminishes. Next everyting seems just a little dimmer. And finally your whole body has tightened so much that there is no room for anything else. Sigh. "Waiting to exhale" would in this case be the correct phrase. I guess i'm just really scared. Very. Even though i'm suppose to be helping others enjoy and adapt to uni, i'm secretly diahreaing myself. Not good! But on the other side of the coin, i'm really excited about the stuff that we'll be learning. As the profs were going through the syllabi (for all 3 courses) i found myself eager to envelope the information, knowledge and hopefully even wisdom that will be expected of us to know. It's like one of those indecisive, dilemma things. Except there's no room for my decisions to effect anything because whether i like it or not, lectures, quizzes, assignments and exams are all going to come like a storm. So i guess i'll just sit here quietly, with my legs bent, hands together, head bowed low and eyes looking to Him. There's no way i can depend on my own strength, it's all Jesus! My mighty Source. And BaBa thank you for that!
